2008 Season

Leonard Bernstein’s hauntingly beautiful retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story in a New York City setting. The well-loved score includes “Maria,” “America,” “Tonight,” “Gee, Officer Krupke,” “I Feel Pretty” and “Somewhere There’s A Place For Us.”

Brought to life by one of Sullivan’s best musical scores, “absolute equality” runs amuck in Gilbert’s topsy-turvy tale of a stolen prince turned Venetian gondolier. Your first chance this season to re-discover the wonderful genius of Gilbert and Sullivan!

A myriad of Gershwin hits combine in one dazzling musical. “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Bidin’ My Time,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not For Me” and “I Got Rhythm” will send you home from the theatre humming and dancing!

A romantic, nostalgic and uplifting story about show business people on a riverboat over the course of three generations and almost fifty years. Songs include “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,” “Make Believe,” “Bill,” “Why Do I Love You?” and “Old Man River.”

“C’est Magnifique!” Cole Porter’s 1953 Broadway hit set in Paris amidst the controversy of whether the “naughty” can-can should be banned and its lovely dancers jailed. The inspired score includes “I Love Paris In the Springtime,” “Wrong Time, Wrong Place,” “Live and Let Live” and “Never, Never Be An Artist.”

One of the Gilbert and Sullivan team’s most popular and beloved operettas! A tuneful and witty satire on British law and government, Iolanthe includes such audience pleasers as the Lord Chancellor’s tongue-twisting “Nightmare Song,” “When Britain Really Ruled the Waves,” “Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady” and the spectacular “March of the Peers.”

The story of a young man’s climb to the top of The Organization by following instructions in his “how to” book. “Stings mischievously and laughs uproariously” raved The New York Times. Songs include “I Believe in You,” “The Company Way,” “A Secretary Is Not a Toy” and “The Grand Old Ivy” fight song.

Seduction, scandal, betrayal and a lot of laughs accompany the classic tale of the mysterious “Scarlet Pimpernel” and his band of English nobility who rescue victims from the guillotine during the French Revolution. The score includes the inspiring battle cry “Into the Fire,” the poignant “Where’s the Girl,” the humorous “The Creation of Man” and the romantic “When I Look at You.”

This 1973 musical is based on Bergman’s film Smiles Of A Summer Night. Nominated for twelve Tony Awards, it won six, including Best Musical. A charming score and witty book provide a most entertaining evening. Songs include “Night Waltz,” “A Weekend In the Country” and “Send In The Clowns.”
