COMPANY
Tue, June 23 – Fri, July 3
No perf on Saturday, July 4
No Sundays 8:30 pm

This hip, clever show about marriage was a Broadway first — a “concept musical.” The story is told through vignettes rather than a linear plot and COMPANY’s premiere marked the end of the traditional “book musical.” It ushered in the modern musical era and COMPANY was awarded six Tonys in 1971 for its innovative approach. Thirty-eight years after the Broadway premiere, at a time when society is still passing laws and re-defining what marriage means, COMPANY remains as relevant and razor-sharp as ever. COMPANY is a hilarious and affecting portrayal of five married couples — as seen through the eyes of perpetual bachelor Robert. It features a brilliant, energetic, quintessentially Sondheim score, including the celebrated songs “Side By Side By Side,” “Ladies Who Lunch” and “Another Hundred People.”  In 1970 COMPANY audiences sat in rapt attention. Critics were jubilant and long lines formed outside the theater (Look Magazine 9/8/70). Among the original Broadway cast members were Elaine Stritch, Beth Howland, Barbara Barrie and Dean Jones. It captured 6 Tony Awards: Best Musical, Best Book, Best Score, Best Lyrics, Best Scenic Design and Best Direction. The 1995 Broadway revival at the Roundabout Theater was nominated for the Best Revival Tony, and the 2006 Broadway revival, in which the actor’s played their own instruments, won the Tony for Best Revival.

ALL SHOOK UP
Wed, Jul 15 – Sat, Jul 25
No Sundays 8:30 pm

Built around the songs made famous by Elvis Presley, All Shook Up tells the story of a small town girl with big dreams and the motorcycle-riding roustabout she falls for. Among the 25 famous Elvis songs included in the score of this hilarious and rollicking juke-box musical, the show boasts renditions of LOVE ME TENDER, HEARTBREAK HOTEL, IT'S NOW OR NEVER, BLUE SUEDE SHOES, CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE and, of course, ALL SHOOK UP. Fun for the entire family, whether you're a long-standing fan or new to the music of the King.

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
Wed, August 5 – Sat, August 15
No Sundays 8:30 pm

SINGIN ’IN THE RAIN, the most famous and beloved movie musical of all time, has been faithfully and lovingly adapted for the stage from the original award-winning screenplay. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number – complete with a live on stage rain storm! Originally released by MGM in 1952, the film version of SINGIN' IN THE RAIN starring Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Conner, won numerous honors including several Academy Awards. In 2006, it was named by the American Film Institute as the number one movie musical of all time. SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is a hysterically funny “backstage” musical set in 1927 Hollywood during the difficult transition from silent films to talking pictures. In the story, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are the darlings of the silent silver screen and the biggest stars at Monumental Pictures. But with the advent of “talkies”, the public demands musicals and the screechy-voiced Lina can’t sing or dance. With help from Don and his new girl friend, the golden-throated up-and-coming starlet Kathy Seldon, the studio cooks up a scheme to have Kathy sing and provide the on-screen voice for Lina. But when Lina learns the studio’s secret, its heart-break and hi-jinks for Don and Kathy.
