HAIRSPRAY
Book:
Mark O'Donnell & Thomas Meehan; Music & Lyrics: Marc Shaiman;
additional lyrics by Scott Wittman
Baltimore is sweeping out the
fifties and swingin' in the sixties -- music is in the air and
blasting the airwaves with winds of change. The musical version
of John Waters' quirky tale of Tracy-Turnblad-turned-celebrity puts
the 'boffo' in 'bouffant' -- and the entire casr dances right into
audience hearts with energy, enthusiasm, and pre-'High School Musical'
hijinx!

AIN'T
MISBEHAVIN'
Music: Thomas "Fats" Waller;
Lyrics: Various artists. Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and
Richard Maltby, Jr.
Before
the Detroit sound, Harlem of the 1930s vibrated with the original soul
music of Fats Waller and others. In an era of honky-tonk dives,
impromptu rent parties, Cotton Club elegance, and emergent swing,
Wallter's brilliant take on the era provides the strut and strumming
that makes for the ultimate revue-style show. In addition to the
title song, get ready for the beat of an earlier generation that is
remarkably current -- and an evening of toe-tapping, comic and
crooning tunes.

DOUBT,
a parable
By:
John Patrick Shanley
Winner
of a 2005 Pulitzer and multiple Tony Awards - and recently a major
film - DOUBT is a taut drama of nuanced conversations and questions
that poke at the ambiguity surrounding its four characheters like a
shroud. Father Flynn teches 8th grad boys about manhood; Sister
James their lessons; and principal of St. Nicholas School, Sister
Aloysius, bears responsibility for them all; and young Robert Muller's
mother is willing to look aside if her son is prepared for a better
high school. Fueled by half-truths and gossip that prove more
powerful than a sermon, the four characters interact in a chess
game of deception with young Muller as a pawn.
Recommended
for thoughtful, mature audience

The
PRODUCERS
Book:
Mel Brooks & Thomas Meehan;
Music & Lyrics: Mel Brooks
Bialystock
and Bloom: names familiar to followers of (like Hairspray)
another cult film turned musical....in this case, Mel Brooks'
hilarious comedy "The Producers." At first reluctant
to turn his classic film into a musical, Brooks -- and Broadway --
ended up with the most-winning musical ever, and 12 Tonys, awarding
sudiences with high humor from low characters. Flop producer
Bialystock partners with bean-counter Bloom to create a sure-fire flop
designed to bilk investers while making big bucks for the larcenous
pair....instead, they get a back-fire of a hit from their creation
"Springtime for ''Hitler." Who knew? And what
fun getting there!!
Recommended
for tweens, teens, and fun-loving audiences of all ages.

CURTAINS
Book:
Rupert Holmes; Lyrics: Fred Ebb; Music: John Kander
WinThe
leading lady's performance is murdering the Boston opening of a new
musical "Robbin' Hood" when she (thankfully for the cast and
creators) collapses before the curtain falls. A temporary
solution is considered, only to find they need a more permanent one:
the lady is dead. enter Lt. Frank Cioffi, homicide detective and
amateur thespian. While Cioffi investigates, continued poor
reviews and a second death dog the production. With dogged
determination of his own, all Cioffi has to do is piece together the
clues, unmask the killer, intervene before the next victim is set . .
. and, oh, find a new finale for the show! All set to a great
score by legendary team Kander and Ebb. A multiple award-winning
who-dun-it of a musical.

for everyone.

BLITHE SPIRIT, An
Improbable Farce
By:
Noel Coward
Wartime
wit from one of Britain's finest. Coward gives us Charles
Condomine, who while researching his latest novel engages the services
of spiritulist medium Madame Arcati. Inadvertantly, she conjures
up the late - and first - Mrs. Condomine, to the dismay of the second
- and current - wife Ruth. Classic farce meets ghost story in
three-way repartee, as only Charles can 'see' first wife Elvira.
English mannered comedy: think cucumber sandwiches, dry martinis, and
one-liners served up with elegance.
Recommended
for all fans of the classic comedy of a bygone era.

SWEENEY TODD, The
Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Music
& Lyrics: Stephen Sondheim; Book: Hugh Wheeler.
Based on a version of Sweeney Todd by Christopher
Bond.
Sung-through,
the score and lyrics paint a vivid picture of the barbaric, seedy side
of 19th century London as this musical thriller unfolds a suspenseful,
heart-pounding tale. Unjustly exiled, and now returned home, the
Barber Sweeney plies his trade with a vengeance -- and revenge for the
lecherous judge who framed him, and ravaged his young wife.
Sweeney's thirst for blood is only matched by the enthusiasm of the
resourceful pie-shop proprietress who soon has all London lining up to
sample her mysteriously delicious meat pie recipe.
Dark, yet brilliant, the musical offers sophisticated fun,
uncompromising intensity broken only by flashes of humor that explode
with needed relief.
Fairly
intense, with mature themes, recommend this experience for a
mature audience.
