Lyrics by Bob Merrill

On a wooden platform, beneath a fragile cardboard moon, there is a boy, a girl, their fathers and a wall. It seems to be very little, but it is The Fantasticks, the longest-running musical in the history of American theatre. How much more can a show combine than beauty, originality, spirit, and tender wisdom? Memorable songs include "Try to Remember" and "Soon it's Gonna Rain."

 

A tongue in cheek parody of Victorian melodrama, Gothic romance novels and old movies from the 30s and 40s. Lady Enid, second wife of Lord Edgar, is having trouble feeling at home mostly because Irma Vep, Lord Edgar's late first wife, remains a palpable presence. Outrageously campy, this quick change comic masterpiece features a werewolf, a vampire, a dancing Egyptian mummy, two bizarre servants and enough plot twists to fill a pretzel factory.

 

A Broadway blast of biblical proportions. Based on the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors, this big, bright musical features a kaleidoscope of music from calypso to religious refrains. Bring your family on a rainbow ride through ancient Egypt and join an exuberant cast on this wildest of dreams.

 

Andrew Wyke, a famous crime writer, invites a young neighbor to his home for drinks. They become frantically involved in a virtuoso and fatal game. But who do you trust when time is your enemy and where every perfect crime requires a body and a murderer? A devilishly clever thriller sparkling with ingenious wit.

 

A third rate acting company is desperately trying to open a British bedroom farce called Nothing On. As everything falls to pieces during final rehearsals, the cast is also busy sorting out their sordid love affairs, to hilarious effect. A wild look at the backstage (and back-stabbing) world of the theatre.

 

Based on the screenplay, Some Like It Hot, Joe and Jerry, two out of work depression era musicians, have the misfortune to witness a mob hit. To get out of Chicago they disguise themselves as Josephine and Daphne and join an all girl band on its way to Miami Beach. Things get crazier and funnier when they meet the sexy lead singer, Sugar Kane.
