FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
February 5 – 27, 2010
In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler On The Roof has touched audiences around the world with its humor, warmth and honesty. Its universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.
THE FANTASTICKS
March 26 – April 24, 2010
This romantic and charming musical has been enchanting audiences around the world since it first debuted Off-Broadway in 1960. The Fantasticks is the longest-running production of any kind in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. Its moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature, meaningful love is punctuated by a bountiful series of catchy, memorable songs, many of which have become standards.
BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS
May 7 -29, 2010
Here is part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.”
NINE
June 18 – July 10, 2010
Soon to be a major motion picture, this spectacular winner of the 1982 Tony Award for Best Musical delighted Broadway theatergoers in a hit revival in 2003 starring Antonio Banderas. Based on Fellini’s classic film 8 1/2, Nine is the story of celebrated film director Guido Contini and his attempts to come up with a plot for his next film as he is pursued by hordes of beautiful women, all clamoring to be loved by him and him alone. A musical version of the Casanova story.
LES MISERABLES
DE DEUX RECIT DU VILLES
August 13 – September 4, 2010
From the creators of McBeth! The Musical Comedy comes this hilarious musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities,” performed by the colorful and crazy characters that inhabit the fictional Rosencrantz Theatre. This musical manages to send up shows such as My Fair Lady, Oliver!, Jesus Christ Superstar, Les Miserables and many others. Fun for the entire family. A Boiler Room original!
RENT
October 1 – 31, 2010
Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini’s opera La Boheme, this edgy rock operetta follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York’s East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.
CHRISTMAS BELLES
November 27 – December 21, 2010
A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa,
a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator. In true Futrelle fashion, the feuding Futrelle sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro, Texas will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!
