Jesus Christ Superstar 

Show dates were August 19-28, 2016 

ABOUT THE SHOW

Music & Lyrics by: Tim Rice & Andrew Lloyd Webber

The greatest story ever told. The most famous rock opera of all time.  With lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jesus Christ Superstar is loosely based on the Gospel’s account of the last week in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, beginning with his arrival into Jerusalem and the ending with the Crucifixion.  Here, the myth is stripped from the man to reveal an all-too-human soul, troubled and doubting those closest to him, the whims of those who judge him, the heartache of a woman who loves him and the motives of the man who ultimately betrays him.  With songs such as “Everything’s Alright” to “I Don’t Know How To Love Him” this profound musical is directed by Ed Trout.

To make things worse, Wednesday makes her father promise to keep this secret from her mother.  Everything changes on that fateful night they host a dinner party for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents. Come meet the family and we’ll leave the lights off for you.  This ghoulish Footlite premiere is directed by Ed Trout.

Monty Python’s Spamalot

November 25 – December 11, 2016

Book & Lyrics by: Eric Idle

Music by: John Du Prez & Eric Idle

Monty Python’s Spamalot is not your average story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It is full of everything you would expect from Monty Python including singing, dancing, bad jokes that are maybe a little off color and a bevy of beautiful showgirls.  Spamalot mashes up Camelot with Vegas, madrigals with power ballads, and killer rabbits with a ‘softer’ Sir Lancelot.  This show shamelessly skewers musicals in general with choice jabs to Fiddler on the Roof, Funny Girl, Phantom of the Opera and Guys and Dolls. Winner of three Tony Awards including Best Musical, Spamalot is a perfect night out without the kids.  Directed by Rich Baker.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Book & Lyrics by: Howard Ashman

Welcome to Skid Row and Mushnik’s Flower shop where a meek shop clerk named Seymour Krelborn is tired of life in the gutter and dreams of fame, fortune and love.

In his quest for something better, Seymour finds and cares for a strange plant that he names Audrey II.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Original Book by: P.G. Wodehouse, Guy Bolton, Howard Lindsay & Russel Crouse

All aboard the S.S. American, where nightclub singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney is en route from New York to England in Cole Porter’s classic screwball comedy Anything Goes.  This delightful, delicious and absolutely de-lovely romp features tap dancing sailors, jazz baby angels, crooning stowaways, public enemy #13, wealthy Englishmen and a lovely debutante. Romance is in the air on this luxury liner but it is far from smooth sailing. It is nonstop laughter and hi-jinks on the high seas with a show packed with spectacular dance numbers and many unforgettable Cole Porter songs such as “You’re The Top”, “Friendship” and “I Get A Kick Out Of You”.  Kathleen Clarke Horrigan steers this production into port.
