Upcoming Shows

Gypsy
June 15 – July 1, 2012

Music by Jule Styne; Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by Arthur Laurents – From the first trumpet blast of its legendary Overture to the last white-hot spotlight, Gypsy is considered by many to be the greatest American musical ever. Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist. The story focuses on her mother, Momma Rose, whose name has become synonymous with “the ultimate show business mother.” Gypsy follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of show business life. The musical contains many songs that became popular standards, including “Small World,” Everything’s Coming up Roses, “Some People,” and “Let Me Entertain You.”

Legally Blonde the Musical
July 27 – August 12, 2012
*This show is not part of the season subscription package.

The hilarious MGM film and Broadway smash hit LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is making it’s local premiere on The Lyric stage! LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning Broadway and MTV hot pink, this “Feel-Good Song and Dance Juggernaut” (New York Magazine) is “The Best New Musical Around!” (WOR).
