In February, we will journey to Paris, the city of love, at the turn of the 20th Century, a time when love and marriage did not always go hand in hand.

The renowned movie swept the Oscars in 1959, winning Best Picture, and the stage version boasts even more songs, more tears and more romance. You’ll fall in love with this Tony winning score brought to life by our heavenly Reprise orchestra.

Happy Birthday, Alfred Drake! He is best known for his leading roles in the original Broadway productions of Oklahoma!; Kiss Me, Kate; Kismet; and for playing Marshall Blackstone in the original production of Babes in Arms, (in which he sang the title song) and Hajj in Kismet, for which he received the Tony Award.
