Summer Stock Austin's 11th Season to Feature INTO THE WOODS, GUYS & DOLLS
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway... turns out, they're just as bright in the Rollins Studio Theatre, where Summer Stock Austin will play its 11th summer season with Great White Way favorites; Into the Woods and Guys & Dolls, in addition to the world premiere of Allen Robertson's newest family musical, Tortoise & Hare. Tickets are now on sale and start at $25, with a special $17 ticket for students.
Guys & Dolls: Get ready to rock, shake and roll, because Broadway's "perfect musical comedy" is coming to Summer Stock Austin! The Tony-winning Guys and Dolls is rocking the boat in Austin this summer. Guys and Dolls follows a fly-by-night gambler as he attempts to woo a Salvation Army missioner for a $1,000 bet. Meanwhile, a beleaguered showgirl tries to hook her fiancé of 14 years, the founder of "the oldest, established, permanent, floating crap game in New York." Guys and Dolls introduces audiences to a cast of characters who have become legends in the musical theatre world.
Into the Woods: What happens after the "happily ever after?" Take that question, a slew of our favorite fairytale characters, and Stephen Sondheim's unparalleled score and you have Into the Woods. James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim's Tony Award-winning musical follows Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and more of our favorite characters in this fractured (musical!) fairytale.
Tortoise & Hare: Theatre-for-All, the Summer Stock Austin "family audience" production, will be following up last year's hit, Stone Soup, with the world premiere of Allen Robertson's Tortoise & Hare. Ancient vs. modern. Brain vs. brawn. Peace vs. war. Sacred vs. secular. Poor vs. rich. Reptile vs. mammal. The ultimate culture clash between two tribes and a fantastical race to decide the fate of them all. Musical styles collide in this energetic new re-imagining of the ancient fable, Tortoise & Hare.
