Almost Famous
Book & Lyrics by Cameron Crowe and Tom Kitt
Music & Lyrics by Tom Kitt

Choreography by Lorin Latarro
Presented by special arrangement with Lia Vollack for Columbia Stage, Joey Parnes, Sue Wagner, and John Johnson.
It’s all happening… San Diego, 1973. Led Zeppelin is king, Richard Nixon is President, and idealistic 15-year-old William Miller is an aspiring music journalist. When Rolling Stone magazine hires him to go on the road with an up-and-coming band, William is thrust into the rock-and-roll circus, where his love of music, his longing for friendship, and his integrity as a writer collide. Written by Academy Award winner Cameron Crowe based on his iconic film, Almost Famous is about a young man finding his place in the world and the indelible characters he meets along the way. Directed by Tony Award nominee Jeremy Herrin, it features classic hits as well as new songs by Pulitzer Prize and two-time Tony Award winner Tom Kitt. This joyous world premiere is a celebration of community and the power of music.

A Globe-commissioned world premiere musical by five-time Tony Award nominee Michael John LaChiusa. The Gardens of Anuncia is inspired by the life story of an icon of the American stage who directs and choreographs the show at the Globe: Broadway legend Graciela Daniele. Anuncia tends the garden of her country house as she reflects on her life, looking back on her girlhood in Juan Perón’s Argentina and paying homage to the family of women whose sacrifices allowed her to become an artist. This funny, poignant, and beautiful musical features a beguilingly romantic and tango-infused score filled with the exuberant sounds of women reveling in the joys of being alive.

OLDER ANUNCIA (mid-70’s to early 80’s) – Elegant yet down-to earth, she is a woman of distinction who has achieved the highest heights in her profession. She moves with the grace of a dancer and her every gesture conveys the history of a life rich in complication. (Lower to mid range.)

GRANDFATHER, (60’s) – A loveable rogue, he comes and goes, but his loves never wanes. (Baritone, to e/f)
THE DEER (30’s) – also plays SOLDIER, MOUSTACHE BROTHER – Transformative performer, equally at home in magical realism and real life. Has a touch of the poet and a dry, sly sense of humor. (Baritone to f)
