ANNIE, CATS, WEDDING SINGER Set for Musical Theatre West in 2010-2011

Musical Theatre West has announced its 2010-2011 lineup which will include three classic revivals along with a world premiere by Roger Bean, who created "The Marvelous Wonderettes."

The season will begin with ANNIE, which will play from October 29 through November 14. Kick off the holidays with everybody's favorite orphan. Leaping off the comics' page and onto the stage, this Best Musical Tony Award-winner features a great score (including "Tomorrow," "Maybe" and "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile") and characters that can be loved by all ages. You'll want to bring the whole family to this classic.

Next is CATS, playing from February 11 through February 27. The 1981 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, this show is also one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history. This amazing score by Andrew Lloyd Weber includes the hit song "Memory." Enchanting music and fantastic dancing make this a purr-fect show for lovers of man's second-best friend.

The world premiere of SUMMER OF LOVE will play from April 1 through April 17. The creator of "The Andrews Brothers" and "The Marvelous Wonderettes" now brings us all the groovy music of the 1960s and '70s as we follow a young woman in search of her own "Summer of Love" to San Francisco. It's sure to be a real trip.

The season will wrap up with THE WEDDING SINGER from July 1 through July 17. We take you back to 1985 as we bring you the Southern California regional premiere of the musical based on the hit Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore film. A small-town wedding band singer falls in love with someone else's fiancee. Full of great music, fantastic dancing and plenty of big '80s hair.
