Photo Flash: Rubicon's Musical Theatre Youth Intensive presents the Classic Musical Comedy ON THE TOWN

The Big Apple hits the big stage when Rubicon's Musical Theatre Youth Intensive presents the quintessential musical comedy ON THE TOWN. Set in New York City during WWII, Three Sailors explore the city during their 24-hour leave, finding love and adventure at every turn. Originally developed by composer Leonard Bernstein and choreographer Jerome Robbins, with book and lyrics byBetty Comden and Adolph Green, On the Town features some of Bernstein's most recognizable Broadway songs.

Directed by Rubicon Associate Artistic Director and Director of Education and Outreach BrIan McDonald and choreographer Carolanne Marano, with musical direction by Miriam Arichea, this fun-filled musical sweeps through the world's most iconic city with dazzling dance numbers, humor and memorable show tunes. A live 8-piece orchestra will feature local professionals and students, enhancing familiar songs that include "Come Up to My Place," "Lucky to Be Me," "Some Other Time" and "New York, New York." This high-energy, unapologetically American musical opens August 4 and runs for two weeks through August 12. Performances take place at Rubicon Theatre Company, 1006 E.
