Conceived by Scott Ellis, Jacques Deval and Susan Stroman. Lyrics by Fred Ebb. Music by John Kander. Life - with its glories, indignities, hopes and quiet dreams - is the subject of this dazzling outpouring of song and dance. The World Goes 'Round features songs like "All That Jazz," "Ring Them Bells," "Maybe This Time," "Cabaret," and "New York, New York." The World Goes 'Round won the 1991 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Revue. A Midsummer Night's Dream
November 8 – 12, 2006
By William ShakespeareThere is much mischief to be had in Shakespeare's most popular comedy when lovers defy authority and flee the court, only to find themselves caught in a zany web of illusion, romance, and magic in the Athenian woods. Featuring fairies, love potions, mixed-up lovers, magic spells, and a pompous rustic sporting a donkey's head, A Midsummer Night's Dream promises to bring laughter and a healthy dose of enchantment to South Florida this autumn.
November 29 – December 3, 2006
Music and lyrics by William Finn. Book by William Finn and James Lapine.
It was only three days after winning the Tony Award for his Broadway musical Falsettos that composer William Finn was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Faced with this terminal diagnosis, Finned teamed up with playwright James Lapine to create this autobiographical musical about a composer who worries that he'll die without leaving anything of value behind. The result is a lovely comedy that manages to be one of the most life-affirming, most heartfelt musicals written in the last decade, perhaps a show only someone who has actually faced death could have written." (For mature audiences)Brighton Beach Memoirs
