From the early hits to later classics (I Want To Hold Your Hand, Hard Day's Night, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let It Be, Come Together, Hey Jude and more), this adoring tribute will take you back to a time when all you needed was love, and a little help from your friends!

Nilo Cruz Joins Team of Asolo Rep's HAMLET, PRINCE OF CUBA
by Nicole Rosky - October 04, 2011
Cuban-American playwright and winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Nilo Cruz has joined the creative team of Asolo Rep's Hamlet, Prince of Cuba to translate the play into Spanish. Cruz's 2002 play, Anna in the Tropics, was the recipient of The Pulitzer Prize, The Steinberg Award and two Tony nominations. Playwright Eduardo Machado (The Cook, Havana is Waiting, HBO's Hung) was originally commissioned to work on the script; however, due to changes in the nature of the project as well as commitments to other work, Mr. Machado had chosen to step away from the production. Cruz will be joining Asolo's artistic director, Michael Donald Edwards, to bring Hamlet, Prince of Cuba to Sarasota and Miami audiences in English and Spanish. Edwards and Cruz previously collaborated on last year's hit production Hurricane, which premiered at the Ringling International Arts Festival. Cruz is no stranger to Florida, having grown up in Miami and even set Anna in the Tropics in Ybor City, a section of the Tampa Bay area. 'Nilo is not only a wonderful artist and human being, but it is thrilling for me to further develop our collaboration after such an exciting one on Hurricane. His connection to Miami, Tampa Bay and Florida is going to bring a highly valued perspective to this thrilling project,' said Edwards.
