Hennepin Theater Trust Announces Upcoming Events For 2009

Hennepin Theater Trust Annouces their events happening this week:

Grease - Direct From Broadway
Presented by Hennepin Theatre Trust
Orpheum Theatre

Grease, Time Magazine's 2007 pick for "#1 musical of the year," is rockin' across the country in this new production direct from Broadway. Take a trip to a simpler time of poodle skirts, drive-ins and T-birds. "Bad boy" Danny and "the girl next door" Sandy fall in love all over again to the tune of your favorite songs: "Summer Nights," "Greased Lightnin'" and "We Go Together" as well as additional songs from the hit movie: "Grease," "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and "You're the One That I Want." So throw your mittens around your kittens and hand jive the night away with the show that'll make you want to stand up and shout, "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bam-boom!" Grease!

NOTE: Taylor Hicks will perform January 2-4 only!
STUDENT RUSH: Tickets are $20 each CASH only, and will be available 1 hour before the show. Students can buy up to 2 tickets at the rush price with each valid student ID.

Frost/Nixon tackles the question: How did David Frost, a famous British talk-show host with a playboy reputation, elicit the apology that the rest of the world was waiting to hear from former President Richard Nixon? Award-winning stage and screen actor Stacy Keach stars as Richard Nixon. He leads a cast of 10 in this fast-paced Tony Award nominated new play which shows the determination, conviction and cunning of two men as they square off in one of the most monumental television interviews of all time. Frost/Nixon is written by Peter Morgan, writer of The Queen, The Last King of Scotland, The Other Boleyn Girl and HBO's "Longford," and directed by Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage.
