Reston Players Present Broadway Classic AIDA

Aida, winner of four Tony Awards and featuring music by pop legend Sir Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice, will be sweeping the Reston Community Center stage for 10 extraordinary performances. This musical is popular and special because its story combines a tragedy of love and intriguing politics. Although set in Egypt centuries ago, theatergoers will experience the tension created by the forbidden love between a Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier betrothed to the Pharaoh's daughter.

Sir Elton John, one of the most successful music artists in the modern era, composed Aida's stirring music and the amazing Sir Tim Rice, who made his reputation writing hits like Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita, wrote the lyrics. To the delight of audiences, they combined their talents to create Aida, Disney Theatrical Productions' first Broadway musical for grown-ups.
