Musicals Tonight Presents STOP THE WORLD I WANT TO GET OFF 4/13-25

Stop the World - I Want to Get Off is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley (his first musical). It opened at the Queen's Theatre (London), and ran for 478 performances. The New York production - produced by David Merrick - opened on October 3, 1962, at the Shubert Theater, where it ran for 555 performances. Anthony Newley starred in and directed both productions.

Set against the backdrop of a surreal world symbolized by a circus, it focuses on "an everyman" - Littlechap (Matt Wilson) - whose first major step towards improving his lot is to marry Evie (Stephanie Sine), his boss' daughter. The traditional responsibilities of work-home-family that includes two daughters (Lauren Ruff and Sara Sawyer), results in a growing dissatisfaction with his "lot in life" and leads him into the arms of three women who offer the promise of "something more" (all portrayed by Stephanie Sine). His life-long search for that "something more" ends with the realization that the love of his wife has always been the "something more" he thought was eluding him. A "Greek chorus" (Kate Campbell, Amy Jackson, Mary Catherine McDonald, and Kristin Katherine Shields) help guide us on Littlechap's journey.

Life Imitating Art Dept - Matt Wilson and Stephanie Sine are husband and wife. Songs include: Gonna Build a Mountain; What Kind of Fool Am I?; Typically English. Director: Thomas Sabella-Mills Music Director: James Stenborg
