Premiere of A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME Begins Previews Tonight at Bucks County Playhouse

Bucks County Playhouse is kicking off their 2016 season with a home-cooked premiere.

As BroadwayWorld previously reported, A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME, a musical centered around a Betty Crocker cooking contest, receives its official premiere at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope today. The show will run through February 21.

With book, music and lyrics by Debra Barsha and Hollye Levin, A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME will kick off the theatre season in a world premiere production that will begin previews today, January 30, and run through February 21. Barsha, the associate conductor of Broadway's "Jersey Boys," is a Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation Award Winner for her score to the Keith Haring musical, "Radiant Baby." Levin, a composer/lyricist with two gold records ("By Heart" with Jim Brickman and "Here in My Heart" with Jason Derlatka) is also well known for her book, music and lyrics for the stand-up comedy musical "Funny Business" which was work-shopped at the Kennedy Center and Mark Taper Forum and presented in a world-premiere production at Los Angeles' Coronet Theater. Lorin Latarro, Bucks County Playhouse Artistic Associate, will make her directorial debut as Director and Choreographer for the production. Casting will be announced soon.

A TASTE OF THINGS TO COME takes place in the 1950s when the world is quickly changing. Smack dab in the middle of America, in Winnetka, Illinois, four women enter a Betty Crocker cooking contest in the hopes of changing their lives. Little do these women know that it will take a zoologist from Indiana University, Alfred C. Kinsey, to really get them cooking! In an age when the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, they discover that the way to a woman's heart is through her best friends.
