Theatre Raleigh to Present VANITIES as Part of Hot Summer Nights Season, 5/14-25

First up for Theatre Raleigh as part of the Hot Summer Nights season is the unnervingly funny Vanities, The Musical, May 14th - 25th, 2014. Artistic Director, Lauren Kennedy and Managing Director, Michele Weathers have outdone themselves bringing this witty musical to theatre fans with their personal touch. Appropriate for ages 16+ (due to subject matter and language)

"I am so excited to be opening this 10th Anniversary season with Vanities! A show that is incredibly personal to me after having starred in the Off-Broadway Production. It has just been published through Samuel French, and we are the first theatre to license the show. We literally got the script and score HOT off the presses." said Lauren Kennedy, Artistic Director for Theatre Raleigh.
