based on the play Der Besuch der alten Dame (The Visit) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt
Claire was driven from her hometown in disgrace when she was 17, betrayed by her lover. Many years (and seven husbands) later, she returns (beautifully dressed, but with a wooden leg) to her now-impoverished stomping grounds and offers to save the town. The price? Nothing less than the life of Schell.
The show broke countless box office records and won every theatre award imaginable, including 12 Tonys in 2001, more than any production in history. It began as a movie, made its way to Broadway, and then found itself back on the silver screen. Now, the smash-hit musical comedy The Producers comes to the Frederick stage for the very first time!
REVIEW: When you sit down to watch the year-old national tour of LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL (now playing at the Orange County Performing Arts Center through September 28), you will find a wildly entertaining piece of theater, that not only brings a 'right now' vibe to the Broadway musical, it also provides two-and-a-half solid hours of infectious smiles, crowd-pleasing dance numbers, and a clever, memorable, smart-aleck score. The show is brought to life by an athletically-gifted, aesthetically-pleasing ensemble that's giddy from ear to ear.
