Adapted from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
Lakewood Theatre Company's Lost Treasures Collection continues its 11th season with A Connecticut Yankee. This rarely performed musical created in 1927, revised in 1943 and again in 2001, features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, and a book by Herbert Fields. The musical is based on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain.
Rodgers & Hart's Babes in Arms, with a fresh, witty and relevant script by acclaimed playwright, Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane, is the quintessential 'Hey, kids, let's put on a show' musical.
On Friday, elusive New York City jazz group Onyx Collective returns with the release of their new single. 'My Funny Valentine' features Nick Hakim and is a reimagining of the song originally written for Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's 1937 musical Babes in Arms.

With the release Onyx Collective becomes one of the many significant artists to cover the song, including Hal McIntyre and Ruth Gaylor, Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, Lee Wiley, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, The Supremes, Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, Chris Botti and Sting, and Chaka Khan.
