Thank you! We had an exciting 27th season under the stars at Musicals at Richter. We thank all the wonderful performers, musicians, tech crew and members of the artistic team for giving so much of their time and talents to each of the shows. Clearly, there is something magical that happens outdoors on our stage each summer and we wouldn't be able to do it without you.
And now we're getting ready for the 28th season! We have an amazing slate of shows in place for Summer 2012.
Opening the season will be Dan Goggin's cro
wd-pleasing Off-Broadway hit "NUNSENSE: The Mega-Musical," playing June 14 -30. A new twist on a perennial favorite, this new version features all the same high jinks of the beloved Little Sisters of Hoboken, plus five new characters, an expanded ensemble and supersized musical numbers. You'll see why NUNSENSE is truly habit-forming and laugh-inducing!
Next up, travel to the Scotland highlands for Lerner and Loewe's romantic tale "BRIGADOON," playing July 5 -21. With a compelling love story and a lush score featuring such beautiful songs as "The Heather on the Hill," "I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean," "Almost Like Being in Love," and "Come to Me, Bend to Me," you'll be ready for a captivating evening in the Scottish mists.
Wrapping up the summer July 26 - August 11 will be Adams and Strouse's "BYE BYE BIRDIE," the hit musical about rock 'n' roll and teen sensation Conrad Birdie and his electrifying effect on the population of Sweet Apple, Ohio. Be sure to don your pedal pushers and join us for hits like "Put On a Happy Face," "Kids," "One Last Kiss," and "The Telephone Hour."
THIS JUST IN FOR YOUNG ACTORS ages 9-17: Our Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop, now in its third year, will feature Disney's "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, JR." as its production. Click here for details on this outstanding educational and performance opportunity and an application
