Some Enchanted Evening
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Concept by Jeffrey B. Moss
for Jerry Kravat Ent. Services
More so than any composer and lyricist who have written for the stage, the songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein have become an integral part of our everyday lives. We sing them in the shower, we dance to them in the ballrooms, we hear them on the radio and TV commercials and in elevators and supermarkets too. We still thrill to them on the live stage in their respective shows and we teach them to our children. This stunning collection of compositions place our talented performers in a theatrical setting where the songs are sung with their own style and sensibilities. This show offers the audience a glorious parade of genuine hits.

9 to 5 the musical
Music and Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Pushed to the boiling point by their boss, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. They conspire to take control of their company and learn there's nothing they can't do -- even in a man's world. Set in the late 1970s, 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is a hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic, 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is about teaming up and taking care of business.

Sweet Charity
Book by Neil Simon
Music by Cy Coleman
Lyrics by Dorothy Fields
Conceived, Staged and Choreographed by Bob Fosse
Have you ever known a girl who wanted something so badly, that she tried too hard to get it? Meet Charity, the girl who wants to be loved so much, that she has lost sight of who she is. Charity sings, dances, laughs and cries her way through romances. With songs like "If My Friends Could See Me Now," "Big Spender," "I'm a Brass Band," and "I Love to Cry at Weddings," this is sure to be a summer favorite.

Looking back at Summer 2012...
Preparations for Musicals at Richter's 29th season under the stars are already underway with auditions. We invite you to join us - whether it's onstage, behind the scenes or in the audience. There's lots of magic in store, from the lush and familiar songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein and the infectious score of Dolly Parton's "9 to 5," to the endearing characters and electrifying song-and-dance numbers in "Sweet Charity."
To add to the excitement, Richter's accomplished Fairy Tale Theater company returns for 15th season of theater by and for young people, presented on the grounds of Wooster School each Saturday morning in July. Capping off the season is a full-scale youth production of "Grease (School Version), performed by the incredibly talented students in our Summer Youth Musical Theater workshop
