Perhaps the most popular musical of the 1950s, My Fair Lady enjoyed a Broadway run of over nine years—the longest running musical of its time and a classic ever more. Based on Shaw's play "Pygmalion," with music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe (Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, Camelot), My Fair Lady introduces us to Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower seller. On a dare, professor Henry Higgins agrees to "pass her off as a duchess" by teaching her "proper" speech an manners. With a score that includes “Wouldn't It Be Loverly”, “With a Little Bit of Luck”, “The Rain in Spain”, “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “On the Street Where You Live”, “Get Me to the Church on Time" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face”, it's no wonder Eliza's transformation and this show are triumphant.

A corkscrew comedy of a whodunit. The twists come fast as gunshots! A successful mystery writer and his jealous actress ex-wife try to kill each other off (for perfectly good reasons of their own). To solve the crime, razor-sharp timing must be employed, as well as the calculated appearances of the author’s attractive young secretary, his befuddled publisher and a....

In this gleefully gruesome musical, Seymour Krelbourn, a meek florist, makes a pact with a tiny plant in order to win the heart of Audrey, the girl he loves. The mysterious plant, however, needs blood to survive, and by the end of the show, practically all the characters have been devoured. One of the most successful Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a successful film version and a rock-n-roll/doo-wop score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin) including “Somewhere That’s Green,” “Dentist” and “Suddenly Seymour.” DON’T FEED THE PLANT!

Before Dustin Hoffman played Tootsie, Some Like It Hot, and years before Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, there was Charley’s Aunt. Jack & Charley, undergraduates at Oxford University, want to date the lovely Kitty & Amy. Of course a chaperone is required and Charley’s aunt, Donna Lucia, has consented. When she is detained, the boys panic—then coerce their roommate into impersonating Charley’s aunt. The fun really begins when Jack’s Dad and Amy’s Uncle romantically pursue the bogus aunt. When Charley’s REAL aunt finally arrives, the comedy becomes legend. There’s a reason that a 117 year old play still packs the house. Charley’s Aunt is very, very funny. You will laugh so much it hurts.

A tiny 5th floor apartment is the setting for marital fireworks between young Paul, a buttoned-down lawyer, and Corie, his free-spirited wife of six days. The conflict begins when Corie kicks Paul out on the street because he won’t go walking with her “barefoot in the park.” It’s a joyous celebration of being newlywed in the 1960’s—when you were expected to get married and THEN live together. The inspiration for many modern romantic comedies, Barefoot in the Park is full of the laughter we expect from Neil Simon, one of the most performed playwrights in the world.

Hilarious. The play accomplishes the small miracle of making all Christmas stories seem both utterly ridiculous and absolutely essential. Instead of performing Charles Dickens beloved classic A Christmas Carol for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told and sing every carol ever sung. When they launch into the story of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, however, we learn that Rudolph is still protected by copyright, so we are treated to a “non-indictable” tale of Gustav the Green-Nosed Rein-Goat, who teams up with a misfit elf who wants to become a dentist. The Grinch is there and Frosty the Snowman, too. Mary and Joseph make a brief appearance in an unexpected quiet moment that is surprisingly touching. It may not be miraculous, but Every Christmas Story Ever Told is agreeably corny, energetic, high-spirited fun. The perfect family-friendly holiday diversion.
