Ain’t Misbehavin’
February 17 – March 4, 2012

Music by Thomas “Fats” Waller – Ain’t Misbehavin’, a Tony Award-winning celebration of the music of Thomas “Fats” Waller. An ensemble of energetic and irresistible performers and the hottest jazz band in town will bring down the house with a musical parade of thirty of Waller’s greatest hits. A joyously creative songwriter of the 1920s and 30s, Fats Waller penned over 400 songs in his career – many of which have entered the classic repertoire of jazz standards that are still being performed today. Ain’t Misbehavin’ pays tribute to his legacy and music, and includes the ever popular songs: “The Jitterbug Waltz,” “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” “‘T’Ain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Find Out What They Like,” and “Your Feets Too Big.”

In their travels, Clara meets and falls for a young Florentine boy, who is ardent in his pursuit of her. As the young couple’s love blossoms, Margaret is faced with a difficult choice: should she reveal a truth that could destroy her daughter’s happiness; or say nothing and let fate run its course?

Gypsy
June 15 – July 1, 2012


Music by Jule Styne; Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim; Book by Arthur Laurents – From the first trumpet blast of its legendary Overture to the last white-hot spotlight, Gypsy is considered by many to be the greatest American musical ever. Gypsy is loosely based on the 1957 memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous striptease artist. The story focuses on her mother, Momma Rose, whose name has become synonymous with “the ultimate show business mother.” Gypsy follows the dreams and efforts of Rose to raise two daughters to perform onstage and casts an affectionate eye on the hardships of show business life. The musical contains many songs that became popular standards, including “Small World,” Everything’s Coming up Roses, “Some People,” and “Let Me Entertain You.”

July 27 – August 12, 2012
*This show is not part of the season subscription package.


The hilarious MGM film and Broadway smash hit LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL is making it’s local premiere on The Lyric stage! LEGALLY BLONDE follows sorority star Elle Woods, an underestimated blonde who doesn’t take “no” for an answer. When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle puts down the credit card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta Nu has gone before: Harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true to yourself never goes out of style. After turning Broadway and MTV hot pink, this “Feel-Good Song and Dance Juggernaut” (New York Magazine) is “The Best New Musical Around!” (WOR).
