East meets
West head-on in this hilarious 1940's-style updating
of the perennial Gilbert and
Sullivan classic. With the music transmuted into blues,
Cab Calloway swing, hot gospel, scorching torch songs
and 'Three Little Maids' turned into an Andrew Sisters'
show-stopper, this zoot-suited, tap-dancing colourful
show is certain to provide the ideal evening out for
the whole family.

A
haunting and hallucinatory drama about the making
of art, INVENTING VAN GOGH
is the story of the final Van Gogh self-portrait,
painted just before the artist’s death, which
has never been seen…until now. Patrick Stone,
a contemporary painter, is hired to forge this final
masterpiece—and finds himself squaring off,
across the years, with Van Gogh himself. The result
is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create
and the fine line that separates truth from myth.

Adapted from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young
Girl, edited by Otto Frank. Winner of the 1956
Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, Critics Circle Award,
and virtually every other coveted prize of the theatre.
Very few plays have moved the Broadway critics to
write such glowing notices, receiving the unanimous
acclaim of all the top New York reviewers. The NY
Times, said, “A lovely tender drama…Strange
how the shining spirit of a young girl now dead
can filter down through the years and inspire a
group of theatrical professionals in a foreign land.”
The NY Herald-Tribune said, “Frances Goodrich
and Albert Hackett have fashioned a wonderfully
sensitive and theatrically craftsmanlike narrative
out of the real-life legacy left us by a spirited
and straightforward Jewish girl…as bright
and shining as a banner.” The NY Daily News
said, “There is so much beauty, warm humor,
gentle pity…in THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
that it is difficult to imagine how this play could
be contained in one set on one stage…this
is a fine drama.”

Based
on the novel by Ernest Lehman and the MGM/United Artists
motion picture. It’s New York, 1952. Welcome to Broadway,
the glamour and power capital of the universe. JJ Hunsecker
rules it all with his daily gossip column in the New York
Globe, syndicated to sixty million readers across America.
JJ has the goods on everyone, from the President to the
latest starlet. And everyone feeds JJ scandal, from J. Edgar
Hoover and Senator Joe McCarthy down to a battalion of hungry
press agents who attach their news to a client that JJ might
plug. You can become no one if JJ turns on you. “John
Guare has bravely gone beyond slavish adaptation while retaining
many of the Hunseckerisms that fans of the film love to
quote.” - Curtain Up. 2002 Drama Desk Award Nominee
- Outstanding Musical, 2002 Tony Award Nomination - Best
Book of a Musical
