THE 39 STEPSJUNE 29 - JULY 10, 2010
A Broadway smash with a Hitchcockian twist
Adapted by Patrick Barlow
Hold on tight: Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film comes to the stage in Broadway’s longest-running, unbelievably inventive comedy thriller.
Winner of London’s prestigious Olivier Award, it’s a murder mystery, manhunt and hilarious jaunt all rolled into one inspired night of theatre.
Four actors play hundreds of roles in a tour de force that includes a train chase, a plane crash and an ill-fated romance. This is theatre that must be seen to be believed.
JULY 15 - JULY 31
AVENUE Q
The little musical that could!
By Robert Lopez, Jeff Marx & Jeff Whitty
This one did the impossible: besting Wicked to win the Tony Award® for Best Musical. And now, it’s coming to Weston to woo you with its kinda racy, totally raucous tale of a bright-eyed college student named Princeton and his neighborhood of new friends.
A modern-day Sesame Street for grown-ups, this inspired show has a slew of laugh-out-loud songs, puppets with a dirty side and an attitude that’s nothing short of original. Recommended for audiences 14+.
DAMN YANKEES
A home-run musical!
By George Abbott & Douglass Wallop, Richard Adler & Jerry Ross
AUGUST 5 - AUGUST 21, 2010
Nothing says summer fun like baseball. And Damn Yankees takes you out to the ballpark in true Broadway style. In this classic musical from the creators of The Pajama Game, middle-aged Joe Boyd sells himself to the devil and to the machinations of a temptress named Lola in order to see his favorite team win the pennant.
A sure-fire winner the whole family will love, this perennial favorite includes such stellar songs as Heart and Whatever Lola Wants.
DEATH OF A SALESMAN
The Arthur Miller classic like never before
By Arthur Miller
Starring Christopher Lloyd
AUGUST 26 - SEPTEMBER 5, 2010
It’s a starry, late-summer event that’s certain to be talked about for years. Christopher Lloyd (the three-time Emmy Award®-winning star of Taxi and Back to the Future) returns to Weston as Willy Loman.
Arthur Miller’s timeless Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning play is the powerful, heartbreaking story of a traveling salesman fighting changing times while struggling for one last chance to capture the American Dream for his family.
