Music Theatre of Denton 2008-2009
AIDA (October 1-12 & 17-19, 2008) Book by Linda Wollverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang, Music by Elton John, Lyrics by Tim Rice
A fresh take on one of classical oper's grandest tales; Aida's story offers passion and intrigue amidst cultural clashes of ancient Egypt and today! Ultimately, love transcends bitter divisions between nations and results in a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. The eclectic score features pop-rock ballads and tremendous chorus numbers by music icon, Sir Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice. AIDA won 5 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score.
Auditions: Aug 11 & 12, 2008, 7:00pm (Center for the Visual Arts)
COMPANY (February 20-22, 27,28 & March 1, 2009) Book by George Furth, Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, "Company" was the first to tell a story using a series of episodes in place of a linear plot. Five couples and their mutual bachelor friend, Robert, sing their way through various stages of commitment. From the bachelor's perspective, committing to another person is tempting but terrifying. Sondheim's music stays with you even after you leave the theatre. His songs offer beautiful melodies that tear at your composure and clever lyrics that are often poignant and always insightful.
Auditions: Dec 15 &16, 2008, 7:00pm (Center for the Visual Arts)
CRAZY FOR YOU (May 1-3 & 8-10, 2009) Book by Ken Ludwig, Music by George Gershwin, Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
This is the "perfect" musical comedy - one where everybody sings, everybody dances and where anything on hand is used to make music. Adapted from the Gershwin 1930's musical, Girl Crazy, the new version includes high energy characters, outrageously funny humor and one of the best musical scores of the century - who could ask for anything more? CRAZY FOR YOU uses seven great tunes from Girl Crazy including "Bidin' My Time," "Embraceable You," "I Got Rhythm," and "But Not for Me" and thirteen additional songs from other Gershwin works. One of Broadway's greatest hits, CRAZY FOR YOU was awarded 3 Tonys.
Auditions: Feb. 23 & 24, 2009, 7:00pm (Center for the Visual Arts)
