Program Note

STAGE STRUCK is an immersive dive into four of musical theater’s best-loved shows. We start at the top, work our way through highs and lows, and end with a grand finale! Little Shop of Horrors:  The Urchins introduce the residents of Skid Row. Carousel:  After a “real nice clambake,” personal relationships crash on the rocks. The 25th Annual Putnum County Spelling Bee:  three spellers remain! Legally Blonde:  Defying the odds, Elle takes back Harvard Law School.
