Announcing the 2009-2010 Vanity Theater Season:
Sugar — Based on “Some Like It Hot” — September 25-27; October 2-4
Based on the film “Some Like It Hot,” Sugar chronicles the zany lives of two male musicians of the prohibition era who witness a gang slaying. Memorable musical numbers include Penniless Bums, The Beauty That Drives Men Mad, We Could Be Close, Beautiful Through and Through, and November Song.
Miracle on 34th Street — December 4-6 and 11-13
A small girl’s belief in Santa and the magic of the holiday are at stake in this hilarious, tender, and charming show for the entire family — a Christmas classic!
The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood — February 19-21 and 26-28
In this Sugar Creek Players Youth Production, Robin — in his never ending quest to aid the needy — encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress; an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather be bowling; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he’s in it or not.
Clare Boothe Luce’s social satire The Women is set in the world of high society wives in New York City during the height of the Great Depression.
Adapted from Alice in Wonderland, this fast-paced stage version features updated dialogue and new arrangements of Disney classics like I’m Late, The Un-Birthday Song, and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah.
West Side Story — July 30-August 1 and August 6-8
The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broadway musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is transported to modern-day New York City as two young, idealistic lovers find themselves caught between warring street gangs, the American “Jets” and Puerto Rican “Sharks.”
