Carine writes to us about the Northwest premiere of the play:
This gem of a musical, based on the 1954 play The Rainmaker (and later the 1956 film that starred Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster) is considered by many to be the finest work of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, who wrote The Fantasticks.
The scene is July, 1936 in the drought-ridden community of Three Point, Texas. Languishing in the unrelenting heat, Lizzie Curry - too smart and too witty for her own good - ponders her future as an old maid. Her farther and brothers have tried to scare up some husband material, but the only likely prospect isn't cooperating. Enter handsome Bill Starbuck, a charming con man who claims he can bring much needed relief - rain - within 24 hours. His arrival sets off a series of sizzling events.
Loaded with haunting music and lively dancing, 110 in the Shade delivers a great evening of musical theatre.
As we mentioned in a previous post, Seattle Musical Theatre (formerly known as Civic Light Opera) is in its 32nd season. They performed at Jane Addams School for 25 years and have been at Magnuson for the last 5 years.
They are the only large theatre in Seattle's northeast neighborhood and the only one in Seattle to produce only musicals.
Dan, the production manager said, "We hire local designers, actors and crew and operate on a budget funded by ticket sales and donations. We need our neighbor's support!"
The production runs through May 23rd.
The theatre is conveniently located at the old Navy brig at 7400 Sand Point Way.
