Looking for something to do tonight? Go see a Broadway musical!
Mt Washington Valley offers more than just shopping and outdoor sports! For those looking for a little culture during their stay, we recommend a visit to one of the delightful Mt Washington Valley Theatre Company productions at the Eastern Slope Playhouse. This year fifty talented performers, directors, designers and technicians have come to the Valley from all over the country. They are working harder than you can imagine to make this season a dazzler! See the lineup below.
SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN | JULY 13 – JULY 24
After many requests, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN comes to our stage for the very first time. The Broadway version of the popular song and dance film, starring Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds, takes us back to the early days of motion pictures when silent films make way for “talkies” and the stars can’t just look good…they need to sound good! You’ll be amazed at how many familiar songs are in the show: “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Lucky Star”, “You Were Meant for Me”, “Good Morning”…& more. Love toe tappers? This is your show! Also rated G…and lot’s of fun.
THE FULL MONTY | JULY 27 – AUGUST 14
THE FULL MONTY is one of our all time favorites. The story of six out of work, and out of shape, steel workers, who decide to put on a strip show to make money and earn back their manhood, is poignant, funny, and the bare-it-all ending…well,you’ll have to come and see! Plan now for “Girls Night Out!” Though guys will like it, too! And the music? Numbers such as “It’s a Women’s World” and “Man” are show stoppers…but there are beautiful ballads, too, like “You Rule My World” and “You Walk with Me”. THE FULL MONTY is rated Rx (good for what ails you!)
HAIR | AUGUST 17 – AUGUST 29
One of the most talked about shows ever on Broadway is even sassier, fresher and more relevant today. HAIR brings the 60s back to life with all its exuberance. In their search for meaning, for love, for a tribe…the flower children demonstrate against the establishment, against hypocrisy. A little bit wild (even shocking), and lots of fun, you’ll join the “be-in” and sing “Let the sun Shine In”, “Aquarius” and “Hair”. Yes, it’s rated Rxx (R double X!) A tonic, for sure…but not for children or those sensitive to language and scanty dress.
