LEND ME A
TENOR
January
18 - April 5, 2008
Chaos reigns
offstage and on in this Tony Award-winning comedy. The Cleveland Opera
Company has hired the world-famous tenor Tito Merelli to open their season
with a performance of Verdi’s Otello. Shortly before the curtain goes
up, Tito is discovered passed out cold from taking too many tranquilizers.
The company manager scrambles to make sure the show, as always, goes on. But
who will perform? Will the audience notice? This proven crowd-pleasing farce
fills the theatre with mistaken identities, romantic intrigue, a cascade of
slamming doors, and enough laughter to have you “singing” its praises.

THE SOUND
OF MUSIC
April 18
- June 29, 2008
The
final collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein was
destined to become the world's most beloved musical and this summer, the von
Trapp family returns to WOB. In this heartwarming story, when a postulant
proves too high-spirited for the religious life, she is dispatched to serve
as governess for the seven children of a widowed naval Captain. Her growing
rapport with the youngsters, coupled with her generosity of spirit,
gradually captures the heart of the stern Captain, leading to one of the
most inspirational and endearing musical theatre endings of all time.

THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
September 5 - November 8, 2008
Thoroughly Modern Millie
is a high-spirited musical romp that took Broadway by storm! Taking place in
New York City in 1922, Millie tells the story of Millie Dillmount,
who just moved to the city in search of a new life. It’s a New York full of
intrigue and jazz - a time when women were entering the workforce and the
rules of love and social behavior were changing forever. Based on the
popular movie, this show is filled with frisky flappers, dashing leading
men, and a dragon-lady of a villainess. It’s one that will leave you dancing
in the aisles.

A
CHRISTMAS TIME OF YEAR
November 21, 2008 - January 3, 2009
No theatrical season is complete without a show that celebrates the
holidays. And there is no better place to celebrate the holidays then right
here at Way Off Broadway with family and friends. This year’s show features
songs from Christmases past and present. With lots of laughs, heartwarming
moments, and remembering the true meaning of Christmas, this is the
feel-good show of the season. A show for the entire family, this is one that
should not be missed.
