Starring Tony and Emmy Award winning actress, Leslie Uggams, and filled with an incredible score by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, musical theatre lovers will be enthralled by the songs "Some People," "Rose's Turn," "Let Me Entertain You" and, of course, "Everything's Coming up Roses." It is no wonder that Gypsy has been called "one of the top contenders for the title of Best Musical Ever" by Terry Teachout in The Wall Street Journal.

December 1-10, 2016
by Georges Feydeu, Adapted by Nicki Frei and Peter Hall
We bring you this hilariously overstuffed turkey to celebrate the holidays! The supreme master of farce, Georges Feydeau, displays all his comic genius as a man lusts after his friend’s wife, which triggers a riotous revenge plot and a dizzying spell of side-splitting complications. When this translation opened at the Globe Theatre in 1993, The Daily Express observed, “The witty, highly risqué translation sets the tone for an evening of frenzied Bacchanalian exuberance… [that is] enough to make you weep with laughter.” CRT Behind the Scenes: LE DINDON, or AN ABSOLUTE TURKEY](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/juqj48fo598/mqdefault.jpg)
