Age Rating: Suitable for all ages.

Behind the Curtain! At TMP presentation: 7 pm, September 27, 2009

Curtains unfolds backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, where a new musical could be a Broadway smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady. When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lt. Frank Cioffi arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theater proves irresistible and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit as he is in solving the murder.

A TMP Staff favorite, Curtains is an original musical comedy with a book by Tony Award winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Say Goodnight Gracie), music and lyrics by the Tony Award- winning team of John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago, New York New York), and original book and concept by Tony Award winner Peter Stone (1776, Titanic, The Will Rogers Follies).

Age Rating: Suitable for all ages.

Behind the Curtain! At TMP presentation: 7 pm, November 22, 2009

Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this oddball romantic comedy soars with the spirit of Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends in the canon: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.

Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical based loosely on Puccini's opera La Bohème.

AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.

Flower Drum Song


Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book by David Henry Hwang

Based on the original book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joseph Field, and the novel by C.Y. Lee.

April 16-May 9, 2010
Age Rating: Suitable for all ages.

Behind the Curtain! At TMP presentation: 7 pm, April 11, 2010

“To create something new, we must first love what is old," claims Mei-Li in Tony Award-winner David Henry Hwang's new adaptation of this Rodgers and Hammerstein jewel. The sentiment is obviously shared by the author himself, who has created something dazzlingly new while honoring the original material.

Mei-Li flees Mao's communist China after the murder of her father and finds herself in San Francisco's Chinatown. This naïve young refugee is befriended by Wang, who is struggling to keep the Chinese opera tradition alive despite his son's determination to turn the old opera house into a swingin' Western-style nightclub. A unique blending of American razz-ma-tazz and stylized Chinese opera traditions creates a beautifully theatrical tapestry. The wonderful score, both lushly romantic and showbiz-brassy, retains all of its luster in this lovely new version of an American classic.
