About the Musicals

Music Theatre - Summer Stage presents “Sondheim on Sondheim”

Using exclusive interview footage, audiences get an inside look at famed composer Stephen Sondheim’s artistic process and personal life, including his childhood, his relationship with mentor Oscar Hammerstein and stories of personal demons and professional triumphs. An energetic ensemble of the Green Bay area's best will perform brand-new arrangements of over two dozen Sondheim tunes, ranging from the beloved to the obscure. Music and lyrics for “Sondheim on Sondheim” are written by Stephen Sondheim, and the show was conceived and directed on Broadway by James Lapine. “Sondheim on Sondheim” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

Music Theatre - Next Stage presents “Anastasia: The Musical”

This romantic and adventure-filled musical transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family. “Anastasia: The Musical” was written by Terrence McNally with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens. It is inspired by the Twentieth Century Fox Motion Pictures film through special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical from the play by Marcelle Maurette, as adapted by Guy Bolton.

“Anastasia: The Musical” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
