Company at the Kennedy Center Bus Trip
Join the Milton Theatre on this All-Inclusive Trip to the Kennedy Center to see Company. About Company at the Kennedy Center Website | Video Phone rings, door chimes, in comes company. Winner of five Tony® Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, COMPANY “strikes like a lightning bolt. It’s brilliantly conceived and funny as hell” (Variety). Helmed by three-time Tony®-winning director Marianne Elliott (War Horse, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Angels in America), this revelatory new production of Stephen Sondheim and George Furth’s groundbreaking musical comedy is at once boldly sophisticated, deeply insightful, and downright hilarious. It’s Bobbie’s 35th birthday party, and all her friends keep asking, why isn’t she married? Why can’t she find the right man, and isn’t it time to settle down and start a family? As Bobbie searches for answers, she discovers why being single, being married, and being alive in the 21st century could drive a person crazy. COMPANY features Sondheim’s award-winning songs “You Could Drive a Person Crazy,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” “Side by Side by Side,” and the iconic “Being Alive.” Let’s all drink to that!

An homage to the science fiction B-movie genre, The Rocky Horror Show tells the tale of the squeaky clean Brad and Janet and their unwitting foray into the sultry world of Dr. Frank N. Furter, the mad scientist with a killer set of heels. This isn’t any ordinary night in the castle though—it’s the unveiling of Frank’s latest and greatest creation. The action will explode off the stage at this rock n’ roll party as Brad and Janet are introduced to Rocky, a slew of Transylvanians, and of course, the Time Warp. And even our illustrious audience will be some of the featured guests at this not-to-be-missed soiree! The Rocky Horror Show Book, Music and Lyrics by Richard O’BrienThe original London production of The Rocky Horrow Show, directed by Jim Sharman, premiered at the Royal Court Theatre on 19 June 1973 and won the 1973 Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical. Later transferring to several other locations in London, the show ran for a total of 2,960 performances. On March 10, 1975, The Rocky Horrow Show opened on Broadway at the Belasco Theatre, starring Tim Curry and featuring Meatloaf and “Ritz” O’Brien. In 2001, the show returned to Broadway at Circle in the Square Theatre, starring Raúl Esparza, Tom Hewitt, Alice Ripley and Jarrod Emick. Directed by Christopher Ashley, the revival ran for 437 performances.In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”Fran-N-Furter and his motley crew did the “Time Warp” on Broadway in a 25th anniversary revival. Complete with sass from the audience, cascading toilet paper, and an array of other audience participation props, this deliberately kitschy rock ‘n’ roll sci-fi gothic musical is more fun than ever.THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
