A recent Broadway Revival, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, stands the test of
time and continues to entertain, inspire and move audiences today as
much as its debut in 1974. The New York revival won the 2001 Outer
Critics' Circle Award for Outstanding Revival and the 2001 Tony Award
for Outstanding Revival of a play.

Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller
Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.
The Outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of
1930's Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping
revue that is still considered one of Broadway's very best.

Additional Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim & John Latouche
Featuring a legendary score by Leonard Berstein, Candide is perhaps the
most often revived of the classic cult musicals. Part sophisticated
operetta, part wacky screwball comedy with shades on Monty Python,
this funny, irreverent satire is the perfect musical expression of
Voltaire's tongue-in-cheek send-up of optimistic philosophies. Through
it all, Candide remembers the lesson of his dear master Dr.
Pangloss: that "everything is for the best in this best of all
possible worlds."

Winner of two Obie
Awards and two Outer Critics' Circle Awards, The Foreigner will "bring
down the house with laughter!" Based on what the NY Post describes as
a "devilishly clever idea," the play demonstrates what can happen when
a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they
think) knows no English. Our audiences will enjoy the nonstop hilarity
of the play, and enjoy the wildly funny climax in which things go
uproariously awry for the "bad guys" while the "good guys" emerge
triumphant.
