Shakespeare Theatre Company – 07/08 season

I happened to pick up a small leaflet-sized brochure that had the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s 2007-2008 schedule on it and thought it would be nice to share:

“My Fair Lady” comes to the Kennedy Center, Dec. 27 – Jan 20

Direct from its 50th anniversary London production and UK national tour, Lerner & Loewe’s legendary musical My Fair Lady comes to Washington to thrill new audiences and old friends!

Winner of 5 Olivier Awards in 2002 including Outstanding Musical Performance, My Fair Lady is set to raise the curtain on December 27 for fans of this great musical. You can check out one of two daily shows taking place at the Kennedy Center…either at 1:30pm or 7:30pm and they run every day except for Mondays. Ticket are already on sale and cost $36-95, but on New Year’s Eve, be prepared to shell out $60-150.

What’s this wonderful musical about? Click here to read a Wikipedia synopsis of the show, but the plot is a guy trying to get a girl “trained” so that he can pass her off as a proper lady as part of a bet. Standard romance-ish type plot line with complications throughout the performance.

Spamalot returns to DC on Dec. 11
