Rocky Mountain Repertory Theatre's
2010 Season
Music by Richard Rodgers, Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
One of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most dramatic and spectacular shows with some of the greatest songs ever written—“If I Loved You”, “You’ll Never Walk Alone”—wrapped in a dramatic, lush, romantic, inspirational story. Set on the New England coast in the 1870s, the story centers on Billy Bigelow, a rough barker for a carousel, and Julie Jordan, a young girl who works at the local mill. The story follows the two lovers through their life, with some difficult turns, to an inspirational, dramatic, romantic conclusion filled with themes of redemption and love.
Music & Lyrics by William Finn
A Tony Award-winning new musical comedy, this hilarious tale of overachiever's angst chronicles the experiences of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling bee championship. Overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, the contestants learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. It is a tuneful, charming, fast-moving show that has enjoyed enormous popularity around the country. Audiences must also sharpen their spelling skills when four volunteer spelling contestants join the competition each night.
