You already were reaping the benefits of being a reader of the Wedgwood View — staying “in the know” about your neighborhood. Well, starting today being a reader also will save you money.
See the bottom of this post for how you can save on tickets in a special offer from Seattle Musical Theatre at Magnuson Park, which proudly is presenting the Northwest premiere of “110 in the Shade,” May 7 through 23.
Here’s what SMT says about the show:
This gem of a musical, based on the 1954 play “The Rainmaker” (and later the 1956 film that starred Katherine Hepburn and Burt Lancaster) is considered by many to be the finest work of Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, who wrote “The Fantasticks.”
The scene is July, 1936 in the drought-ridden community of Three Point, Texas. Languishing in the unrelenting heat, Lizzie Curry – too smart and too witty for her own good – ponders her future as an old maid. Her farther and brothers have tried to scare up some husband material, but the only likely prospect isn’t cooperating. Enter handsome Bill Starbuck, a charming con man who claims he can bring much needed relief — rain — within 24 hours. His arrival sets off a series of sizzling events.
Loaded with haunting music and lively dancing, “110 in the Shade” delivers a great evening of musical theatre. Tickets are $25-$35.
