Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Lyrics by Tim Rice December 4, 2009 – January 3, 2010 Take a rainbow ride through biblical Egypt on the wings of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s uplifting music and the humor and poetry of lyricist Tim Rice. This colorful retelling of the biblical story of Joseph, his uncanny abilities and his designer coat sings out to young and old alike with a score which is wall to wall hits, including “Close Every Door” and “Any Dream Will Do.” One of the biggest family hits at The Rep in the last decade, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat makes its triumphant return for Christmas this year to delight Rep audiences with music, sound and spectacle!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof By Tennessee Williams February 5 - February 21, 2010 Cat on a Hot Tin Roof focuses on wife and husband, Maggie "The Cat" and Brick Pollitt, and their interaction with Brick's family over the course of one evening gathering at the family estate in Mississippi. Brimming with Tennessee Williams’ trademark emotional intensity and insightful wit, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is an American treasure, full of themes such as the emerging power of women and the mendacity of the powerful that are more pertinent today than ever before.

Glorious! By Peter Quilter March 12 - March 28, 2010 Nominated for the 2006 Laurence Olivier Award as Best New Comedy and written by Peter Quilter, Glorious! is based on the true life story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the legendary New York heiress and socialite who wanted to be a great operatic diva despite having one of the worst singing voices in history. Florence's money, charm and unstoppable willpower lead all the way to a crowning moment in Carnegie Hall. This new play is laugh-out-loud funny!

Frost/Nixon By Peter Morgan April 23 - May 9, 2010 The regional premiere of the smartly-crafted and riveting 2007 Tony Award-nominated play, Frost/Nixon showcases the determination, conviction and cunning of two men as they square off in one of the most monumental television interviews of all time. Profoundly evocative and vibrantly written by Peter Morgan, Frost/Nixon is an exhilarating, intellectual David and Goliath battle of wits as Frost attempts to “give Nixon the trial he never had.”
