HEAR MORE FROM BOB ON THE REP'S 35TH SEASON:

THE MAINSTAGE SEASON

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice
Evita
September 10 – October 3, 2010
Rep audiences will again enjoy the ever-popular combination of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music and Tim Rice’s lyrics with Evita, the timeless rags-to-riches, Tony award-winning story that continues to fascinate audiences worldwide. A modern musical classic of sweeping grandeur and romantic passion, Evita provides a biography of the fascinating Argentine political leader Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentinean president Juan Perón who rose from obscurity to political power and was eventually considered the spiritual leader of the country.

William Shakespeare
Hamlet
October 29 – November 14, 2010
An unrequited ghost, an indecisive prince, a kingdom in chaos: something is rotten in the state of Denmark. William Shakespeare’s dark tale of power and lust, murder and vengeance is regarded by many as the most influential work ever written for the stage. Hamlet never fails to enthrall and enlighten audiences with its riveting portrayal of a man surrounded by many, but who ultimately remained alone.

Philip Grecian
A Christmas Story
December 3 – December 26, 2010
The classic, heart-warming family movie comes to life as one of America’s most popular holiday shows! With a script adapted by Philip Grecian, A Christmas Story unforgettably captures the essence of holiday wonder with a deliciously wicked wit and a nostalgic eye in Jean Shepherd’s glorious celebration of growing up in late-1930s small-town Indiana. All the favorites are here, including a “Major Award” leg-shaped lamp, a yellow-eyed bully, a frozen flagpole, Little Orphan Annie’s thrilling radio exploits and a delightfully funny Chinese Christmas dinner.

Lorraine Hansberry
A Raisin in the Sun
January 21 – February 6, 2011
The New York Times called it “…A play that changed American theater forever.” The Washington Post said it was “…One of a handful of great American plays.” A Raisin in the Sun is an award-winning drama that tells the story of an African American family living on Chicago's south side in the 1950s. Audiences won’t want to miss this vital and hopeful portrait of one family’s search for the American dream.

Young Artists’ Performance
Review the Revue
March 1 – March 12, 2011
Rep audiences will enjoy our Young Artists’ Production of Review the Revue, a celebration of the first five years of The Rep’s young artist theatre training program. Reminiscing favorite memories and musical numbers from Hollywood and Broadway on Main, Sing, Dance, Repeat, If You Sing It, They Will Come and Follie Holidays, the most talented young artists in the state always deliver some of the most feel good shows of the season. Conceived and directed by The Rep's Associate Artist and Director of Education Nicole Capri, this is a show the whole family will love. This is a $15 add-on ticket for series subscribers; Flexpass holders may use their passes for this show

Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan
Hairspray
April 8 – May 8, 2011
It's 1962, and pleasantly plump Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad has only one desire: to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to dancing queen…but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning Teen Queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network - all without denting her 'do! Winner of 8 Tony Awards (including Best Musical), Hairspray is a joyous tribute to an era past, and an intelligent, warm, and joyous musical comedy that absolutely should not be missed.

Patrick Barlow
The 39 Steps
June 10 – June 26, 2011
Take an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece, combine it with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit wrapping up The Rep’s 35th season. This two time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a very busy cast of four), and all the action from the 1935 Hitchcock film, including a chase atop a Flying Scotsman train, a bi-plane crash and a death-defying finale in London’s Palladium theatre. Buckle up and strap in for a ride you’ll never forget.
