SISTER ACT
PAPERMILL PLAYHOUSE
APRIL 1–APRIL 26, 2020
Based on the 1992 hit film, this feel-good musical comedy smash sizzles with powerful music, spectacular dancing, and a story brimming with heart. The madcap plot is set in motion when disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a murder and must go into hiding in a convent—where she clashes, hilariously, with cloistered life. Deloris inspires the sisters with her soulful style, but the church choir’s newfound fame attracts the attention of the bad guys. Featuring original music by Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Newsies, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors), the musical was nominated for five Tony Awards,
including Best Musical.
Music by ALAN MENKEN
Lyrics by GLENN SLATER
Book by CHERI STEINKELLNER & BILL STEINKELLNER
Additional Book Material by DOUGLAS CARTER BEANE
Based on the Touchstone Pictures Motion Picture Sister Act Written by JOSEPH HOWARD

THE MUSIC MAN
Music and Lyrics by MEREDITH WILLSON Book by MEREDITH WILLSON and FRANKLIN LACEY Directed by DAVID IVERS Choreography by JACLYN MILLER Music Direction by GREGG COFFIN Trouble’s comin’ … The irresistible musical tribute to the power of make-believe marches onto the ATC stages – and into your heart – with trumpets blaring next season! Meredith Willson’s six-time Tony Award®-winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957, regaling them with the story of Harold Hill – the double-shuffle, two-bit, thimble-rigger con artist who rolls into River City station one hot Iowa summer. Hill is intent on swindling the small-town simpletons by turning them against the new pool table at the local billiard hall – a problem that can, of course, only be solved by forming a boys’ band with a wagon full of horns supplied by the swindling salesman himself. Along the way, Hill must seduce the only person in River City smart enough to see through his scam – librarian and music teacher Marian Paroo. By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic, and touching, The Music Man is American musical theatre at its best. |
