My wifeand I fell in love with this show when we saw it in London’sWest End last year. We found this musical adaptation of ErichSegal’s best-selling novel beautifully transformed its delicatestory of pure love and heartache. During the performance wenoticed that couples in the audience were sitting a little closertogether remembering the time they fell in love. I knew at thatmoment I wanted to share it with each of you.Photo: Mark GarvinContinuing our ‘season of love,’ we’re looking forward to two more spectacular musicals, a classiccomedy and an award-winning play, and hope that you are too. Just in time for the holidays we’llhave one of the greatest family Broadway musicals of all time. Meredith Willson’s The MusicMan will parade its way into your heart with its irresistible classic tunes. Next is Oscar Wilde’switty story of romance, An Ideal Husband, followed by the Philadelphia premiere of Broadway’shit play Good People. Then get ready to stand up and shout “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bamboom”with the electrifyn’ musical extravaganza Grease.I’d also like to invite you to visit us upstairs in our cozy Independence Studio on 3.
