The 2005 Fantastic Season of Blockbuster Shows Steel Magnolias - (January 7 - 30, 2005) Robert Harling's comedic/dramatic tale of a group of women who cry and laugh through life's hardships and triumphs. Set in a beauty parlor in Louisiana, Steel Magnolias follows how the lives of six women interweave via the small town gossip that shadows the sweep of the birth, marriage, and death cycle. - Seussical
, The Musical - (February 11 - March 6, 2005) Culled from the many literary works of Theodor Seuss Geisel, known to most as Dr. Seuss, "Seussical" tells the wacky tale of an elephant who discovers a planet on a speck of dust, of a bird who grows a tail so long she can't fly and of a kid who dares to dream. And it is a joy both for children and the adults who dare to envy their childhoods. Created by composer Stephen Flaherty and writer Lynn Ahrens - who also wrote "Once on This Island" and the score for "Ragtime" - the show boasts an exciting soundtrack with a story that cleverly combines many of the good Dr.’s finest themes. Pirates of Penzance - (May 6 -29, 2005) Pirates is the story of Fredrick, a young man who was accidentally apprenticed to a band of pirates. He falls in love with a Major General's ward and tries to atone for his past by plotting the destruction of his former comrades. When it turns out the soft-hearted pirates are really "noblemen who have gone wrong," they and a relieved Frederick marry the multitudinous wards of the rather "modern Major General." On December 10, 1879, Sullivan wrote a letter to his mother about the new opera, upon which he was hard at work in New York. "I think it will be a great success, for it is exquisitely funny, and the music is strikingly tuneful and catching." True enough! The Pirates of Penzance was an immediate hit and Gilbert and Sullivan's classic takes its place today as one of the most popular and enduring works of musical theater. - The
Music Man - (July 1 - 24, 2005) The Music Man is the story of a phony traveling salesman who's plans to flim-flam an Iowa town in 1912 are thwarted by his love for the town librarian. The score is a disarming potpourri of period styles including the Sousa-style march "Seventy-Six Trombones," the preacher-like exhortation "Trouble," several barbershop quartets and the shamelessly romantic "Till There Was You." The book captures a time of innocence with humor, charm, and sentimentality. The Music Man remains one of the world's most popular musicals, an all-American explosion of hokum and heart. Grease - (September 2 - 25, 2005) Grease is the word. Since breaking out on Broadway in 1972, Grease's place has been firmly established in the cultural hall of fame. It has seduced the hearts of millions with its back to back sizzling tunes. Grease proved that a love story musical that is bursting with denim, leather, fast cars, slick hairstyles, and raging teen hormones is timeless. Take a blast from the past with Danny Zuko, Rizzo, Knickey, and Frenchy in the musical that idolizes the fifties. This musical features all your favorite songs including Summer Lovin', Hand Jive, and Greased Lightning. "NOTHING AND NO-ONE WILL STOP THIS WHIM-WHAM SHOW ROLLERCOASTING TO A SMASH HIT." - Daily Mail - Victor
/Victoria - (October 21 - November 13, 2005) The glittering and glamorous Broadway musical! Runaway Stage Productions is proud to have in our 2005 season this fabulous run-away hit by Blake Edwards about an out-of-work female singer who finds fame but romantic confusion when she poses as a female impersonator! With music composed by the late, great film composer, Henry Mancini, and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse, the show includes for songs, Le Jazz Hot, You & Me, Crazy World and Chicago Illinois from the 1982 motion picture of the same name. Additional music is by Frank Wildhorn, Bricusse's collaborator on the hit, "Jekyll & Hyde"!

Great Parking News at Sierra 2 - The 24th Street Theatre! As you are approaching the 24th Street theatre from Broadway, make a left turn on Castro Street and then a right turn into a newly available parking lot for theatre patrons. You will notice a new sign that lets you know that it is OK to park there for theatre events. This lot is very close to the theatre (a short walk right beside the theatre brings you to the front door, and the Box Office), and right next to the RSP rehearsal space known as "The Studio." So please feel free to park in this lot when you come to see the great shows at RSP! Just another way to make visiting the 24th Street Theatre easier and hassle free! |
