A Few Great Musicals for the Month of May
A trip to the theater is always a fun way to spend some time with your someone special. Here are a couple of musical events coming up that might strike your fancy. If so, then pick up some tickets and make a date night of it.
Newsies - Sarofim Hall - May 19th Through May 24th
This musical is based on a Disney film from 1992, though the events that inspired it are true. Follow the tale of the late 1800s newsboys, mostly orphans and homeless, as they fight against the rising costs of newspapers and the danger that such costs bring to the security of their jobs.
The Music Man - Sarofim Hall - Through May 17th
This long-time favorite of musical theater is back for another run. The story revolves around a musical instrument salesman who is bent on ripping off the good people of a small town. Naturally, love enters into the picture and the con-man must reevaluate his motives.
