2. A Connecticut Yankee

A Connecticut Yankee is Rodgers & Hart at their best. It is just as insanely incongruous as Twain's original with wonderful Rodgers melodies and spot-on Hart wit to boot. Look for the classic “Thou Swell” and “My Heart Stood Still”, together with fun numbers like “On A Desert Isle With Thee”, "To Keep My Love Alive", "Ye Lunchtime Follies", "The Camelot Samba" and more!.

Based on John O'Hara's 1940 epistolary novel of the same name (who also wrote the show's libretto), Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart's Pal Joey tells the story of a small time nightclub emcee...a slice of low-life Chicago in the 1940s set to some of the best songs of the decade, headed up by "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered" and "I Could Write A Book" and including such intriguing specialty numbers as "Zip".
