Robert is celebrating his 35th birthday and his friends keep asking him: “Why are you still unmarried? Haven’t you found the right one? Isn’t it time for you to settle down and start a family?” Robert himself tries to find the answers to such questions while he visits and has dinner or a drink with his married friends, observing their married life and listening to them telling him about the pros and cons of marriage. He contemplates his own life and future during many amusing situations. Will he eventually succumb to his friends’ pressure or will he retain his freedom?

Into the Woods

Reedley’s River City Theatre

Welcome to Fleet Street, where the razors are sharp, and the pies are… questionable. Sweeney Todd slices through the competition as an 8-time Tony Award-winning musical phenomenon. With Stephen Sondheim’s deliciously devious score and Hugh Wheeler’s wicked wit, this gothic tale has thrilled audiences (and made them a bit nervous about barbers) since its Broadway debut. Sweeney Todd, the brooding barber with a bone to pick, returns to grimy 19th-century London in search of justice. But justice, it seems, is best served with a crust. Enter Mrs. Lovett, the entrepreneurial pie-maker whose business is going nowhere fast—until Todd’s special brand of “close shaves” gives her menu a sinister upgrade.

As London burns under the relentless bombardment of the Blitz, terrified citizens descend into the underground — huddled together in tight, airless tunnels where safety feels as fragile as the walls around them. Hope flickers like failing torchlight, and fear thrives in the shadows. In such a world, trust is scarce… and danger is always closer than you think.

Out of this darkness emerges Sweeney Todd, a wronged man returned from exile, seeking retribution against those who tore his life apart. His razors are sharp. His heart is harder. And every cut brings him closer to justice as he sees it.

Partnering with the resourceful — and dangerously inventive — Mrs. Lovett, Todd carves a path through a city already trembling with dread. Air raid sirens wail overhead. Secrets are whispered behind blackout curtains. And the ovens are about to get… busy.

Stephen Sondheim’s iconic musical thriller is reimagined against the backdrop of wartime Britain — where survival means doing the unthinkable, and vengeance is served piping hot.

Revenge is a dish served cold."

Benjamin Barker returns to London after years of exile – with a new name and sinister intentions. As Sweeney Todd, he opens a barbershop above Mrs. Lovett's bakery on Fleet Street. He wants revenge on Judge Turpin, who once unjustly deported him to Australia in order to steal his wife and daughter. Todd's razor is meant to send Turpin to his doom. The macabre business model he devises with Mrs. Lovett suits him perfectly: a fresh shave is half the battle. The customers who take a seat in Todd's barber's chair end up one floor below – in Mrs. Lovett's meat pies, which soon become incredibly popular. While beggars wander the streets outside and sailors sing of love, madness takes hold of the barber – and sweeps everything away with it.

Grant Cooper Conducts Sounds Of Cinema

Union Colony Civic Center

First, be swept away by gossamer wings. Transporting you to a world of Chinese legends, Butterfly Lover’s Concerto tells the tale of two young, ill-fated lovers who are reincarnated as butterflies. Following is a suite of Asian-themed works which will wrap you in their musical embrace. The soundscape then turns to Shakespeare, by way of Russia and America, with Tchaikovsky’s Fantasy Overture Romeo and Juliet and Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story upping the emotional quotient from passion and conflict to memorable and energetic dance themes.

Harmony of Love

Symphony Hall, Springfield

From the writing team that brought us Assassins and Pacific Overtures – Road Show is based on the true story of the Mizner Brothers. From the Alaskan Gold Rush in the 1890s to the Florida real estate boom in the 1920s, Road Show is the story of men and women in late nineteenth century America, willing to take risks to grab their piece of the American Dream. Spanning 40 years, Addison and Wilson Mizner are constantly looking for the next way to strike it rich. This quest turns into a test of morality and judgment for the two brothers that will change their lives in unexpected ways.
