HANGMEN by Martin McDonagh It’s 1965, and the death penalty has just been abolished in the United Kingdom. Naturally all of Oldham, northern England, wants to know what Harry, the second-best hangman in the country, has to say about it. As the news breaks, Harry’s pub is overrun with locals and reporters looking for a quote, until a visitor arrives with a darker and more mysterious agenda.​“HANGMEN is a thoroughly great play…riveting from start to finish. Almost every line is laugh-out-loud funny, every moment filled with dramatic tension.” —The Times (UK).

Featuring a jazzy score, this charming musical follows two best friends—cheerful Frog and curmudgeonly Toad—through four, fun-filled seasons, meeting new friends like Man Bird and Lady Bird, Father, Mother and Young Frog, Turtle, Squirrel, and many more. From waking from hibernation in spring to planting gardens in summer, raking leaves in fall, and sledding in winter, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures with wit and heart and celebrates the differences that make us unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, all charm, it is an inventive, exuberant, and enchanting experience for the whole family.

He was leading member of the prestigious New World Theater. Returning to Hawaii, John released his first album, Acoustic Soul, in 1996. It was followed by radio hits “Shine On,” “Sitting in Limbo,” and “Island Style,” which won two Na Hoku Awards, including one for “Most Promising Artist,” and has become iconic in Hawai’i. In 2005, John added a Grammy Award® – the first to be awarded for Hawaiian music – to his list of honors, as part of the compilation CD, Slack Key Guitar Volume 2.
