A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices and a Tony nomination for Best Musical. Rodgers & Hammerstein probably never imagined "Shall We Dance?" as a comic pas de deux for a towering beauty and her diminutive admirer, nor did they suspect that one day a lovelorn young lad might pose the musical question "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?" But that's precisely the kind of invention lavished upon this new revue, with the innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrew Sisteresque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out'a My Hair", a swinging "Honeybun" worthy of the Moderaires, and a jazzy "Kansas City" which leaves no question about how terrifically up to date the remarkable songs of R&H remain.
"A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING is enough to restore one's faith in the future of the revue and the durability of Rodgers & Hammerstein. It gives the material the kind of thoughtful rethinking it has long deserved."
USA TODAY
"A splendiferous show of songs, a terrific compendium. Everything's up to date with Rodgers and Hammerstein - it is indeed a grand night!"

The Importance of Being Earnest,
A Trivial Comedy for Serious People
By Oscar Wilde
Directed by Judith Jarosz
February 8 - March 9, 2008
Oscar Wilde's jabs at hypocrisy, pretense and boring conventionality are as timely and funny today as when he wrote them. A classic comedy of manners, The Importance of Being Earnest is widely considered to be one of the finest plays ever written.
