Our Annual Coffeehouse Show features a complimentary beverage bar (non-alcoholic) and an extended intermission in a coffee house setting with luscious desserts available for purchase. Dessert and beverage sponsors include Michael Angelo's Bakery, Creekside Restaurant, and Caruso's Coffee.
Taste and imagination, the two key ingredients for a first-rate revue, abound in this fresh take on the Rodgers & Hammerstein canon conceived by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie. Over three decades after the duo's final collaboration, The Sound of Music, took the Great White Way by storm, it was in fact this new R&H musical that opened the 1994 Broadway season with flair and distinction, garnering wildly enthusiastic notices as well as earning two Tony nominations, including Best Musical. This new revue, with innovative musical arrangements including a sultry Andrews Sisters-esque "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out-a My Hair," a swingin' "Honeybun" worthy of the Modernaires, and a jazzy "Kansas City" which leaves no question about how terrifically up to date the remarkable songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein remain.
