Holiday Inn The Musical & Waitress The Musical

July 12, 2018 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM

Holiday Inn Broadway Musical

Waitress Broadway MusicalTwo very different but very wonderful Broadway musicals are playing in Chicago this year. This unique, brand-new multimedia presentation will take an in-depth look at both.

 “Waitress” is one of the most acclaimed musicals currently playing on Broadway. It is the first major Broadway musical ever to have an all-female creative team!  The music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles are powerful, evocative, funny and sentimental. The plot, revolving around a waitress who dreams of being a high baking champion to escape a dreary life touches on deep emotional chords for the audience. This is one of my favorite shows of the past few years on Broadway.

 “Holiday Inn” is a brand-new stage adaptation of the timeless Irving Berlin omnibus musical movie that featured Fred Astaire and Bing Crosby.  “Holiday Inn” features some of Irving Berlin’s best Holiday Inn Broadway Musicalholiday music including, “White Christmas,”  “Easter Parade” “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve,” & “Happy Holidays.”

In this fast-moving and music filled presentation, will examine the backstory of each of the productions.  although their work is obviously very different, we will look deeply at the work of the composers, Irving Berlin and Sara Bareilles,  and listen to some of the amazing music featured in each show.

 

If you are a fan of Broadway musicals, you definitely do not want to miss this presentation!
