Strike Up The Band!
Here comes our 14th Season with a big
crescendo! Not only do we have a terrific lineup of shows this season, but some
new surprises are in store within the walls of our theater. Wait and see
what has happened to our lobby, Box Office and restroom facilities! Tacoma
Musical Playhouse is growing like you won’t believe!
This year, our fabulous season brings to the
TMP stage six of the most
magical, memorable and musical productions ever programmed into
one
thrilling season! Just in time for the baseball play-off season,
the hit musical comedy Damn Yankees leads off our season with an
award-winning revival and score. Next, we celebrate family and the holidays with
some of the most memorable songs from film and Broadway with the classic,
Meet Me in St. Louis.
Tickets to this holiday spectacular are included this year in the price of your season subscription. Our third show, the
adventurous and groundbreaking new musical Urinetown, brings to the
stage a uniquely satirical and ridiculously humorous look at tyranny while at the
same time staging one of the most clever spoofs of the musical theater
art-form. It’s sheer hilarity for the musical theater enthusiast! Spring
2008 comes quickly to TMP as we next present one of the most glorious
collections of George and Ira Gershwin’s music in the frothy and fun, My
One and Only. Both the TMP orchestra and its singers will be given
the opportunity to shine in the epic and daring Miss Saigon — the
international sensation and intensely personal story of love and sacrifice.
Finally, from the top of our annual patron survey, the worldwide musical
sensation Grease returns to TMP as our 2008 Summer Blockbuster.
This extraordinarily popular musical was presented here more than a decade ago and that production still holds the
record for ticket sales over all other TMP productions!
The Tacoma Children’s Musical Theater was such a huge success
with
both our audiences and performers alike that we have added more
shows
to offer our younger theater audiences. This year we have
three delightful
musicals that will entertain the whole family. Just in time
for Halloween, the musical Annabelle Broom, the Unhappy Witch will
dance and sing across our stage. We even have a Halloween costume party
performance planned to add to this exciting show! Our second offering will be
the Lewis Carroll classic, Alice in Wonderland. Don’t miss
Alice’s Mad Tea Party scheduled before the May 24th performance. And just in time for
Father’s Day, we will present the heartwarming story of a father’s love so great that
his wooden puppet becomes a real little boy, Pinocchio!
We also have three theater tour opportunities planned for this
year. Of course we will return to New York to see the best and latest on
Broadway, but we are also planning to take a short trip to Las Vegas and one more
theater city to be announced at a later time. These popular trips are
offered first to our Season Patrons and then, if space allows,
the general public.
“Enriching lives through the art form of musical theater!”
