HAIRSPRAY, Broadway’s musical comedy phenomenon that inspired a major motion picture is back for one performance only on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. This fantastically fun musical, winner of eight 2003 Tony® Awards including Best Musical, is currently enjoying its 5th record-breaking year on Broadway. And now, the people of Kalamazoo will again be swept away to 1960s Baltimore by this smash hit musical, piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance – and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a nonstop platter party. It’s HAIRSPRAY, live on stage in living color!
The Tony® Award-winning Best Musical Revival of 2006, THE PAJAMA GAME, comes to Miller Auditorium on Sunday, March 29, 2009 for one performance only at 3 p.m.! Hot on the heels of the recent Broadway smash hit, see this nationally touring musical that has audiences laughing in the aisles. Bright and riotously funny, this fast-paced, frisky tale received two Tony® Awards for the 2006 production, including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Choreography.
In THE PAJAMA GAME, a feisty employee representative has found her match in the pajama shop superintendent and when the two get together, they wind up discussing a whole lot more than job actions! The high-energy score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross brims with popular hits and musical theatre standards such as “Hey There,” “Steam Heat” and the hilarious “Hernando’s Hideaway” that will keep you humming all the way home.
Broadway classics new and old, HAIRSPRAY and THE PAJAMA GAME will keep audiences smiling.
