Theater of the Stars’ 2010 lineup celebrates 58 seasons of presenting musicals at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.
“We have some wonderful world-class entertainment in store for 2010, from old-fashioned fun to brand new shows that are sure to dazzle,” stated Theater of the Stars Producer Christopher B. Manos.
The 2010 season:
Little House on the Prairie, The Musical (June 15 – June 20): the beloved celebration of early America featuring Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura for 10 years on the timeless television series, appearing onstage as “Ma.” Based on the classic book series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
The Phantom of the Opera (June 26 – July 6): the award-award winning tragic love story of an opera singer and a young composer, featuring “the most lavish sets, costumes and special effects ever to have been created for the stage.” Created by Andrew Lloyd Webber, this production is the longest running show in Broadway history, and typically sells out.
The Sound of Music (Aug. 24 – Aug. 29): the heartwarming musical featuring infamous titles like “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “So Long, Farewell” and of course, “The Sound of Music.”
Blue Man Group (Sept. 7 – Sept. 12): a wildly popular combination of music, comedy and theatrics described as “an intensely exciting and widely outrageous experience that leaves the entire audience in a blissful, euphoric state.” Making its Atlanta debut, the show has played for years in cities such as New York, Chicago and Orlando.
Nine to Five: The Musical (Sept. 28 – Oct. 3): the new musical comedy straight from Broadway, featuring original music and lyrics by Dolly Parton. Based on the book by Patricia Resnick and the popular 1980s film.
Irving Berlin’s White Christmas (Nov. 2 – Nov. 7): the bouyant story of two showbiz veteran hoofers putting on a show to help an old army buddy, packed with dancing, romance, laughter, and some of the best songs ever written. Directed by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie, this show promises to be a heartwarming experience for the entire family.
Tickets for the Fantastic 58th Season of Musicals are on sale now at Theaterofthestars.com.
