TENDERLY: THE ROSEMARY CLOONEY MUSICAL runs Feb. 21-March 4

TENDERLY: The Rosemary Clooney Musical
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association & The Human Race Theatre Company
Feb. 21-March 4
Dayton

Reviews: Dayton Examiner | Dayton Most Metro |

A new two-character musical about the life and career of actress and singer Rosemary Clooney.

It is 1968 and Rosemary is a guest at Robert Kennedy’s reception and speech after a victory in the California Presidential Primary. In a few tragic moments her dear friend RFK is assassinated and Rosemary soon finds herself in the midst of a nervous breakdown.

Hospitalized in Los Angeles, Rosie and her therapist explore her life, career, and relationships as he takes on the character of all the other persons in Rosie’s life: her mother, father, husband Jose Ferrer, Frank Sinatra, her sister Betty, Bing Crosby, and others.

We learn about her past, her triumphs, her challenges, and how she manages to rise above them all. TENDERLY is a tribute to a musical legend. Ages 13 and up.

Directed by Kevin Moore
Music directed by Scot Woolley
Produced by Tara Lail

Cast: Tory Ross & Scott Stoney

SENSE & SENSIBILITY runs Feb. 17-March 18

Jane Austen’s SENSE & SENSIBILITY
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
Feb. 17-March 18
Downtown

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat |

Fortune lost to fate. Romance lost to folly. When a lack of luck makes for difficult marriage prospects, the Dashwood sisters set sail on the volatile seas of courtship. Both are seeking husbands, but have completely opposite approaches. The sisters soon discover that neither reserved Elinor’s common sense nor impulsive Marianne’s passion offer the key to happiness. Scandalous secrets, burning betrayals, and suave (and some not-so-suave) suitors line the path to true love in this fresh adaptation of SENSE & SENSIBILITY.
