A CHORUS LINE is a stunning musical-vérité about a chorus audition for a Broadway musical. It tells of the achingly poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies to land a job in the show, and is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration. Memorable musical numbers include I Can Do That, At the Ballet, Dance: Ten; Looks: Three, The Music and the Mirror, What I Did for Love, One (Singular Sensation) and I Hope I Get It. It is a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama. The show was instantly recognized as a classic.

1776 July 8 – July 26, 2015
Book by Peter Stone Music and Lyrics by Sherman Edwards Based on a concept by Sherman Edwards
Witness the birth of a nation as our forefathers struggle to craft the Declaration of Independence.
The seminal event in American history blazes to vivid life in this most unconventional of Broadway hits. 1776 puts a human face on the pages of history as we see the men behind the national icons: proud, frightened, uncertain, irritable, charming, often petty and ultimately noble figures determined to do the right thing for a fledgling nation. It’s the summer of 1776, and the nation is ready to declare independence…if only our founding fathers can agree to do it! 1776 follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, and Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence. 1776 is a funny, insightful, and compelling drama with a striking score and legendary book.

THE PRODUCERS
June 3 – June 21, 2015

Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks Based on the 1968 Film
A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks’ laugh-out-loud spectacle.

Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, THE PRODUCERS once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night. The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime For Hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (ANNIE) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

Tickets to Debut Summer Season at NEW Warsaw Federal Incline Theater On Sale Monday

City’s Newest Performing Arts Venue on Schedule to Open June 3

WFIT_renderingTickets to single shows in the premiere Summer Classics Season at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater go on sale this Monday, April 20.

Last August, Cincinnati Landmark Productions announced the grand opening date and the debut season at the region’s newest performing arts venue. The 2015 Summer Classics Season, presented by TriHealth, includes:

  • THE PRODUCERS, June 3-21
  • 1776, July 8-26
  • 9 TO 5, August 12-30

Tickets to individual shows – $26 for adults, $23 for seniors and students – will be available at the Covedale Center Box Office on Monday beginning at 11 a.m. Patrons are encouraged to call (513) 241-6550 or visit in person at 4990 Glenway Avenue.

Until Monday, only whole season subscriptions – $63 each – have been available to purchase. And the response was overwhelmingly positive. Over 71 percent of available seats have been purchased through subscriptions.

“We received amazing response from subscribers who have been with us since our early days on the Showboat Majestic as well as subscribers from our Covedale Center venue who wanted classic theatrical entertainment during the summer,” said Tim Perrino, executive artistic director of Cincinnati Landmark Productions. “These three great titles combined with audience curiosity about the new venue and the blossoming entertainment district in East Price Hill made the Summer Classics Season an instant hit. We’re excited to sell the remaining ticket inventory we have.”

The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater will be a brand new, purpose-built, 229-seat performing arts center and parking garage in the Incline District in East Price Hill. Located at the corner of Matson Place and West 8th Street, the $6 million project broke ground in September and is on schedule (and on budget!) to open to the public on June 3, 2015.

The Box Office at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater is expected to be operational by June 1, and will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Patrons can purchase tickets to the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater or the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts at either Box Office location.

The Warsaw Federal Incline Theater will be programmed year-round by Cincinnati Landmark Productions, culminating in over 120 show nights. In addition to the Summer Classics Season, which will expand to four productions in future years, the venue will host a four-show “District Series” season (October to April) designed to complement the “Marquee Series” at the Covedale Center.

Cincinnati Landmark Productions has been serving the West Side for over 30 years – first through its Cincinnati Young People’s Theatre program and then through its ownership and management of the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts in West Price Hill. Since opening in 2002, the arts center quadrupled its subscribership, from 800 to over 3000. Attendance ballooned from 13,990 in the 2002-03 season to over 37,000 (representing 336 zip codes) in the 2013-14 season.

Donor programs and sponsorships for the new venue are still available. For more information about the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, visit www.warsawfederalinclinetheater.com or call (513) 241-6550.
