of the legend of King Arthur, his Knights
of the Round Table, and his quest for
the Holy Grail. The wacky show features
The Lady of the Lake and Her Laker
Girls, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Robin
the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot,
coconuts, cows, killer rabbits, and annoying
French people. Songs include "Always
Look on the Bright Side of Life," "I Am
Not Dead Yet," "The Song That Goes Like
This," and the immortal "Fisch Schlapping
Dance." One of the funniest shows you
will ever see, this musical comedy raises
silliness to an art form.

NEW
The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess
June 11–29
Winner of the 2012 Tony Award for Best
Musical Revival, The Gershwins' Porgy &
Bess is set in Charleston's fabled Catfish
Row, where the beautiful Bess struggles
to break free from her scandalous past
and the only one who can rescue her is
the courageous Porgy. Threatened by her
formidable former lover Crown and the
seductive enticements of the colorful troublemaker Sporting Life, Porgy and Bess'
relationship evolves into a deep romance
that triumphs as one of theater's most
exhilarating love stories. You'll be swept
away with such legendary hits as, "It
Ain't Necessarily So," "I Got Plenty of
Nothing," and the incomparable
"Summertime." This stunning and stirring
new staging is being hailed as "a gorgeous
version of the Gershwins' masterpiece."
