We're sorry that we're late in posting this week's program description, but it's been one of those weeks that perfectly exemplifies this theme!
Sometimes, it seems like everything is “for the birds,” so we thought we’d turn to the birds ourselves on this week’s Dress Circle (7/13 7:00 p.m.).
Once again, we had a great deal of fun mining our catalogue of musicals to bring you a variety of real, allegorical, and metaphysical birds from musicals like “Bloomer Girl,” “Lost in the Stars,” “Magdalena,” “The Spitfire Grill,” “Lady Be Good,” and “Sweeney Todd” along with several others with which you may or may not be familiar.
Our “real” birds include an eagle, blackbird, green finch, blue bird, and meadowlark. The metaphysical birds include a “Bird of Passage,” a “Sacred Bird,” and an “Omen Bird.” We’ll also hear about the “Early Birdie,” a songbird, and a “Little Jazz Bird” and others.
The songs aren’t “cheap,” and some are downright “tweet,” but they’re all in fun. We also promise that none of our birds are “Hitchcockian,” so those of you who might suffer from ornithophobia have nothing to worry about. These are birds in song only.
