Destry Rides Again (1959) Music and Lyrics by Harold Rome Hollywood’s classic western is transformed into a whoopin’, shootin’, rip-roarin’ firecracker of a musical. Bottle-neck is a town filled with gamblers, bullwhip-toting bad guys, saloon girls and drunkards all intent on maintaining their wild ways. The new sheriff, Tom Destry, intends to keep the peace without using a gun. Frenchy, the dance hall girl at the Last Chance Saloon, is sent to compromise his morals and lead him astray. In a classic tangle of law vs. vice, Destry Rides Again takes a dark turn and moves toward a riveting climax. In roles immortalized by Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich on film and Andy Griffith and Dolores Gray on Broadway are Moon favorite Steve Rhyne and popular San Francisco singer Connie Champagne. Harold Rome’s score includes rousing numbers such as Are You Ready, Gyp Watson?, I Say Hello, Anyone Would Love You, and Ev’ry Once in a While. |

Jubilee (1935) Oh, what high jinks abound in Cole Porter and Moss Hart’s smart, cheeky, and ultra-moderne 1935 hit! The Royal Family of a “fictional European country” (read: England) uses the threat posed by an impending revolution as an excuse to abandon the throne and pursue their private dreams. Off they go on an adventure with parody versions of a host of recognizable 1930s celebrities (Noel Coward, Elsa Maxwell, Johnny Weissmuller, Ginger Rogers), who show the disguised monarch and his family the time of their royal lives. Cole Porter’s amazing score includes Begin the Beguine, Just One of Those Things, Why Shouldn’t I?, A Picture of Me Without You, and The Kling-Kling Bird on the Divi-Divi Tree. Megan Cavanagh and
Michael Patrick Gaffney star as the Queen and King. |

Very Warm for May (1939) Music by Jerome Kern The first show in our Jerome Kern Celebration spotlights Kern’s final Broadway score. A giddy romp, Oscar Hammerstein II’s script takes the old “barn musical” plot and turns it on its head. This time, the show in the barn is an avant-garde musical being rehearsed by a bohemian bunch led by an eccentric director. Equally strange is Winnie Spofford, the amiably screwball Long Island matron who sponsors the troupe on her estate. The real star of Very Warm for May is Kern and Hammerstein’s beautiful and sophisticated score, which features the timeless All the Things You Are (heard in a stunning arrangement unique to the musical), All in Fun, In the Heart of the Dark, Heaven in My Arms, and In Other Words, Seventeen. |
