Now PlayingWonderful Town Fall show 2009 information GETS RAVING REVIEWS BY AUDIENCE AND MEDIA!!  Show dates: November 6,7,12,13,14, 2009 at 8 pm and November 8,14, 2009 at 2 pm @Showplace WONDERFUL TOWN is sunny, spirited and bursting with good humor. Leonard Bernstein's score is happily melodic in the ballads, and helpful in illustrating the pleasant story. Memorable are the ballads A Quiet Girl, 100 Ways to Lose a Man and It's Love, as well as the nostalgic lament Ohio. The dance numbers grow naturally out of the story. It is about the adventures and misadventures of two sisters who move from their comfortable hometown in Ohio to Greenwich Village, a bohemian area in New York City -Christopher Street to fulfill their dreams. Ruth is an aspiring writer, average in appearance and can't keep a man's attention - no matter what. Eileen, a fledgling actress, is Ruth's opposite. She is a beautiful dancer, who - without even trying - has men falling at her feet. The girls end up with a one month lease on a tiny, basement studio apartment near a subway construction site. What it lacks in charm and privacy, the room makes up for in location. They are homesick - Ohio. The neighborhood is full of interesting people like Appopolous, their landlord and an artist, Wreck (a former football player) and his live-in fiance Helen, Mrs. Wade (Helen's mother who comes for a visit), Violet (a lady of the night and the previous tenant of the apartment the girls are renting) and a precinct of friendly police officers.
