2003-2004 Season Fosse FOSSE, the Tony Award winning smash hit musical, highlights the work of the legendary dancer, choreographer and director Bob Fosse. Fosse’s sexy style and unique vision revolutionized the musical theatre with the Broadway hits Sweet Charity, Chicago, Dancin’, and the films Cabaret and All That Jazz. Long-time Fosse stars Gwen Verdon and Ann Reinking came together to recreate Bob Fosse’s groundbreaking work, and an extraordinarily talented cast brings Broadway’s all-time best choreography to life! 09/24/2004 - 09/26/2004
Peter Pan
Rounding out the 2004-2005 season of Broadway at The Milwaukee Theatre, PETER
PAN stars the legendary Cathy Rigby in a farewell performance! In stifling
Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime
tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the
children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into
their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of
stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland. Wendy and her brothers join Peter
and the Lost Boys in an exhilarating life--free of grown-up rules--while also
facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his pirate gang. A great tale
suitable for all ages, especially children, Tony Award nominee Cathy Rigby takes
flight in the 100th anniversary of the James Barrie tale – "Peter Pan." 04/26/2005 - 05/01/2005
The King & I The second show in the 2004-2005 Broadway at The Milwaukee Theatre series is set in the exotic and opulent Far East in the 1860s. Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I tells the story of an adventurous Englishwoman, Anna Leonowens, who becomes governess to the many children of the autocratic and stubborn King of Siam. The original 1951 production received five Tony Awards including Best Musical; the 1956 movie adaptation received five Academy Awards. 02/22/2005 - 02/27/2005
Thoroughly Modern Millie
The third show in the 2004-2005
Broadway at The Milwaukee Theatre series was the biggest Tony Award®-winner of
2002! The Best Musical on Broadway is a singing, dancing, romancing musical
comedy that takes you back to Manhattan, 1922, with all the jazz-age razzmatazz
you want in a big, bright, brand-new Broadway blockbuster. It's the story of a
Midwestern girl who arrives in New York determined to take the town by storm.
USA Today says MILLIE is "a thoroughly delightful experience." And as Time Out
New York says, "you can't see this kind of whirling, transporting pop
entertainment anywhere else!" 03/15/2005 - 03/20/2005
