Everyone's favorite orphan is back at CVLT for the holiday season in the
classic musical written by Thomas Meehan, with the Strouse/Charmin songs
you know and love, like "Tomorrow", "Easy Street", "Maybe" and "It's the
Hard Knock Life".
Based upon the popular Harold Gray comic strip /Little Orphan Annie/,
the musical ran for nearly six years on Broadway, setting a record for
the Alvin Theatre (now the Neil Simon Theatre). It spawned numerous
productions in many countries, as well as national tours, and won the
Tony Award for Best Musical. /Annie/ returns to Broadway in 2012.
*** Tickets for the December 5th matinee are available exclusively

Playwright Wendy Weiner blends the life of protagonist Hillary Rodham
with a heavy dose of laughter and Greek mythological madness! As a girl
in Illinois, Hillary (Amy Pelleg) worships at the altar of Athena (Erin
Scerbak), the no-nonsense goddess of wisdom and war. Hil's devotion
angers Aphrodite (Kacey Durbin), goddess of love and beauty, who curses
her with Bill Clinton (Mark Moore), described by the play's Greek chorus
(Mark DePompei and Catherine Remick) as "a man of mythical charm and
appetites."
Follow Hillary from high school to Wellesley, from Yale Law School to
Arkansas, and from the White House (where a suspicious intern causes
some conflict) to the Senate.../Hillary: A Modern Greek Tragedy with a
(somewhat) Happy Ending/ is a "Hillary-ous" comedy that will take you to
Hell and back!

Two "mother and daughter" teams: Paula Pike and Greta Rothman, and Pam
LaForce and Alex LaForce-Marzullo celebrate the incoming year with bold
and brassy music from film, pop, and Broadway. A tribute to the
legendary, powerful women who pushed the envelope and dared to be
themselves as they made some of the most memorable music in history!
From Billie Holiday to Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli to Lady Gaga, this
cabaret-style evening will be an uplifting way to pay homage to decades
of timeless tunes while ringing in 2011.
With the show lasting 90 minutes, you will have the chance to enjoy the
music and reception while still having time to move on to your final
"midnight destination", be that home, or another party!

leaves town" bet over young woman and her money, and end up getting more
than either of them bargained for!

select Sundays at 2
*Audition Dates: * Sunday, *December 5th* and Tuesday, *December 7th*
