THE STORY: In the Baptist backwoods of the Bible Belt, the beleaguered
Turpin family proves that living and dying in the South are seldom tidy and
always hilarious. Despite their earnest efforts to pull themselves together
for their father's funeral, the Turpin's other problems keep overshadowing
the solemn occasion: Firstborn Ray-Bud drinks himself silly as the funeral
bills mount; Junior, the younger son, is juggling financial ruin, a pack of
no-neck monster kids, and a wife who suspects him of infidelity in the family
car; their spinster sister, Delightful, copes with death as she does life, by
devouring junk food; and all the neighbors add more than two cents. As the
situation becomes fraught with mishap, Ray-Bud says to his long-suffering
wife, "When I die, don't tell nobody. Just bury me in the backyard and tell
everybody I left you." Amidst the chaos, the Turpins turn for comfort to
their friends and neighbors, an eccentric community of misfits who just
manage to pull together and help each other through their hours of need, and
finally, the funeral.

STORY: Broadway’s legendary musical has been specially adapted to meet the
needs of young performers. This author-approved edition has been abridged to a
running time of just over two hours, while carefully maintaining the integrity
of one the greatest musicals ever written.
This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century
France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, petty thief Jean Valjean
is released from his 19-year term and not only becomes and honest man, but
the mayor of a prosperous town and a loving adoptive father - violating his
parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert, who makes a decent
life for Valjean impossible, consequently pursues him. Only years later,
after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves
the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean’s adopted daughter,
does the ex-convict finally feel fully redeemed.
