The 20th Century Limited was one of the most well-known trains in the world, with famous, infamous, and not-so-famous passengers intermingling with each other while basking in the lap of luxury for 16 hours between Chicago and New York City. For the final show of the Hudson Players season, the legendary train and its zany passengers are the brought back to life in On the Twentieth Century, a classic screwball comedy musical with book and lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden and music by Cy Coleman. Part operetta, part farce and all fun, On the Twentieth Century is a great night of musical theatre. The winner of five Tony awards during its original run back in the late 70s, the show featured John Cullum, Madeline Kahn and Kevin Kline. A Broadway revival in 2015 showcased Kristin Chenoweth's talents as Lily. Love and mischief collide on the tracks when down on this luck and bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee, the flamboyant impresario with a sinking reputation after four flops in a row, embarks on a madcap mission to cajole the glamorous Lily Garland, a Hollywood star and former Jaffee protégé - and lover - into playing the lead in his new, and currently nonexistent, epic drama. Is the 16-hour train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to have it produced on Broadway? Throw in a rival producer with his own agenda, a wealthy religious nut, Oscar's henchmen and various passengers and crew members that add zest to the merry, madcap journey. Dave Stebbins is directing and serving as musical director. His last outing for Hudson Players was Spamalot, another crowd-pleasing zany musical. Ron Jones is the assistant musical director, Amie Gabel is the choreographer and Tim Steiner has designed an amazing set along with serving as technical director for the show. Gary Maher and Jennifer Matas are the producers. The characters of Oscar and Lily are played by Don Bernardo and Chandra Porter. Mike Guffey and Sean Donovan play Oscar' loyal henchmen, while Jim Wolf is Lily's new boyfriend. Nathan Hill plays the role of a rival producer and Sharon Lloyd is the wacky religious nut who may or may not have the money to fund Oscar's new venture. Brian Diehl plays multiple roles, including a congressman caught in an embarrassing situation in a train car and Shelley Palumbo is a diva from Oscar and Lily's past. Genevieve Adelman, Brenda Willis, Carol Tymchenko, Chantel Covino, Len Reinker, Chris Macchione and Benjamin Mudrak round out the cast playing a variety of passengers, porters, reporters and photographers Handicapped seating is available. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
