* NIGHTTOWN KICKS OFF MASTER CLASS SERIES. * In January, *Merrily* comes to the Nighttown stage when Dr. Martin Friedman, adjunct theater professor at Lakeland Community College and Baldwin Wallace, will deliver a “Master Class” on why this musical that so many thought was destined for success, flopped on Broadway after only 16 performances – and why over the last 30 years it’s become one of Sondheim’s most beloved musicals. The Nighttown “Master Class” includes music director Jordan Cooper and Lakeland cast members performing several songs from *Merrily*. Other Master Class programs at Nighttown, with similar formats and different directors, will be announced soon. *Master Class at Nighttown: “Deconstructing” Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along* will premiere on January 8 at 7:00 pm and repeat on *MONDAY, JANUARY 22*. Tickets are $10 and can be reserved online at www.nighttowncleveland.com.
