"On The Town" presented by Stolen Shakespeare Guild

ON THE TOWN
play program

The Travelling Toe and 3 Dear Friends attended the Saturday matinee production of "On The Town".  The play presented by SSG, was performed on the Sanders Theatre stage.

Perhaps you might remember the 1949 movie that is sometimes played on movie channels. It starred Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller and Betty Garrett.

The story is about 3 young sailors, Gabey, Chip and Ozzie, who have a 24 hour liberty pass from their ship in NYC.  Since they only have a short time in the Big Apple they want to make every second count - and they do!!

Along with all the sightseeing they each meet the girl of their dreams.  But not with out some singing and dancing and a lot of fun.  

Sailors and Gals

The opening and closing song, "New York, New York" is now considered a classic.

The entire cast in this production were awesome in both singing and dancing. The stage area is rather small but they always do an excellent job of stage setting and design.

What a fun time we had.  We were able to see the "sites' of NYC with the sailors and did not have to board a plane to join them!!
