  3. The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale


Journey to the magical realms of Middle-earth as J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy of books are brought to the stage in a US premiere musical. As the Hobbits celebrate Bilbo Baggins' eleventy-first birthday in the Shire, he gifts his nephew Frodo his most precious belongings: a gold ring. This fateful moment launches Frodo on a legendary and perilous quest across Middle-earth to the darkest realms of Mordor, to vanquish evil with his loyal Fellowship. This theatrical event celebrates the magical world of Middle-earth, making for an unforgettable experience for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Sharing the Watermill's wonderful expression of The Lord of the Rings on stage with audiences across the globe beginning this summer in Chicago, with the US premiere of Paul Hart's and Chicago Shakespeare Theater's collaborative re-imagining, is a dream come true for all of us at Middle-earth Enterprises, says Fredrica Drotos, of Middle-earth Enterprises. Chicago Shakespeare Theater's US premiere production will transfer this fall to The Civic Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand, beginning November 5.
