Claremont, CA-IVRT will present a smash hit musical over some great Italian food at Eddie's Eatery in Claremont as it launches "They're Playing Our Song."
"What do you get when you combine a Neil Simon script and the music of Marvin Hamlisch? An iconic Tony award-winning musical from 1979," said IVRT Director Frank Minano. "The iconic musical is cleverly presented in a small supper club format with Ronda Rubio at the keyboard. A fun and unique theatre experience!" said Minano.
About the plays:
Based on a book by Neil Simon with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, this funny, romantic hit musical is about an established composer and his relationship with an aspiring young female lyricist. Professionally the relationship works beautifully, but personally, they hit a few bumps: romance blossoms, conflict rears its head, and comic sparks fly. Patrons will enjoy being reminded of some classic 70's themes.
The cast includes IVRT performing veterans Patrick McMahon and Amanda Minano.
Performance Date and Time: Performances for "They're Playing Our Song" are March 11, 14 and 15 at 6 p.m., and March 12 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
