The Nutty Professor at Tennessee Performing Arts Center

TPAC proudly presents the world premiere of The Nutty Professor, a new musical comedy directed by the King of Comedy himself, Jerry Lewis! Featuring music by Oscar, Emmy, Tony, and Pulitzer Prize winner Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line) and a book and lyrics by 3-time Tony winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), The Nutty Professor is a musical treat for the whole family.

The story follows geeky chemistry professor Julius Kelp, who concocts a formula to turn himself into the ultimate heartthrob. But when the woman he loves falls for his alter ego, will Julius find the courage to win her back from his hipper self? Heartwarming and delightfully funny, The Nutty Professor has a universal message that everyone can relate to: we might try to change who we are...but there's no substitute for the real thing!

Be among the first to see this hilarious new musical before it heads to Broadway. Visit www.nuttyprofessormusical.com for more information.
