HOLIDAY INN
Lesley Ann Warren plays the title role in this television production of the classic Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III musical. Young Cinderella longs to go to the royal ball and dance with the Prince—but it will take a magical miracle to make it happen.
Jim leaves the bright lights of show business behind to settle down on his farmhouse in Connecticut, but life isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. Jim’s luck takes a spectacular turn when he meets Linda, a spirited schoolteacher with talent to spare. Together they turn the farmhouse into a fabulous inn with dazzling performances to celebrate each holiday, from Thanksgiving to Easter.
AN AMERICAN IN PARIS
FOREVER PLAID
This breathtakingly beautiful Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical, inspired by the Oscar® winning MGM film, tells the vibrant story of discovering love in the City of Light. Featuring the gorgeous music and lyrics of George and Ira Gershwin (including the classic hits “’S Wonderful” and “I Got Rhythm”), stunning designs, and show-stopping choreography.
You’ll enjoy this affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony guy groups that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s. This quartet of high-school chums, and their earnest dreams of recording an album, ended (symbolically, and even literally). Sadly, it ends in death when their cherry red ’54 Mercury collided with a bus filled with Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles’ U.S. debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The girls were fine.
