Director Penelope Haskew and more than 36 actors and behind the scenes crew present this original theatrical adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical by the legendary writing team, Ahrens and Flaherty.
Through almost non-stop song and dance, creative light and set designs, the Calypso-flavored tale features a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When the boy is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island guide the girl on a quest that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and even death.
Thursday is “Pay What You Can” at the door; Friday and Saturyday’s tickest are $8 for adults and $5 for student reserved. Visit www.sjctheatre.org to purchase tickets.
