This
boulevard comedy was a smash hit in Paris and London, where
it met with critical acclaim for over two years. Bernard is
planning a weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in a French
farmhouse. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare
gourmet delights, is packing his wife Jacqueline off to her
mother's, and has even invited his best friend to provide
the alibi. It's foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Suppose
Robert turns up not knowing why he has been invited? Suppose
Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? What happens if the
cook is mistaken for the mistress and the mistress is unable
to cook? An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard
and Robert improvise at breakneck speed. |

Based
on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, Godspell is one of
the most successful musicals in history. It presents a whimsical
view of Jesus whose followers and disciples re-enact parables
and scenes from various theatrical drawing traditions, such
as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville.
Godspell is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the
life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

Inspired
by "The Taming of the Shrew," with a score by Cole
Porter, this show revolves around two once-married theatre
actors performing opposite each other as Petruchio and Katherine
in a Broadway-bound musical version of Shakespeare's play.
Already on poor terms, they begin an all-out emotional war
that promises to hinder the production's success. The only
things keeping it together are threats from two gangsters
trying to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio.
Slapstick madness ensues before a happy resolution.
