2 p.m.: "Wonderful Town"
Music by Leonard Bernstein; Book by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov
Experience a lighthearted homage to New York City's status as a destination for dreamers as the students of the High School Musical Theatre Production program stage Wonderful Town. Set in 1930s-era Greenwich Village, the Tony Award-winning musical follows two small-town sisters as they pursue their dreams in the city—with mixed and often comical results. 2003 Broadway revival cast members Joyce Chittick and Rick Faugno helm a vibrant production featuring a book by Joseph A. Fields and Jerome Chodorov; lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green; and music by Leonard Bernstein.
