NEXT GENERATION OF TALENT TO PERFORM
DURING UH’S MUSICAL THEATRE LAB
A new generation of potential Broadway talent debuts during the
University of Houston’s Musical Theatre Lab production 8 p.m.,
Dec. 3-4 at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts.
Stuart Ostrow, top Tony Award-winning Broadway producer and Distinguished
University Professor of Theatre at UH, has personally selected three
teams of composers, lyricists, authors, directors, producers, performers
and choreographers to perform excerpts from three new musicals based
on these well-known works:
- Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Wonderful Ice Cream
Suit,” which tells the story of six Mexican-American men
and one woman who buy a suit they believe works miracles;
- Jean Anouilh’s classic play “Time Remembered,”
in which a working-class Parisian woman accepts a mysterious position
in an aristocratic home and
- Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel “The Lovely Bones,”
which tells of young Susie Salmon who dies in a violent crime
and watches her family fall apart from Heaven.
In 1973, Ostrow’s Musical Theatre Lab began at the St. Clements
Church in New York City. The organization later developed at the
Kennedy Center, Harvard College and UH. The program is in its 31st
season.
