Sat, 11/10 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM We're just taking a list of interested seniors at the front desk. No payment is necessary yet. Ticket prices for seniors start at $64 for mainstage seating. Howard Barnes is a perfectly average American guy: he likes baseball, grilling, and his daily routine. That is, until the day he wakes up to discover his life has become a musical. Desperate to return things to normal, Howard embarks on a fantastical quest through the realm of musical theatre. This musical is equal parts satire, romantic comedy, and love of this award-winning, jaw-achingly funny, musical performance. Please indicate your interest (only) by Oct 10, 2018. |
