Superman Musical Takes the Stage in Cleveland, OH
by Neil Cole
The Musical Theater Project will present a one-night-only performance of the 1966 Broadway musical, "It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman!" on Monday, April 15th at the Breen Center for the Performing Arts in Cleveland, OH.
The Man of Steel sings! Where? In his 1966 Broadway show featuring a playful Charles Strouse-Lee Adams (Bye Bye Birdie) score including "You've Got Possibilities," and a wisecracking script by Robert Benton and David Newman, who later penned the first Superman movie starring Christopher Reeve. In this version, our super-hero has his hands full defending Metropolis against all evildoers -- most notably Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a vengeful 10-time Nobel Prize loser obsessed with destroying the world's symbol of goodness. And as usual, Lois Lane is obsessed with the unattainable guy in the red cape.
The performance will be directed by Terri Kent with music direction by Nancy Maier and a cast featuring members of the Kent State University Musical Theatre Program.
Tickets are $35.00 for general admission and $38.00 for preferred seating and are available for purchase on-line at BrownPaperTickets.com.
