"Superman: The Musical" Production Coming to Rochester, NY Stage
by Neil Cole
The TYKEs Theatre program will present a production of the classic musical "It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman!" from March 9th - 17th at the Louis S. Wolk Jewish Community Center's Hart Theater in Rochester, New York.
The musical originally opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on March 29th, 1966 and is the tale of Superman's efforts to defeat Dr. Abner Sedgwick, a ten-time Nobel Prize-losing scientist who seeks to avenge the scientific world's dismissal of his brilliance by attempting to destroy the world's symbol of good.
Additionally, Superman comes into romantic conflict with Max Mencken, a columnist for the Daily Planet newspaper, who resents Lois Lane's attraction to Superman, and later teams up with Sedgwick to destroy Superman.
Composed by Charles Strouse, with lyrics by Lee Adams and book by David Newman and Robert Benton, this premiere adaptation of the 1966 family-friendly musical will be sure to soar up, up and away into the hearts of all children and the young at heart.
Tickets are $18.00 for reserved seating and $16.00 for JCC Members. For more information including performance dates & times, please visit JCCRochester.org.
