ArtsWest to produce rarely produced musical
Thu, 03/11/2010
ArtsWest presents Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tell Me on a Sunday, opening April 28 and running through May 23. This rarely-produced musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar) is a one-woman musical tour-de-force, with lyrics by Academy Award winner Don Black and Tony winner Richard Maltby, Jr.
Tell Me on a Sunday compiles the best songs of Lloyd Webber in a musical story about a young designer named Emma (played by Danielle Barnum), and her search for love. By turns wry, sly, and very funny, dozens of Lloyd Webber’s hit songs take us through Emma’s romantic misadventures as they lead her from New York to Beverly Hills and back again. She starts out hopeful, innocent, and dependent, but as her journey unfolds she learns that power emanates not from the counsel of others, but from her own instincts. Co-Director Christopher Zinovitch (Bat Boy: the Musical, History Boys, I Am My Own Wife) emphasizes that “This show is one of Lloyd Webber’s gems. Tell Me on a Sunday really focuses on this woman’s journey and the complex emotions she experiences. Emma’s self-awakening in the end is a beautiful thing to watch.”
Tell Me on a Sunday opens April 28 and runs through May 23, 2010 at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery.
