The Arden Theatre in Philly will be presenting Sunday in the Park with George from May 27 - July 4, 2010.

In 2007 they presented Assassins which received great reviews. I tried seeing the production, but it was unfortunately sold out.

I definitely am not going to miss this one. It states that they are going to use the full orchestrations. They also list a projection and video designer, so I wonder if it will be similar to the recent revival.

Thanks for the reminder.

So, many things going on that I had forgotten about this.

I'm planning on going. I took my father to the '08 revival, and he has expressed interest in seeing this one as well. I'm excited.

I'm excited.... I hear good things from rehearsals.

(Shameless Plug) On another note... "Reefer Madness: The Musical" opens tomorrow at Drexel... really great production. Come check it out!

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this.

Interestingly, I saw the 1993-94 production that the Arden staged in which the actor now playing George (Jeff Coon, one year out of Penn) played Soldier. He's become quite the VIP in the Philly theatre scene in the intervening 15 years or so.
