80th
Anniversary Production!
A
CONNECTICUT YANKEE in King Arthur's Court First
mounted in 1927, then revived in 1943, A CONNECTICUT
YANKEE contains the last song ever written by
Rodgers & Hart (the deadly funny "To Keep My Love
Alive"). It's the story of Martin, a Connecticut resident,
who's knocked out and sent back in time to Camelot
when his fiancé hits him on the head with a
champagne bottle. After outwitting a sorceress and
winning his true bride, Martin returns to the 20th
century for a happy ending, but not before singing
such rousing classics as "My Heart Stood Still" and
"Thou Swell".
This
staged reading is the full show with orchestra, minimal
sets and costumes and the actors frequently carry
their scripts.
