JOHNNY GUITAR: THE MUSICAL

 

April 12 – May 4, 2008

 

Lyrics & Music by Joel Higgins; Music by Martin Silvestri

  Honored as off-Broadway's Best Musical in  

  2004 by the Outer Critics Circle, Johnny

  Guitar is a tuneful, laugh-filled musical

  comedy that embraces and sends up  

  Fifties-style movie acting, melodramatic

  romance, and rough-and-tumble cowboy

  action. Featuring a sensational score with echoes of doo-wop songs and steamy southwestern ballads, the musical Johnny Guitar is based on a cult film favorite starring Joan Crawford.


It tells the tale of Vienna, a sultry saloon keeper and her jealous nemesis Emma, the town's tycoon. When Johnny Guitar, a handsome stranger with a secret past, rides into town and faces off with Vienna's lover, the hot-headed Dancin' Kid, the stage is set for a hilarious showdown unlike anything the Old West, or the theatre-has ever seen!
