Summer 2013

Grease |
May 22 – June 8 |
at the Gateway Playhouse |
Generations will applaud as the class
of 1959 reunites for one last bash in
this high-energy stage show — America’s
first “high school musical.” Sparks
fly when the Rydell High pack gets
wise to a hushed summer romance between
Danny, the smoothest hot rodder
in town, and Sandy, the good girl
next door — giving way to hilarious and
nearly heartbreaking consequences.
With favorites like “Greased Lightnin’,” “Summer Nights” and “We Go
Together,” you’ll know it’s time to “hand jive, baby!” So, put on your
leather jackets and poodle skirts, throw your mittens around your kittens
and — a-wayyy we go! |

Young Frankenstein |
June 12 – June 29 |
at the Gateway Playhouse |
The crazy comic genius of Mel Brooks
(“The Producers”) comes ALIVE in this
outlandish laugh riot of a musical!
Adapted from the hilarious film of
the same name, this Tony-nominated
show breathes new Schick into the
franchise, thanks to expanded scenes
and new gags. With such classy numbers
as “The Transylvania Mania,”
“He Vas My Boyfriend” and “Puttin’ On The Ritz,” it’s easy to see why
Newsday called the Broadway production “a blissfully funny monster
mash.” At the Gateway, this science experiment gone horribly wrong
has never felt so hilariously right. |

Singin’ in the Rain |
July 24 – August 10 |
at the Patchogue Theatre |
The charm, glamour and romance of
Tinseltown shines on the Patchogue
stage in this feel-good extravaganza.
It’s the roaring ‘20s and silent screen
talents Bob Lockwood and his chipmunk-
voiced co-star Lina Lamont are
the “bees knees,” until the newest
talking pictures begin to rain on their
parade. What to do when it pours? Don’t just talk — SING! Sparkling
choreography and a bevy of classic songs (“Good Mornin’,” “Make ‘Em
Laugh,” “You’re My Lucky Star” and, of course, “Singin’ in the Rain”),
make it easy to see why Time Magazine has called this timeless show
“The Greatest Musical of Ever.” At this grand production, you’ll be
happy again… singin’ and dancin’ in the rain!

Baby,” “That’ll Be the Day,” “Raining in my Heart” and “Rave On”),
