KERN AND HAMMERSTEIN'S LOST LONDON MUSICAL SET AGAINST THE WORLD OF DERBYS, CARNIVALS AND WWI BATTLEFIELDS!
Enchanting and poignant, Three Sisters (not based on Chekhov's play of the same name) spins the tale of a traveling carnival photographer and his spirited daugthers. A roving busker woos the youngest daughter, but the wandering performer's life lures him back on the road. This National Endowment for the Arts sponsored restoration of Kern and Hammerstein's score include: I Won't Dance, Lonely Feet, Hand in Hand, Rolling on, Rolling Road, and My Beautiful Circus Girl.
Plays at the Eureka Theatre Nov 30 - Dec 18, 2012. For tickets call (415) 255-8207 or go to http://www.42ndstmoon.org
I saw this live! Fantastic! And the program notes told about all the research and detective work that it took to piece the "lost" musical back together. If you've see the movie "Carousel" you've seen a weak stepsister of this work. It has a dark ending which is possibly why it didn't become popular at the time. People wanted happier endings.
