The classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music will end the year, playing Dec. 8-20, while the New Year will kick off with the Alain Boublil-Claude Michel-Schönberg musical Miss Saigon, which is scheduled for a Feb. 9-21, 2010 run.
Two national tours will conclude the TUTS season: Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific (March 9-21, 2010) and Little House on the Prairie (April 28-May 9, 2010).
In a statement TUTS President and CEO John C. Breckenridge said, "The quality and beauty of this lineup is something TUTS is very excited about. This is the type of season that exemplifies the soul of TUTS. The incomparable energy of Grease, beauty of South Pacific, the over-the-top production quality of Miss Saigon, and the quintessential nostalgia of The Sound of Music are all at the heart of why theatre is so emotionally impactful."
