At turns introspective, romantic, and joyously hopeful, 110 IN THE SHADE is a poignant look at romance in a drought-stricken Depression-era town. Sharp-witted but insecure, rancher’s daughter Lizzie is resolving herself to live out life as a spinster until charming stranger Starbuck comes to town with the promise to make it rain, encouraging Lizzie to dream beyond her own view of herself. Meanwhile, the town Sheriff must deal with the con man as well as coming to terms with his own past. This beautiful show boasts a score by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones (best known for the longest-running musical in history, THE FANTASTICKS).
“It is such a privilege to be able to tell the incredible story of 110 IN THE SHADE,” said Director Josh Marx. “Not only is this a story about enduring hope through trying times, but it also talks about finding beauty in unconventional places - and what it means to in fact ‘be beautiful’. The cast and designers for this project are absolutely stellar, and we are geared up for this to be a truly remarkable experience and an incredible show.”
Based N. Richard Nash’s acclaimed 1954 play THE RAINMAKER (the basis for the 1956 film starring Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn), 110 IN THE SHADE features music by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones (THE FANTASTICKS), and a book by Nash adapted from his own play. 42nd Street Moon’s production of 110 IN THE SHADE will be directed by Josh Marx and choreographed by Scottie Watson, with Music Direction by Dave Dobrusky.
110 IN THE SHADE runs about two hours and thirty minutes, including one intermission.
