Irving Berlin's White Christmas (click here

This
heart-warming, toe-tapping stage production of
"White Christmas" is based on the classic
holiday movie with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye,
Rosemary Clooney &Vera Ellen, with a few
more of Irving Berlin's timeless hits added in.
Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a
successful song-and-dance act after World War
II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo
of beautiful singing sisters en route to their
Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just
happens to be owned by Bob and Phil's former
army commander.

Elton John & Tim Rice's AIDA (click here for photos)
The
Broadway musical that won five Tony Awards,
including Best Musical Score and Best Actress,
came to the local stage at Lee High School for
its first ever production in Huntsville. The
musical tells the story of the opera "Aida,"
based on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," in
very modern terms. The eclectic musical score
has hints of reggae, Motown, and Gospel. It also
relies on a strong influence of African music
and modern pop style numbers, but it is most
touching in the more reflective moments given to
Aida, the dignified Nubian princess.

The
Lee High School Senior Vocal Lab presented "Godspell"
in November, 2008. "Godspell" (an archaic spelling of
the word gospel) was written in 1970 by Stephen
Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak. It has played in
regional theaters worldwide ever since. The musical
is based on a series of parables taken primarily from
the Gospel of Matthew, including the crucifixion and
resurrection of Jesus.
