2018 Nutmeg Summer Series

DISASTER!

CRT opens the 2018 Nutmeg Summer Series with Disaster! a hilarious new musical straight from Broadway. It’s 1979 and New York’s hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters including earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they’ve lost…or at least escape the killer rats. You’ll go wild for this hilarious homage to the disaster movies of the ‘70s, with some of the era’s most recognizable songs including “Knock on Wood”, “Hooked on a Feeling” and “I Am Woman”. CRT welcomes the co-writing team of the show, as Jack Plotnick will direct and three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky will reprise his original role.

Sweeney Todd

Three-time Tony Award-nominee and Artistic Director Terrence Mann returns to the CRT stage in the Tony-Award-winning tale of love, murder and revenge set against the backdrop of 19th century London. Sweeney Todd, an unjustly exiled barber, returns to London seeking vengeance against the lecherous Judge Turpin who framed him and ravaged his young wife. The road to revenge leads Todd to Mrs. Lovett, the resourceful proprietress of a failing pie shop, above which he opens a new barber practice. Mrs. Lovett’s luck sharply shifts when Todd’s thirst for blood inspires a new ingredient for her meat pies that has the people of London lining up…and the carnage has only just begun! This chilling masterpiece is sure to thrill and delight audiences.

Jesus Christ Superstar

The iconic rock opera based on the last week of Jesus’ life, Superstar has blown away audiences for over 40 years. A timeless work, set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally-known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. The incredible score featuring well-known songs as “Superstar”, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane”, get a fresh new vision from Artistic Director Terrence Mann and choreography Tony Award-nominee Christopher d’Amboise (CRT’s Newsies). This electric musical will captivate audiences and have everyone asking what’s the buzz?
