Trouble in Tahiti portrays the American Dream gone awry, as the perfect couple in the perfect house of the perfect suburb are unable to communicate with one another, while a jazzy trio cheerfully comments on the delights of suburban living.
In the sardonic Casino Paradise a sleepy seaside town falls prey to an unscrupulous gangster and his casino while his hilariously dysfunctional children worry about their own adjustment problems.
Sizzling music and singing that moves from jazz to Broadway to opera with panache: not to be missed!
Director: Nick Olcott
Music Director: Frank Conlon
Cast: Grace Gori, Will Heim, Brendan Sliger, Tara McCredie, Jase Parker, Scott Sedar, Laura Wehrmeyer
