On Friday, May 21st, and Saturday, May 22nd, First Parish in Needham will present Ruddigore, Gilbert and Sullivan's madcap musical romp through the English seaside in 1815, replete with haunted castles, fair maidens, ghosts coming out of ancestral portraits, and a madwoman stalking the graveyard! The curtain rises at 7:30 pm both nights.
“Ruddigore has some of the wittiest, most memorable numbers ever sung, and it’s tied together with the brilliant, absurd satire that has made Gilbert and Sullivan such a staple of musical theater,” said Vivian Montgomery, co-director of the production.
“The characters are Gilbert and Sullivan masterpieces, and there is a classic, inimitable plot twist that frees them all from gloom and doom” Montgomery continues. “Along the way, they take jabs at the wedding industry, tax codes, lawyers, opera, and idyllic village life. It’s a delight for all ages.
Admission is $10 for adults and $7 for students, and tickets can be purchased online, at the Parish Office, or during coffee hour after Sunday services. First Parish is located just off the town square at 23 Dedham Ave (route 135). Please enter through the Lincoln Street doors. There is ample parking in the town lot off of Lincoln Street. For more information, go to www.uuneedham.org or call the Parish office at 781-444-0823.
