Broadway's Bad Boys
“Broadway’s Bad Boys,” a concert of mischievous songs made famous by musical theatre’s iconic villains, will be presented by Westport Country Playhouse for five performances only, from Thursday, January 23 through Sunday, January 26.
“Broadway’s Bad Boys” will bring to the Playhouse stage such notorious characters as the Phantom from “The Phantom of the Opera,” Fiyero from “Wicked,” the Beast from “Beauty and the Beast,” and, in between, a little Harold Hill from “The Music Man.” Songs celebrating scoundrels that audiences love to hate will include “Fugue for Tinhorns” from “Guys and Dolls,” “Out There” from Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” and “Heart” from “Damn Yankees.”
Represented in the revue with their most rebellious renderings will be renowned Broadway musical composers George Gershwin, from his score for “An American in Paris,” Eric Idle (“Spamalot”), Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Hamilton”), Stephen Schwartz (“Wicked”), Marc Shaiman (“Catch Me If You Can”), and Stephen Sondheim (“Into the Woods”), among many others.
Tickets are $35 to $65. Running time is 90 minutes, including one intermission. The concert is recommended for age 7 and up, and is family friendly.
Performance schedule is Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.; Saturday at 2 and 7 p.m.; and Sunday at 2 p.m.
