This Tony Award-winning musical, based on the popular Disney film, is toe-tapping fun for the entire family!

By Alan Menken (Music), Jack Feldman (Lyrics), Harvey Fierstein (Book). Based on the Disney film written by Bob Tzudiker and Noni White.

Even among the pantheon of music’s finest artists, Del McCoury stands alone. From the nascent sound of bluegrass that charmed hardscrabble hillbilly honkytonks, rural schoolhouse stages, and the crowning glory of the Grand Ole Opry, to the present-day culture-buzz of viral videos and digital streams, Del is the living link. On primetime and late-night television talk shows, there is Del. From headlining sold-out concerts to music festivals of all genres, including one carrying his namesake, there is Del. Where audiences number in the tens of thousands, and admirers as diverse as country-rock icon Steve Earle and jamband royalty Phish count as two among hundreds, there is Del.

“I’m just doing what’s natural,” says Del. “When young musicians ask me what they should do I always tell them, ‘You do whatever’s inside of you. Do what you do best.”

Tickets are $50-$60: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/10388755

Rhiannon Giddens is an American artist of folk and traditional music, played on fiddle and banjo; Francesco Turrisi is an Italian pianist and percussionist well versed in jazz, early music, and Mediterranean music; at first blush, their worlds don’t overlap. But at a chance musical meet-up in Ireland they found that her 19th century American minstrel banjo tunes and his traditional Sicilian tamburello (tambourine) rhythms fit very naturally together. They soon discovered the reason for that – their respective roots coexisted in the past. Pictures of early minstrel bands depict the banjo and tambourine (called tambo) played together, with the tambo often being held in the same manner of the Southern Italian tamburello today.

The impact that West African music and dance have had upon American culture is by now well known, but centuries before, European music was being transformed by Arabic and North African modes, instruments, and rhythms. Working together, these two artists trace this musical globalism by reimagining the encounter of the banjo and the frame drum, and other instruments, through their journey from Africa, the Middle East, through southern Europe and England, and over to the Americas….
