Musical Theater Happenings in Rochester

Interested in seeing some professional to semi-professional musical theater?  Here is some information on musicals coming to Rochester in the next few weeks.

Pride and Prejudice
This movie-based musical is coming to Eastman Theater on Tuesday, October 21st @ 7:30pm on its way to Broadway!  According to the website, tickets range from $35-75 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster, but they should have discounted student tickets at the door.  For more information, call the box office at 585-274-1100.

Edges
This awesome new musical by Pasek & Paul is playing in Toronto on Sunday and Monday evenings through November 10th. Tickets are ~$18 for students.  Check it out here.

Rooms
Geva Theater in downtown Rochester is performing this “rock romance” musical through October 26th. You can find the website here.

The Turn of the Screw
Not to be confused with Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, this opera “…was claimed to be one of the most dramatically appealing English operas,” according to Wikipedia.  Coming to Kilbourn Hall at Eastman on November 6th – 9th. More information can be found on the concert calendar and the RPO website.

MTC at SUNY Geneseo
The Musical Theater Club at SUNY Geneseo puts on a musical revue each semester, similar to our own.  Being an audition-exclusive group, I would say they’re a more dance intensive version of OBOC (youtube).  After some hunting, I believe their show runs from November 13th – 15th. More info to come!
