WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A rendezvous without a chaperone? Two Oxford chaps run into trouble when they try to woo their ladies without proper supervision. Hilarious misunderstandings arise when Charley's "aunt" drops by for a visit, setting off a chain of unexpected antics. Sing along with this cheerfully energetic, Tony Award-winning musical packed with Frank Loesser hits: "Once in Love with Amy," "My Darling, My Darling,"Where's Charley?" and more!
The show stars Noah Racey as Charles Wykeham, and is directed by the
Oscar, Emmy and Tony Award-winning Tony Walton.
