Reprise! Broadway’s Best will present the Tony Award-winning musicals My One and Only, Sunday in the Park With George, and No Strings during its 2006-2007 season. Jim Gardia is producing director and Gerald Sternbach is musical director for this season. Performances take place at the UCLA Freud Playhouse.

My One and Only, to be directed and choreographed by Dan Mojica, will run September 5-17. It features the music of George and Ira Gershwin and a book by Peter Stone and Timothy S. Mayer, and tells the story of a love affair between an aviator and a championship swimmer.

Sunday in the Park With George will run January 30-February 11. The show, which won the Pulitzer Prize, has a score by Stephen Sondheim and a book by James Lapine. The first act revolves around French artist Georges Seurat and the creation of his signature painting “Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” while the second act focuses on Seurat’s great-grandson, an artist struggling with his own demons.

No Strings, to be directed by Kay Cole, will run May 8-20. Featuring a score by Richard Rodgers and a book by Samuel Taylor, the show tells the story of the doomed romance between a high fashion model and a writer in Paris.

Tickets to the shows are $60-$75 or $165-$195 for a three-show subscription. For more information, call 310-825-2101 or visit www.reprise.org.
