WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Johnny Guitar the musical is set in a small town in the New Mexico mountains circa 1885. The story centers on Vienna, a sultry saloonkeeper who built a booming business "on her back." Though Vienna is the ultimate "bad girl gone good," her nemesis, the pent-up Emma, sees things differently. A domineering cattle tycoon, Emma controls the town with an iron fist but loses her grip when she falls for the dangerous hot-headed Dancin' Kid. By the time Johnny Guitar, a tall stranger with a secret past rolls into town, the stage is set for an epic showdown unlike anything the Old West or Off-Broadway has seen.
Kids under 16 are admitted FREE to ALL matinees with the purchase of a full price adult ticket.

Johnny Guitar is Nicholas Ray's stately-paced, low-budget western in which the square-jawed, square-shouldered Joan Crawford and the square-tongued Mercedes McCambridge square off for control of a small corner of Southwest territory that's about to be crossed by a railroad in what's shaping up as New Mexico. Cineastes who hash these things out might view the cult fave as one of those pre-feminist documents that set in motion femme-dominated works leading to today's Kill Bill strain of male-pandering chick flicks.
Now, composer-lyricist-director Joel Higgins, co-composer Martin Silvestri, and librettist Nicholas van Hoogstraten have had some fun in camping up the old Republic oater, which wa[...]
