WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In December 1888, a young French intern in Arles admitted a patient suffering from delirium and a self-inflicted knife wound. Dr. Felix Rey was convinced he could cure this unusual patient, a Dutch painter named Vincent van Gogh, of his "nervous condition." Set to an intensely beautiful socre, this is the story of a provincial doctor's discovery of art and prostitution, and his unexpected encounter with madness versus genius, love versus obsession and what we ultimately give up in order to hold on to what we find most precious. Featuring music and lyrics by Michael John LaChiusa and a book by John Strand. Directed by Eric Schaeffer. Starring Jason Danieley, Marc Kudisch and Judy Kuhn.
No performances: Tuesday, November 9 or Thursday, November 25.
A special Thanksgiving Holiday performance is scheduled for Monday, November 22.

As painter Vincent Van Gogh left behind the world that most of us inhabit and climbed deeper into his art, he scaled back his use of murky hues, utilizing only the brightest, purest tones in swirls of agreeable contrasts. Van Gogh was always searching for the brightest light to paint by, finding what he called "the highest yellow" -- the tone that he felt most vividly expresses faithfulness, joy, and love, the very essence of life -- in Arles, France. And that's where we meet him, circa 1888-89, in Signature Theatre's lyrically beautiful world premiere presentation of The Highest Yellow.
The first musical commissioned by the acclaimed Arlington, Virginia theater company -- from a concept [...]
