Celebration

Patio Playhouse presents the world premiere of the newly revised musical Celebration by I Do! I Do! and The Fantasticks authors Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones. Originally presented on Broadway in 1969, the show was named as one of the Best Plays of the year by Burns/Mantle. The score was widely praised by critics, but the authors felt the play needed revision and updating.

An angel who wants to be a rock star and an orphan who has a score to settle come together on New Year’s Eve at the mansion of the world’s richest man. Despite the ritual battle between young and old, winter and summer, birth and death, everyone finds a reason for celebration in this musical, which is being directed by Kevin Jones.
