Joyful Noise

Set in London, 1741 JOYFUL NOISE is a new play with music written by Timothy Slover. After a successful run at the Lamb’s Players Theatre in San Diego, director Robert Smyth brings to the New York stage the remarkable story of George Fredrick Handel’s Messiah and the passion and politics that nearly prevented its debut performance. Performed on a simple set with an elaborately costumed cast featuring Tom Stephenson as Handel and Mary Miller and Deborah Gilmore as soloists Susannah Cibber and Kitty Clive.
