2007 Season

Gilbert and Sullivan’s smart, snappy satire on the affectations of the late nineteenth century aesthetic movement is as relevant in today’s “politically correct” time as it was when written. Good G&S – good entertainment! Start the season by introducing someone new to the CLOC magic!

“76 Trombones Lead the Big Parade” in CLOC’s revival about con artist Harold Hill who pushes the need for children’s bands on small towns and absconds with the money that was to buy the instruments. Hit tunes include “Good Night My Someone,” “Good Night Ladies,” “My White Knight,” “Lida Rose,” “’Till There Was You.”

A tuneful score and witty libretto recreate the gaiety of turn-of-the-century Paris. Franz Lehar’s classic operetta, presented in English, is a perennial favorite of Highfield audiences.

Cole Porter and P. G. Wodehouse wrote this hilarious and tuneful romp set on the oceanliner S.S. America during an Atlantic crossing. Hit tunes include “You’re the Top,” “It’s Delovely,” “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “Anything Goes,” “Blow Gabriel Blow” and “All Through the Night.” Presented in the highly successful 1987 Lincoln Center revival version.

One of the most popular musical shows ever! CLOC’s 2007 company brings this great Gilbert and Sullivan back to Highfield with youth and verve! Favorite songs include “Poor Wandering One,” “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General” and “With Cat-like Tread!” CLOC’s national reputation for traditional Gilbert & Sullivan makes this a show not to be missed.

This smash hit of the 1960 Broadway season received eight Tony nominations – winning four,  including Best Musical. Remember when Elvis was being drafted in the 1950s? Meet Conrad Birdie – a rock and roll singer in a similar predicament. His pre-induction  misadventures in Sweet Apple, Ohio are told in a very funny book and delightful score that includes “Put on a Happy Face,” “A Lot Of Livin’ To Do” and “Kids.”

The classic show-biz story of the would-be chorus girl from back home who comes to New York and becomes a star by saving the show! The parade of hits includes “We’re In the Money,” “Lullabye of Broadway,” “About a Quarter to Nine” and “Shuffle Off to Buffalo.”

Based on Voltaire’s famous story, Bernstein’s glittering 1956 Broadway musical debunks the platitude that “all is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.” Songs include “Oh Happy We,” “Make Our Garden Grow,” “It Must Be So,” “I Am Easily Assimilated” and “Glitter and Be Gay.”

Set in 1911 in India and England and based on the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett (a favorite of millions around the world), the musical celebrates the healing power of love and the miracle of rebirth. Songs include “Lily’s Eyes,” ”A Bit of Earth,” and “How Could I Ever Know.”
