When they hear that an old lady is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. When they arrive they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Their only option is to become, LEADING LADIES.

A late middle aged zoo attendant still has lingering visions of being a songwriter, and these hopes are buoyed by his mistress who lives downstairs. On the day the Pope is making his first visit to New York, the mistress talks him into calling his old school chum, now a big Hollywood producer, for a job writing music for films. At the same time his son comes home AWOL from Fort Dix carrying a bomb with which he intends to blow up the Pope. In the meantime the jiffy wagon is to come and take away his cuckoo wife (Bananas). At about the same time three sightseeing nuns drop in from the roof while trying to get a glimpse
of the Pope. House of Blue Leaves was Winner of the 1971 Critics Award and the Obie Award as Best American Play.

This fun Fairy tale begins with the annual stockholders’ meeting and election of officers of a colossal manufacturing empire called General Products. The
election is going smoothly and the meeting is about over when a timid old lady who owns 10 shares asks if she can ask a question. She has read every page of the annual report and she wants to know why the chairman of the board is being paid $170,000 a year. The corrupt new officers try every tactic they can think of to quiet the little old lady, including giving her a job, but through all of it she perseveres in trying to hold the company accountable for its actions.

“…Another big hit…riotously funny roles. - NY

When a Baker and his Wife learn they’ve been cursed by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. This hilarious musical was the winner of 3 Tony Awards including Best Score and Best Book.

“Total enchantment. A spellbounding score, witty enough to make old stories fresh for adults, lovely enough to enchant youngsters.”
