In this hilarious comedy by the author of LEND ME A TENOR
and MOON OVER BUFFALO, two English Shakespearean actors,
Jack and Leo, find themselves down on their luck. 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.
“Ludwig’s newest farce is so funny, it will make
sophisticated and reasonable men and women of the 21st
century cackle till their faces hurt.”

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.

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.”
