  • Something Rotten! Sings
    Something Rotten! Sings Something Rotten! is brimming with countless references from some of the most beloved modern musicals throughout history. Jazz hands out! Below is a list of just some of our favorites from the show- stopping number “A Musical”. “Some musicals have no talking at all”: Several musicals are more akin to operas, possessing no spoken dialogue, including Les Misérables, Jesus Christ Superstar, Rent and several others. “I believe it’s called ‘Miser-ahh-bluh’”: This is directly referring to Les Misérables, with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, original French lyrics by Alain Boubil and Jean-Marc Natel and an English libretto by Herbert Kretzmer. “Feel that fascinating rhythm move into your feet”: These lyrics are from George and Ira Gershwin’s “Fascinating Rhythm,” which was first included in the Broadway musical Lady Be Good in 1924 with Fred and Adele Astaire. “It’s a musical, a Seussical?”: Seussical was a musical that debuted on Broadway in 2000 and was based on the books of Dr. Seuss. Stephen Flaherty independently composed the music and co-wrote the book with Lynn Ahrens, who also wrote the lyrics. Sailor Hats: During “A Musical,” Nostradamus and the chorus men don sailor hats, which harkens to several nautical-themed musicals, including South Pacific, Anything Goes, On the Town and Dames at Sea. “All That Jazz” Number: This number comes from the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Chicago, featuring the iconic Broadway choreography of Bob Fosse. “525,600 Minutes” Excerpt: This moment comes from the song “Seasons of Love” from Jonathan Larson’s Rent, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1996.

  • An Evening of Ahrens & Flaherty
    1 In this Ahrens & Flaherty tribute show, Kittredge, Marcovicci, and Rybeck deliver an enchanting evening of gloriously funny and poignant songs from the ever-growing Ahrens and Flaherty canon. Between bouts of warm, personal patter, Ann’s richly-mined characters seem to step directly out of their lives and onto the stage. Stage professionals, cabaret lovers, and casual theatergoers alike will appreciate Ann’s skillful display of talent, and find it hard to leave the theater without a rekindled warmth in their hearts. But why just tell you about it? See for yourself in this compilation: (A COMPILATION OF) AN EVENING OF AHRENS & FLAHERTY BOOKING INFORMATION Email: [email protected] ​ Website: AnnKittredge.com ​ 2 FANCY MEETING YOU HERE An Evening of Ahrens & Flaherty with Ann Kittredge In this tribute show, Ann breathes life into a wide breadth of characters from Ragtime, ​ ​ Anastasia, Once Upon This Island, and so many other Ahrens and Flaherty favorites. Before ​ ​ ​ we even consider their shared background, it’s clear that performer, lyricist, and composer go hand in hand (in hand). Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty are stylistically unbridled, their body of work so beautifully varied. Their honest renditions of humanity demand nothing less than a full embodiment of character, relying equally on the performer’s storytelling and vocal capabilities. As a “vocal chameleon”1 and “story-songstress supreme,”2 Ann is the perfect conduit for such an oeuvre. These three artists share a simple, yet profound understanding: there must be as many different ways to expose the human heart as there are human hearts to expose.
