Edition 5 | 2018-2019
WELCOME FROM THE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTORS elcome to Paper Mill Playhouse and to the fairy- tale ending of our 80th anniversary season! We Ware happy to have you join us for this magical, timeless love story. We are already gearing up for our thrilling 2019–2020 season. We open with Chasing Rainbows: The Road to Oz, chronicling the early life and career of Judy Garland. This year marks the eightieth anniversary of her most memorable film,The Wizard of Oz, and this fascinating new show brings to life how she got there, replete with favorite songs from the era. Then we celebrate all things enchanted with Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, an enjoyable treat for the whole family with spells, glass slippers, and some very clever mice. The winter ushers in the world-premiere musical Unmasked: The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, showcasing the very best hits of arguably the most popular musical theater composer of all time, with personal anecdotes and glimpses into his artistic process. Relive the memories of Cats, Sunset Boulevard, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph…, and The Phantom of the Opera. Next up is the “divine” Broadway comedy smash Sister Act, based on the hit movie about a nightclub singer who’s taken up hiding in a convent after witnessing a murder. We close with The Wanderer, another world premiere launching at Paper Mill, about 1950s rock and roll sensation Dion DiMucci (and the Belmonts). Set to a score including “Runaround Sue,” “Teenager in Love,” and “I Wonder Why,” Dion’s extraordinary journey in the spotlight—and in the shadow of addiction—is told with honesty and heart.

But that didn't prepare me for the sheer comic zest and magnitude and Broadway musical savvy she brought to the recent revival of ‘Oklahoma!’ She tore the place apart and stopped the show as Ado Annie-- the best I'd ever seen-- and also brought to the role depth, sweet sensitivity and, well, joy. For that she won a richly-deserved Tony Award. I’m thrilled that she'll be appearing on the Playhouse stage and can't wait to see just what she does next, since Ali is a true one-of-a-kind star with all sorts of magic up her sleeve.” This past winter, Stroker starred in the Lifetime holiday film, “Christmas Ever After.” She made history as the first actor in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway in Deaf West’s acclaimed 2015 revival of “Spring Awakening.” She starred in 12 episodes of “The Glee Project,” culminating in a guest role on Fox’s “Glee.” She recurred in the ABC series, “Ten Days in the Valley,” and guest starred on CBS' “Blue Bloods,” Freeform's “The Bold Type,” Fox’s “Lethal Weapon,” CBS’ “Instinct,” The CW's “Charmed,” and Comedy Central's “Drunk History.” She recently co-wrote a novel, “The Chance to Fly,” which was released by Abrams Books.
