Performances are Thursday through Saturday evenings @ 8:00 PM with matinees on Sundays and Saturday, October 24. Tickets can be Ordered Online by Clicking here or by calling 972-252-2787. THE ROAD TO QATAR is based on the hysterical real life experience of two New York musical theater writers being commissioned to write the first American musical to premiere in the Middle East. Three years ago both book writer/lyricist Stephen Cole and composer David Krane (who did not know each other at the time) simul- taneously received emails that read: "We want you write musical. How much?" Thus began an unbelievable but true journey that introduced the two "short Jews" to an alien world of camels, deserts and crazy Egyptian theatrical producers. During the course of this sensational Arab adventure, Stephen and David starred in their own personal Bob Hope-Bing Crosby "road picture" that took them to Dubai, Qatar, London, Bratislava and back to the USA after writing and presenting a huge original musical for the Emir of Qatar and one thousand of his invited guests. When they returned, they had no other choice but to write their story in the only way they knew how: as a musical! The names have all been changed, but the story is totally true. For the world premiere, Lyric Stage has assembled a wonderful cast and creative team. After his triumph last season as Fiorello LaGuardia in Lyric Stage's FIORELLO!, Brian Gonzales (Bway's Putnam County Spelling Bee) returns to Lyric Stage as Michael (Cole) and Lee Zarrett (Bway's Putnam County Spelling Bee) as Jeffrey (Krane). Jill Abramovitz (Bway's 9 to 5 The Musical and Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, Bill Nolte (Bway's The Producers) and Bruce Warren complete the cast. Phillip George (Forbidden Broadway) directs with music direction by David Caldwell. Scenic and costume de- sign is by Michael Bottari and Ronald Case , lighting design is by Susan A. White and sound design is by Bill Eickenloff. Margaret J. Soch is Production Stage Manager.
