Show Description - White Christmas:
The holidays, homecoming time - and for many, that means a WHITE CHRISTMAS. The all-time #1 pop song and most-recorded tune in history inspired first a beloved classic film, and now a brand-new old-fashioned family musical as rare as Texas snow. Borrowing liberally from the movie everyone loves and sprinkled with Irving Berlins best songs (Blue Skies,I Love a Piano,Count Your Blessings), this heartwarmer about two war veterans turned vaudeville hoofers, the songbird sisters they cant help but fall for, and the retired general whose upstate farm they all invade at Yuletide refreshes the TUTS tradition of a musical for all ages over the holidays youve been dreaming of a WHITE CHRISTMAS. Come dream along with us!

For the 2007-08 season, we set up offers for It's A Wonderful Life, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Drowsy Chaperone. These shows did not have student matinee performances available and have not been offered through other homeschool groups and are not available through BAA. On select performances we will be able to get a 20% discount. For these 3 test shows, we'll see what type of response we get and based on that, decide what shows, if any, will be offered for next season with TUTS.

Get ready to be transported to a magical, wonderful world! A world where the critics are in awe, the audiences are in heaven and the neighborhood is buzzing with excitement. Welcome to The Drowsy Chaperone, the new musical comedy that is swooping into town with tons of laughs and the most 2006 Tony Awards of any musical on Broadway! It all begins when a die-hard musical fan plays his favorite cast album, a 1928 smash hit called "The Drowsy Chaperone," and the show magically bursts to life. We are instantly immersed in the glamorous, hilarious tale of a celebrity bride and her uproarious wedding day, complete with thrills and surprises that take both the cast (literally) and the audience (metaphorically) soaring into the rafters.

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee - Wednesday, March 26, 2008 at 8:00 pm, Sunday, March 30, 2008 at 7:30 pm, Friday, April 4, 2008 at 8:00 pm, Sunday, April 6, 2008 and 7:30 pm - Deep Discount of 50%
In the Tony-Award winning new musical comedy THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn winning isn’t everything and losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
SPELLING BEE has been hailed by the Wall Street Journal as "perfect in every possible way – that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd pleaser." This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show offers audience members the opportunity (strictly voluntary) to become part of the action as on-stage spellers. The New York Times calls SPELLING BEE, "irresistible, riotously funny and remarkably ingenious – gold stars all around."
