Lincoln School Fall Musical: Something Royal( and Slightly Ridiculous) This Way Comes What can you expect from this
|
musical? An unorthodox princess who swims the moat to meet her man. A silent king with more personality than most who speak. A queen who would make Regina George look laid-back. Songs that swing from sweet lullabies to high-energy comic showstoppers. Opportunities for big ensemble numbers, silly physical comedy, heartfelt duets and characters who are a dream to play( especially if you love pratfalls). And at the center of it all? A bed. With a lot of mattresses. And one tiny legume that just might change everything. Fri. 7 p. m.; Sat. 2 p. m. Lincoln School, 301 Butler Ave., Providence, lincolnschool. org
