Annie
July 20, 2011 - August 6, 2011
Leapin' Lizards, Annie's back! It's been 24 years since Moonlight has presented ANNIE in its main stage season with an adult cast, an adorable company of little girls, and one cute pup. One of the world's best-loved musicals about the comic strip heroine is a fun-filled adventure and is perfect summertime entertainment the entire family will love. Although Annie's "hard knock life" has its challenges, this scrappy orphan refuses to let her circumstances get her down. Pretty soon this rags to riches kid captures the heart of everyone from Daddy Warbucks to Franklin Roosevelt. Boasting one of Broadway's most memorable scores, including It's the Hard Knock Life, Easy Street, N-Y-C, and the cheerily optimistic Tomorrow, the Tony Award-winning Annie is filled with delightful comedy and a bracing dose of optimism.

The Light in the Piazza
April 20, 2011 - May 8, 2011
Many of the lyrics are in Italian or broken English, as many of the characters are fluent only in Italian. The six-time Tony Award-winning Piazza combines the romance of Italy with a passionate love story.
Margaret Johnson, a woman escaping her crumbling marriage, is traveling in Tuscany with her daughter, Clara. When a handsome young Florentine captures Clara's heart, Margaret must decide if she'll risk revealing truths that could threaten her daughter's happiness.

The Fantasticks
February 10, 2011 to April 3, 2011
Talk about a time-proven audience-pleaser! "Try To Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world. "The Fantasticks" is the longest-running musical production in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication are a purity and simplicity that transcend cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.

"Joyous...non-stop pleasure...The best show yet from the most creative mind in the musical theater today."
- Time Magazine
New Village Arts presents their first musical production! Once Upon a Time...a baker and his wife embark on a quest into the woods, to fulfill the witch next door's request and lift a curse that has kept them from having a child. Along the way, they meet Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), Cinderella, two handsome princes and a motley assortment of other characters, all on quests of their own. Stephen Sondheim's enormously popular musical answers the question of what really happens after "happily ever after" and includes some of the most beautiful songs in the musical theatre canon, including "Giants in the Sky", "Children Will Listen" and "No One Is Alone."
