SCR and GBS-a relationship that has wowed theatre audiences with stellar productions and endless awards. Now the fun begins anew and Shaw is at his mischievous best, turning his sharp wit to the relationship between parents and children. While the elders argue ideas and morals, the younger generation longs for action, adventure, love and independence. Especially Hypatia, tired of all the talk and ready for something to happen. Finally it does.

Broadway's latest mega-hit is set in the Victorian era, just before its corseted women shed their inhibitions. A new electric invention has been introduced to the medical world. Dr. Givings, one of its early champions, marvels at the effect it has on patients suffering from "female hysteria," while in the adjoining room, his own wife yearns for another kind of intimacy. This funny, tender and illuminating play has generated excitement from East Coast to West.

From their first blind date, which includes an unscheduled visit to the police station, these 30-somethings, along with the newlyweds who set them up, surprise us-and themselves-in a comedy thriller The New York Times called "as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage!"

Wicked
Saturday, April 2, 2011 at 2 p.m.
[
O. C. Performing Arts Center ]

Entertainment Weekly calls Wicked "the best musical of the decade," and when it first played the Center in 2006, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards®, Wicked is Broadway's biggest blockbuster, a cultural phenomenon and was just named "the defining musical of the decade" by The New York Times.

Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One -- born with emerald green skin -- is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for "the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time" (USA Today).
