              Something Rotten - Friday June 24,2022
              Welcome to the 90’s― the 1590’s ―where brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom
              are desperate to write a show that will rival the Renaissance Rock star of the
              day, William Shakespeare. This star-lit, big-hit show tells the story of the
              Bottom brothers as they attempt to write the world’s very first musical.
              Nominated for nine Tony Awards, SOMETHING ROTTEN! is a hysterical ode
              to musicals and an uproarious dose of pure Broadway fun. Your sides will
ache from laughter! (Runs 6/22-7/2/22)

              A Chorus Line -     Friday August 5th,2022
             ONE SINGULAR SENSATION… A CHORUS LINE!! Exploring the inner lives
             and poignant ambitions of professional Broadway gypsies, the show
             features one powerhouse number after another, capturing the spirit and
             tension of a Broadway chorus audition. Memorable musical numbers
             include “What I Did for Love, “One,” “I Can Do That,” “At the Ballet,”
“The Music and the Mirror,” and “I Hope I Get It.” A brilliantly complex fusion of
song, dance, and compellingly drama, A CHORUS LINE is instantly recognized as a
classic and has been an audience favorite for decades

       Pre-registration is required. Please contact the Edison Senior
               Center at 732-248-7345 to reserve your seats.
