Description
Twins…times two! Wild mishaps and musical mayhem are the name of the game, as Rodgers & Hart & Abbott take The Comedy of Errors to dizzying new heights in their 1938 musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s zaniest comedy. Antipholus and his wily servant Dromio travel to Ephesus in search of their respective twins, separated by shipwreck. Naturally they are immediately taken for their brothers—by perplexed wives, disgruntled courtesans, and outraged constables alike. Packed with gems from the Great American Songbook, this quintessential musical classic proves two may be a crowd, but four’s a comedy.
Red Bull Theater’s annual celebratory concert benefit explores the intersection of classical theater and the modern musical, and the
enduring versatility of the stories at the heart of our mission. And it’s a lot of fun!
This special event will raise funds for RED BULL THEATER, New York’s “most exciting classical theater” (Time Out), supporting our Off-Broadway productions, award-winning Revelation Reading series, and education and accessibility programs including Shakespeare in Schools.
