HPCT's 34th Season

Mark your calendars for our exciting 2009-2010 Season. Audition information for Seussical coming soon.

Seussical the Musical
Music by Stephen Flaherty
Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens
Book by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty
Based on the stories of Dr. Seuss

Based on several stories by beloved children’s author Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Seussical, the Musical tells the story of Horton the Elephant’s heroic efforts to save the tiny people of Whoville. Featuring characters ranging from the Grinch and Gertrude McFuzz to Yertle the Turtle and the Wickersham Brothers to the Cat in the Hat, Seussical brings the world of Dr. Seuss delightfully to life. Experience the joy of “The Thinks You Can Think”; see how “Amazing Mayzie” grew her incredible tail of feathers; and know that, no matter what, you’re never “Alone in the Universe.” A magical journey for the entire family!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Based on the story of Joseph in the Book of Genesis

Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with its’ plot taken from the Book of Genesis, tells the story of Joseph, son of Jacob and the owner of the storied “coat of many colors.” The Narrator tells the story of Joseph (“a dreamer like you”) to a group of children, enlisting the help of Joseph and his brothers, Potiphar and Pharaoh, among others. With universal themes of forgiveness and hope, along with catchy and moving tunes such as “Jacob and Sons,” “Any Dream Will Do,” “Go, Go, Go Joseph” and “Close Every Door,” this upbeat musical entertains so well you’ll never realize it’s also teaching a lesson. HPCT’s performance in the beautiful sanctuary of Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church will be an experience not to be missed.

Nunsense
Music, lyrics and book by Dan Goggin

Nunsense tells the story of five of the remaining few Little Sisters of Hoboken (the others perished due to a tainted vichyssoise prepared by their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God). Faced with the necessity of raising money to pay for the burials of their deceased sisters, the nuns decide to mount a musical variety show to cover the costs. The performance—featuring songs such as “The Biggest Ain’t the Best,” “Tackle That Temptation With a Time Step,” “The Dying Nun Ballet” and “Nunsense is Habit-Forming,”—is slightly unorthodox, and entirely hilarious.
