Musical theater to be celebrated near Lebanon

A show in honor of the art form known as musical theater is coming to a venue near Lebanon.

“ROYAL Night on Broadway” will be produced by the ROYAL Theatre Company in Mason, a short distance from Lebanon. The show is not a traditional play, but a collection of tunes from Broadway shows performed by more than three dozen actors from the ROYAL Theatre. The evening is a celebration of the magic and inspiration found in musical theater, and will offer numbers from iconic productions, favorite shows, and current hits.

In addition, a special guest will be joining the show. Chris Lee, who has appeared on television and Broadway, will be performing. He starred in the roles of Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette in the smash hit “Hamilton.” He has also worked in television, and has moved from a recurring part to a regular on the series “Legacies.”

The show is directed by Dirk Doebereiner, choreographed by Maddi Kilgore, with Karen Kilgore handling the duties as production manager. The ROYAL Theatre seeks to instill a love of and appreciation for the performing arts in young people, as it mounts high-quality productions. It also holds workshops, camps, and classes

“ROYAL Night on Broadway” was scheduled for January 22, 2021, but has been postponed until May 7, 2021, and could be moved again if health regulations require such action. Poster printing can be used to create colorful advertising for this type of event.
