{{ViewModel.PrimaryBtn.Title}}

A groundbreaking musical in its time, Allegro is one of the unappreciated gems of the Rodgers and Hammerstein repertoire. In the tradition of last season's 110 In The Shade, Eric Schaeffer directs a revised, revitalized and re-imagined version of this forgotten classic. In Our Town style, this groundbreaking musical explored one man's life and times - in a way still fresh and timely today. With new orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick and a revised book by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), Allegro brings the world a new Rodgers & Hammerstein musical as only Signature can!

Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics and Book by Oscar Hammerstein II
Book Adapted by Joe DiPietro
New Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
Directed by Eric Schaeffer
