The UL Lafayette Opera Theatre is thrilled to be presenting Maury Yeston’s new musical, Death Takes a Holiday this spring in Burke-Hawthorne Hall.
The musical runs on March 21, 22 and 23 at 7:30PM and March 24 at 3PM. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at pfar.louisiana.edu . Tickets are $15 for individuals and $5 for people under 18. They are also free for UL Lafayette students, faculty and staff.
The musical was written and performed off-Broadway in 2011 and UL Lafayette is the first place to do this wonderful new piece since closing in New York. Based on an Italian play and a 1934 movie of the same name, it tells the story of the “grim reaper” himself deciding to take a holiday at an Italian villa for the weekend. As he discovers life, the inhabitants of the villa also discover their own personal joys and love and romance
abound all around.
Surrounded by a beautiful, lyric musical score and script by Thomas Meehan and Peter Stone, Death Takes a Holiday is an adventure not to be missed in this Lafayette premiere!
This production is being directed by Shawn Roy, with musical direction by David Boudreaux.
