By Brian Yorkey & Tom Kitt. This groundbreaking and award-winning musical explores how one suburban family copes with crisis. With powerful lyrics and an electrifying pop-rock score of more than 30 songs, this intense, emotional and ultimately hopeful musical aims right for the heart with its story of a family coming to terms with its past and bravely facing its future. The Rep is among the first regional theaters in the United States to produce the show following its long Broadway run and National Tour. The Milwaukee production features the dynamic creative team behind last season’s smash-hit musical, Cabaret.
Featuring Niffer Clarke and Richard Carsey. Beyond the Ingénue pays homage to the golden-voiced sopranos Niffer Clarke grew up idolizing. These musical theatre icons endowed the ingénue--the ‘‘girl next door’’--with wit, spine and spirit. As their careers progressed, they also re-invented themselves, and their journeys have inspired Niffer on her own voyage of selfdiscovery and revelation. This will be an evening of glorious music, fun stories and Niffer’s amazing personal tales of touring with Shirley Jones!
