 WONDERFUL TOWN, WONDERFUL  CAST

River Valley Players Community Dinner Theatre is pleased to announce the cast of WONDERFUL TOWN.  Based on the play “My Sister Eileen,” this hidden gem features a soaring score by Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story, Candide, On the Town) and smart, funny lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green (On the Town, Bells Are Ringing, Singin’ In the Rain-screenplay). Set in the summer of 1935, Wonderful Town tells the story of Ruth and Eileen, two sisters, who leave behind their mundane lives in Ohio for Greenwich Village in the pursuit of their dreams.  Chock-full of swinging show tunes, breathtaking choreography, and effervescent charm, Wonderful Town captures the thrill of chasing one’s dreams like no other musical. Join RVP as they celebrate the opening of their Forty-Third Season. Keep up-to-date by liking and following RVP on Facebook and Instagram!
