Where: Jaqua Concert Hall, The Shedd Institute, 868 High Street, Eugene
Details: Continuing The Shedd Institute’s commitment to reviving gems from the Golden Age of Musical Comedy, Shedd Theatricals’ 17th season opens with Roberta, Otto Harbach’s 1933 stage adaptation of Alice Duer Miller’s charming novel published that same year, Gowns By Roberta. The story is as much romance as comedy, with plenty of intrigue, star-crossed loving and Russian royalty in disguise mixed in with simply great songs by Harbach and the always masterful Jerome Kern. His fabulous score by Kern includes “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,” “Lovely To Look At,” “Yesterdays,” “I Won’t Dance,” “You’re Devastating,” “The Touch Of Your Hand,” and “I’ll Be Hard To Handle.”
Tickets: $36, $30, $24 (individual package, group, youth/college discounts available)
