ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S THE 39 STEPS
NUNSET BOULEVARD
PENZANCE THE 39 OULEVARD GILBER JUST PLAIN FUN
There’s nothing quite like a good laugh in a dark theater.
Here’s three purveyors of just plain fun: one that champions a beloved tradition, one informed by a genius filmmaker who specialized in a good scare, and one burgeoning musical franchise — built around Catholic nuns!
Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps
Nunset Boulevard
A “gleefully theatrical riff on the film… fast and frothy…theater at its finest” (New York Times). This Hitchcock classic features 150 characters played by four actors, often executing their costume and set changes in front of the live audience. A three year run on Broadway and two Tony Awards later, The 39 Steps comes to Three Stages for its first extended run in the capital region. A bored pretty boy brings home a gorgeous spy; she is murdered in his flat and the mystery story is set in motion. “The great fun of The 39 Steps is its invention” (City Beat). Sponsored by Comstock Mortgage.
“The ‘nuns’ have done it again…sinfully funny laughs” (NBC News). This latest installment in the well-loved series of Nunsense musicals features the popular star of Laverne & Shirley. The Sisters are on their way to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, or so they believe. Alas, it’s actually the Hollywood Bowl-ARama. But wait! They learn of auditions for a new musical about Dolores Hart, the famous movie star who kissed Elvis and then became a nun! Will this be their big break? “Hilarious, wacky, and unpredictable!” (ABC News).
