The Paramount Theatre will present the fourth installment in its 30 Center Stage Theatre Development Series: two semi-staged performances of a new musical in development, “Garbo and Me”, with book, music and lyrics by husband and wife team Joshua Rosenblum and Joanne Sydney Lessner. Presentations will be Friday, Aug. 6, and Saturday, Aug, 7. Both performances will be at 8 p.m. All open-seating tickets are $10. “Garbo and Me” features 1998 Miss America and star of Broadway’s “Legally Blonde”, Kate Shindle, as the elusive Garbo. Ron Bohmer, father in the recent Broadway revival of “Ragtime”, plays matinee idol John Gilbert, with Neal Mayer as movie mogul Louis B. Mayer, and “9 to 5”’s Jill Abramovitz as gossip columnist Louella Parsons. In her dramatic journey from Swedish schoolgirl to Hollywood legend to New York recluse, Garbo kept the world in her thrall. But behind her glamorous screen persona was an insecure country girl yearning for the snows of her homeland and the one true love she left behind. With a jazzy, sultry score by the composer of Bush is Bad and the writing team behind “Fermat’s Last Tango”, “Garbo and Me” traces the elusive film icon as she conquers the studio system, negotiates the tabloid minefield, and juggles a string of lovers, both male and female, while struggling to protect her cherished privacy. For more information about “Garbo and Me” call the Parmount Theatre Box Office at 802-775-0903.
