Terris Theatre opens season with ‘A Complicated Woman’
Goodspeed Musicals’ Terris Theatre kicks off its 2024 season with “A Complicated Woman,” which opens Friday.
The musical is inspired by John Kenley (1906-2009), a theater impresario who lived a double life. In his career life, he populated the summer stock stages in Ohio with such big-screen luminaries as Gene Kelly and Ann Miller. During the winter, he spent time in Florida … as Jean. Goodspeed stated that the show features a Golden Age score and a gender-diverse cast.
“A Complicated Woman” boasts a book by Ianne Fields Stewart, music by Jonathan Brielle, and lyrics by Sam Salmond and Brielle.
Directing the Terris production is Jeff Calhoun, whose Broadway credits include “Newsies” and “Bonnie & Clyde.”
“A Complicated Woman,” Friday-June 2, Terris Theatre, 33 North Main St., Chester; 2 and 7:30 p.m. Wed., 7:30 p.m. Thurs., 8 p.m. Fri., 3 and 8 p.m. Sat., and 2 p.m. Sun.; also 2 p.m. on select Thursdays and 6:30 p.m. on select Sundays; tickets are $20 and up; season tickets available for three shows start at $117; (860) 873-8668, goodspeed.org.
