Celebration (With Credits)
Choose options
Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt’s 'Celebration' arrived at the Ambassador Theatre in 1969 as a striking, deeply experimental, and avant-garde musical allegory that served as the highly anticipated follow-up to their historic triumph with *The Fantasticks*. Discarding golden-era musical tropes to utilize a minimalist stage, a Greek chorus of masked orphans, and a percussion-heavy acoustic score, the plot unfolds on a winter night as a naive young orphan boy teams up with a disillusioned lounge singer to protect a beautiful secret garden from a corrupt, multi-million dollar capitalist. The historic production starred Keith Charles and Susan Watson.
