The Rock and the RabbiDallas Summer Musicals’ Broadway Contemporary Series Presents North Texas Premiere of National Tour March 7-12, 2006, at The Majestic Theatre
Single tickets to THE ROCK & THE RABBI are on sale now at The Box Office, 542 Preston Royal Shopping Center, priced from $12-$50. Discounts are available for groups of 20 or more by calling 214-426-GROUP. Tickets are also available at area Ticketmaster locations including The Majestic Theatre Box Office, or by calling 214-373-8000, or online at www.ticketmaster.com. There is a surcharge for all Ticketmaster purchases. The heart of this theatrical production is the storytelling. The reality of the historical account is presented though the power of the spoken word and the music that it inspires. The Storyteller recounts his adventures with The Rabbi; from fishing on the Sea of Galilee, to the agony of the Cross, to the Miracle of the ages. The music features acoustic guitars, Irish and African drums, accordion and bagpipes and is some of the most powerful and memorable in theatre today. “What do you say about a show featuring a dozen gifted and funny musicians, an upbeat and joyful storyteller, and the most excellent story ever told? SEE IT!,” says George Flores, Musical Director, WWDJ 970AM, New York City; and “I was amazed by THE ROCK & THE RABBI - the simplicity, the story and the TRUTH presented. I left wishing I had brought friends and family members to the performance. OUTSTANDING!,” says Chris Kaiser, Northeast Oklahoma Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The script was written by Gary Richardson, and the music and lyrics by Danny Hamilton. THE ROCK & THE RABBI debuted at Clearwater, Florida’s Ruth Eckerd Hall in 1998. Then with outpouring support from the community, in November 2002 THE ROCK & THE RABBI made the Plaza Theatre in Orlando, Florida home for nearly three years. Now, from one of the producers of the 6-time Tony® Award-winning Broadway musical THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and the 3-time 2005 Tony® Award-winner including Best Musical - Monty Python’s SPAMALOT, Larry Payton, founder of Destiny Productions along with his wife Kay, is making it possible for people all over the world to see and be impacted by this incredible show.
