"It has been a life-long dream of mine to direct this show," said the play's director Samuel Ahn-Cooper, director of drama and speech at Tenafly High School. "There is so much love, heart-ache and passion behind the music and the story still resonates today as much as ever. I am extremely happy to give these students the chance to be part of such an important part of musical theater history."
Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the school's Collins-Tall Auditorium, 19 Columbus Drive. Ticket prices range from $15 to $25 and can be purchased at the door or in advance at tenaflytheatre.com.
