Celebrate Akron’s Bicentennial with a rare revival of the only Broadway musical that premiered right here in Akron 100 years ago, Dearest Enemy. The first musical comedy score by the famous team of Rodgers & Hart, this romantic comedy takes place in 1776, during the American Revolution, when Mary Lindley Murray detained British troops in Manhattan long enough to give George Washington time to move his vulnerable troops. Hailed by the New York Evening World as “wise and truly witty and genuinely romantic,” the score includes “Here in My Arms,” “Where the Hudson River Flows” and “Bye and Bye.” American Musical Productions’ special semi-staged concert production will feature a cast of 25 local favorites and an 18-piece orchestra, under the direction of Joseph Rubin. Don’t miss what the Akron Beacon Journal raved as “the biggest theatrical innovation on record here in the past 100 years!”
