The Cherry Orchard: A new musical based on Anton Chekhov's Play

It is always exciting when a new musical can be produced. This finished version of "The Cherry Orchard" has had years of being refined, polished and rewritten until the author was satisfied. For a musical to work successfully there are several elements that must be present: the story, the actions that the characters have upon each other, music and lyrics which create mood, drama and humor. The "Cherry Orchard" has all of this. The script of "The Cherry Orchard" has a wonderful flow and always keeps the viewer interested in the next moment. The score expands that enjoyment. It is rare to have one person who has the multi/ talents to compose music and lyrics. Some of the greats of past years have been Stephen Sondheim, Irving Berlin, Jerry Herman, Cole Porter and Frank Loesser. Someday the name of Robert Roberson will be added to the list. Don Pippin is a Broadway musical director who has been awarded the Tony Award, the Emmy Award and the Drama Desk Award for his excellence in the theatre. He has been guest conductor for many of the world's major symphony orchestras and composed the score for several successful off-Broadway musicals.
