The Best is Yet to Come opens at Rubicon Theatre
Time for a road trip up to the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura for their current musical - The Best is Yet to Come: The Music of Cy Coleman, with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Dorothy Fields, Peggy Lee, Carolyn Leigh, Joseph McCarthy, Michael Stewart and David Zippel.
In a career spanning seven decades, Cy Coleman created a glittering string of standards, as well as hits for the stage from musicals like City of Angels, Sweet Charity, Barnum, The Life and Will Rogers Follies. Tony® Award-winning writer and director David Zippel pays homage to Coleman with an elegant new musical revue starring David Burnham, Jason Graae, Sally Mayes, Julia Murney, Billy Stritch and Lillias White, accompanied by an eight-piece swing band. The sparkling score also includes pop hits made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Barbra Streisand, and a few as-yet unpublished Coleman surprises. With this cast, it should be quite a performance!
