Featuring the beloved music of Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), this stunning new musical
reminisces on the heartrending story of one couple and the bond that began when they
met in their youth. Now, after 20 years of marriage, these empty nesters are forced to come
to terms with the ups and downs of their time together as they confront the living memories
of their relationship and how it has changed. With familiar songs that have been revamped
by Schwartz, including “Popular” (Wicked), “All Good Gifts” (Godspell), and “That’s How You
Know” (Disney’s Enchanted), this 2005 Village Original is a charming, funny, and all-toofamiliar look at life and love.
Proclaimed by The New York Times as “The perfect musical,” revel in the story of a lowly
Cockney flower girl as she transforms into a sophisticated lady—with the help of a linguistics
teacher who will get a bit more than he bargained for. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s play
Pygmalion, this beloved musical boasts a score of hummable classics such as “Wouldn’t It
Be Loverly?” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” and “On The Street Where You Live.” With
all the wit and charm of the Tony Award-winning Broadway hit and the Academy Awardwinning movie, My Fair Lady is a joyful and inspiring journey of love and self-discovery.
Winner of the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this Southern gothic comedy tells the plight
of three sisters in 1975 rural Mississippi. Babe has just shot her husband, apparently
because she didn’t like his looks. Meg is back in town after a failed attempt in the music
business. And poor Lenny – in the midst of it all, everyone has neglected her 30th birthday.
Thrown back together for the first time in years, these dysfunctional sisters are forced to
find a way to change their luck and repair their family, as well as their lives. Honest, with a
healthy dose of witty humor, Crimes of the Heart is a moving portrait of family love.
This inspiring new musical is the story of a young woman from a small village in Ghana
and the lengths she will go to realize her dreams. It seems that life is conspiring against
Efua Kuti, as her family farm struggles and her education is denied in order to make room
for a sudden arranged marriage. But when she risks everything to set off for the big city,
the dangers are beyond anything Efua could have dared to imagine. Full of driving African
rhythms and rich with spirit, this new musical is a celebration of strength and courage that
will take your breath away.
Winner of 10 Tony Awards and complete with an electrifying score by music legend
Elton John, this spectacular show has the heart, humor, and passion to be named Time
Magazine’s “Best Musical of the Decade.” Amidst the chaos of the 1984 miners’ strike in
northern England, follow Billy’s journey as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a
ballet class where he discovers a passion for dance that inspires his family and community—
while changing his life forever. Based on the smash-hit film, Billy Elliot is an astonishing
theatrical experience that will stay with you forever.

Synopsis
It’s New York City in the early 1960s – a time of relative innocence at the beginning of a
tumultuous decade. Detective Morris Brummell is stuck in a rut, living at home with his
unimpressed mother and in desperate need of a life. Across town, failed actor Christopher
“Kit” Gill is also having issues with his mother, a recently deceased Broadway star. Haunted by
her lingering lack of approval, Kit attempts to finally snag the spotlight and make his mother
proud via the ultimate performance – murder. Donning various disguises, he enters the homes
of his victims, where he sings his way into their good graces…before strangling them. Assigned
to the case is none other than Detective Morris Brummell, who is immediately distracted by
the beautiful Sarah Stone, a neighbor of one of Kit’s victims. As Kit’s murderous streak gains
momentum, the lives of Morris and Sarah become dangerously entangled in his schemes. But
with so much pressure to perform, can Kit keep his composure, or will he unravel?

Director’s Notes
No Way To Treat A Lady has always
been unfinished business for me.
It was one of our first workshop
productions in our Village Originals
program back in 1999. I fell in love
with Douglas J. Cohen’s adaptation
of William Goldman’s eerie, somewhat
creepy novel about the relationship
between a serial killer and the
detective that is pursuing him. In
1968 a film adaptation was made
and it became a black comedy cult hit.
Doug was able to take the best of
both versions and create a highly
entertaining musical thriller that is
funny, suspenseful, and unnerving
all at the same time. The project
seemed destined for our Mainstage,
but like the old Jewish adage says,
“Man plans, God laughs.” From his
experience with our workshop, Doug
was able to receive an Off-Broadway
opening, which was very successful
and nominated for many awards. It
has since been produced all across
the country and in London and Korea.
Now, in 2015, I finally get to check
No Way To Treat A Lady off my bucket
list, with an all-star cast featuring
some of the Northwest’s most
accomplished actors and Village
Theatre favorites to bring these
delicious characters to life. Under the
assured baton of R.J. Tancioco and
Chris Ranney, Doug’s inspired score
captures the sounds and moods of
1963. With the help of set designer
Bill Forrester’s rye, quirky ode to
sixties pop art, costume guru Melanie
Burgess’ faithful realization of the
haute couture of the Kennedy era,
and Aaron Copp’s atmospheric
lighting, Village Theatre finally
welcomes No Way To Treat A Lady
back home to our Mainstage.
Enjoy,
Steve Tomkins

Author’s Notes
If not for the ritual of doing laundry, I might
never have written No Way To Treat A Lady.
It was a spring day in the mid-1980’s. I had
just put in a load of laundry in the basement
of my building and had a little time to kill
between cycles. I turned on my small black and
white TV from college when a movie appeared
called No Way To Treat A Lady. I vaguely
remembered seeing the trailer, which had
terrorized me as a kid. But now, years later, this
film spoke to me. It was not only a thriller but
also a very funny and romantic black comedy
all set against the background of my newly
adopted city, New York. It dealt with mother
problems and grown men’s inability to extricate
themselves from strong maternal grips. I could
relate. I could also identify with the need for
recognition in a city that often capriciously
rewarded people with their 15 minutes of fame.
Suddenly I found myself sitting at my
piano composing melodies that felt as if they
belonged to that landscape. This was a musical
– Kit’s theatrical world lent itself to song but so
did Morris and Sarah’s nascent romance and
the possibility of having one character actress
double as Alexandra and all the women who
remind Kit of his late, celebrated mother. I
contacted William Goldman, the Academy
Award winning writer who had first created the
novel on which the film was based. He agreed
to listen to a few songs and then generously
gave me his blessing. My journey had begun.
Little did I know it would become an
obsession. Like Detective Morris Brummell,
I too lived and breathed this welcome
assignment. For the better part of a decade,
I traveled wherever the show would take
me, making significant changes, while
trying to retain the qualities that initially
attracted me to the project. Instead of a
stylish cat and mouse game (or a great
vehicle for Rod Steiger, as the movie
revealed), the story was really about two men
who develop a symbiotic relationship and
ultimately help one another to solve their
personal and professional problems. It was
also a story of good vs. evil and how the lines
blur when ambition is involved. Finally, it
was the story of isolated individuals seeking
to connect in an often fragmented and
formidable metropolis.
But above all, I wanted the story to be
entertaining. Sitting in rehearsals at Village
Theatre, I felt undiluted joy revisiting these
characters as filtered through Steve Tomkins’
talented vision. I hope you, the audience,
enjoy being part of this world. After all, it
is an audience that Kit Gill is really seeking
when giving his “performances.” If only he
could have enjoyed “a life” in the theatre…
but then, our story would not exist.
Take it “once more from the top.”
Douglas J. Cohen

I
n the early 1960s, newspapers were
ablaze with the story of the “Boston
Strangler.” The details were chilling: 13
murders in a year and a half; primarily
older, female victims; a tendency for
the murderer to don disguises; a signature in
the form of women’s pantyhose. In the midst
of the investigation, a small article, which
suggested there might be two competing
murderers, caught William Goldman’s eye.
With headlines echoing in his head, he
penned his novel No Way To Treat A Lady.
the screen and stage, and so from the start
Christopher “Kit” Gill is the star of our story.
But the identity of the actual Boston Strangler
remained shrouded in mystery and debate for
half a century after the murders had ceased.
At the time of the murders, American
society was enjoying a period of relative
innocence and the idea of serial killers was
still something of a novelty. The vulnerability
of the Boston Strangler’s victims gave a
particularly perverse nature to the crimes. As
this investigation took hold of public interest
and dominated headlines,
another case involving a
series of sexual assaults
also came to light. In
October of 1964, a
stranger entered a young
woman’s home posing as
a detective, and assaulted
her – but suddenly
apologized and left.
The incident led to the
arrest of Albert DeSalvo,
thought to be connected
to the assaults. But after
he was charged, DeSalvo
gave a detailed confession
claiming to also be the
Boston Strangler.
His confession was
immediately debated,
thought by some to
be nothing more than
a publicity stunt. Dr.
Ames Robey, the medical
director of Bridgewater
State Hospital, called
DeSalvo “a very clever,
very smooth compulsive

confessor who desperately
needs to be recognized.”
A story all its own, No Way To Treat A
Many believed the murders were, in fact,
Lady is nonetheless rife with allusions to
carried out by more than one person. There
the Boston case, centered on a man who
was no physical evidence to substantiate
strangles older, female victims in their
DeSalvo’s claims, and so the case faded out
homes in New York City while wearing
of the headlines, with no conclusion and no
various disguises. First published in 1964,
one ever convicted of the murders. DeSalvo
the book initially withholds the identity
died in prison in 1973, stabbed to death while
of the fictitious murderer. This story point
serving a life sentence for crimes unrelated to
proved too difficult once it was adapted for
the murders.
But the mystery surrounding the
disturbing case haunted the families of the
victims and those who had investigated
it. Doubts about DeSalvo’s involvement
continued for decades, and an attempt to
clear his name brought the case back into
the spotlight in 2000. In 2013, 50 years
after the case began, DNA evidence finally
conclusively linked DeSalvo to the murders.
Meanwhile, Goldman went on to find
great success as a novelist and screenwriter –
you may recognize his name from such
classics as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
Kid, All The President’s Men, and The Princess
Bride. He wrote the screen adaptation of
No Way To Treat A Lady, directed by Jack
Smight and starring Rod Steiger and Lee
Remick, in 1968, and in 1987, Douglas J.
Cohen adapted Goldman’s story into the
musical you’re seeing today – a fun, catand-mouse detective drama with dark
undertones that remind us of the story’s
deadly serious origins.

CREATINGART
BRENT WARWICK
RESIDENT SOUND DESIGNER
One of Village Theatre’s most unique qualities
is that every one of our shows is custom
designed from the ground up. This Season we
are celebrating our team of master craftsmen
by taking a look behind the scenes at the
dedication and work put into each and every
show here at Village Theatre.
Brent Warwick is the Resident Sound
Designer at the Francis J. Gaudette Theatre in
Issaquah. “Sound is a mysterious department
in musical theatre,” he says. “I don’t think
many people realize how much art goes into
the technical aspects of sound.”
Brent’s job, simply put, is making each
show sound the best it can. But that task
is anything but simple. In addition to the
differences between one production and the
next, every single performance needs unique
sound adjustments based on the composition
of the audience and variations in cast and
orchestra. “Once the lights go down,” he says,
“that’s when the art begins.”
In preparation for this moment, Brent
determines which microphones to use and
where to place them. Any number of factors
can make this a complicated undertaking,
from actors wearing hats that interfere
with hairline microphones to microphones
blocking sightlines between the orchestra and
the conductor.
During a show, Brent has to be tuned
in to everything at once: orchestra, actors,
audience – even the script. Village Theatre
employs a style of sound mixing called Line
Mixing, which creates the highest quality
sound but is also the most difficult technique.
Using this technique, actors’ microphones
are turned on a split second before they
begin speaking each line and turned off a
split second after they finish, so microphones
are constantly being turned on and off. “It’s
like a crazy video game where I’m following
the script and doing my best to predict the
timing of the actors as well as their volume,
which can vary greatly even within one line.”
Brent is also responsible for creating the
sound effects that accompany a show, from
well-known sounds such as chirping birds or
clapping thunder, to more abstract sounds
that audiences may not have heard before.
“I need the audience to say, ‘I’ve never heard
that sound, but I accept that it could sound
like that,’” he says of the challenge.
Brent got his start working for community
theatre as a general technician, where he
realized he had an exceptional aptitude for
Photo by Mark Kitaoka
sound. In 2006, he became the lead audio
technician for Princess Cruises, responsible
for all on board audio, including the ship’s
700-seat theatre. Brent joined Village
Theatre’s team in 2008, first as a sound
engineer and then as the sound designer.
The biggest compliment a sound
department can get in musical theatre,
according to Brent? Nothing. “If the audience
is so engrossed in the show that they forget
about the sound and just enjoy it, I’ve truly
done my job.”

VILLAGE ORIGINALS MUSICAL
It Shoulda Been You
G O E S T O B R O A DWAY !
It Shoulda Been You, a romantic musical comedy with roots at
Village Theatre, is coming to Broadway this spring. Previews begin
March 17th at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre, almost three years to
the day since the show’s opening in Issaquah. The musical was first
presented as a reading at the Village Originals Festival of New Musicals
in 2010 and was subsequently featured as a new musical, directed by
Jon Kretzu, in Village Theatre’s 2011-2012 Mainstage Season.
With book and lyrics by Brian Hargrove and
music by Barbara Anselmi, It Shoulda Been
You is the story of a bride and groom from
wildly different backgrounds whose wedding
day dissolves into hysterical chaos due to the
arrival of an unexpected guest. It is a classic
love story with a contemporary twist – and
now, you’ll have to head to Times Square to
find out what that is.
For a musical, the road from a drafted
screenplay to a Broadway stage is a long,
difficult one – one that, more often than not,
diverges somewhere along the way. Village
Theatre is one of the few resident theatres
to provide support and opportunity at every
stage of musical development. Our Village
Originals program, anchored by the annual
Festival of New Musicals, represents a
dedication to the form’s continued growth and
evolution, and a determination that America’s
musical theatre will remain vibrant and
relevant for generations to come.
Through readings, development
productions, and Mainstage productions,
Village Originals has developed over 146 new
musicals to date. Currently, we are thrilled to
be bringing No Way To Treat A Lady back to
Village Theatre’s Mainstage after development
in our Village Originals program back in
1999. Other Village Originals alumni include
such Broadway hits as Million Dollar Quartet
(2010 Tony Award) and Next To Normal (2010
Pulitzer Prize for Drama). Village Originals
musicals have also gone on to great success
in regional theatre and have been produced
across the country and the world.
Coming up during our 2015-2016 Season,
we look forward to producing not one, but two
exciting and inspiring new shows – Snapshots,
a musical scrapbook featuring the music of

Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), and My Heart Is
the Drum, an original story about a young girl
in West Africa, developed just last summer in
our Festival of New Musicals.
And as we begin preparations for this
year’s Festival of New Musicals, where new
musical ideas will take shape and come to
life, lights will illuminate the It Shoulda
Been You marquee on 47th Street. Directed
by David Hyde Pierce, the musical stars
Harriet Harris, Tyne Daly, Sierra Boggess,
Lisa Howard, and David Burtka. Former
Seattleite Aaron C. Finley – who played the
Best Man, Greg Madison, in Village Theatre’s
production – will also be standing by as an
understudy. It Shoulda Been You is sure to
bring the heartwarming, hilarious spirit of its
Village Theatre run to New York City. We’re
proud to see it thriving as a part of the Village
Originals legacy and a testament to the
vitality of musical theatre.
