The Producers was at the Springfield Little Theater. Mel Brooks wrote the book for The Producers which is a comedy. It took place in New York City. Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom were partners and met crazy characters and hired them for Springtime for Hitler, and the next morning when they went into their office and read the newspaper, it said that the show was a hit and they were shocked.

I loved MAMMA MIA!
(at Hammons Hall October 11, 2009)
The songs Gimme Gimme Gimme, Honey Honey, Mamma Mia, Money Money Money , and Supertrouper were my favorites. Here's the story: It all started with a teenage girl with a mom but with no father. But one time the teenage girl delivered letters to Harry Bright, Bill Austin and Sam Charmichael. They thought Donna Sheridan (the mom) sent the letters to them, but the daughter Sophie Sheridan did. Donna and Harry and Bill and Sam had a history, but Donna put her diary away and Sophie found it and then stuff happend. (That's a whole other story for another time). Then one thing led to another thing. The mothers formed a band (Super Trouper). Sophie and Sky didn't get married, but Donna and Sam got married.
The symphony played Louis Armstrong songs, and there was a guest star Byron Stripling. He is a crazy trumpeter person and a jokester. He sang Flat Footed Floogie dedicated to Ron Spigleman. The youth players played right before the symphony, and they sang Seasons of Love from the Broadway show Rent and crazy jungle themes.
And The Springfield Symphony again, November 14, 2009
I loved it! They did a great job. The piano player played really fast, and the symphony played a story by Hector Berlioz. Ron Spigleman gets so excited and goes crazy, and it looks like he will jump out of his clothes and conduct the symphony naked.
I loved As You Like It (performed by the Aquila Theater Company at Hammons Hall October 20).
Of course in Shakespeare plays there is always a fool, and in this play the fool is really Touchstone and he fell in love with Audrey. The two daughters fell in love and dressed up as men and one of the guys was a wrestler with his brother. At the end, everybody fell in love and got married.
Bob Dylan and his band in Springfield on October 25, 2009The concert of Bob Dylan was a hit. It is a rave. I loved it. It was a rock 'n roll band, and it was loud.
Lewis Carroll wrote Alice In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. It all started when Alice met the white rabbit with her sister. Alice follows the white rabbit in the hole and meets crazy characters like a wild Cheshire cat, a wicked mad hatter with a big hat, an evil queen of hearts, a crazy dodo bird, a mock turtle, caterpillar, doorknob, rock lobsters, sparkle fish, amoeba party fish creatures, bumblebees, dragonflies, flowers, Tweeledee and Tweedledum. The director and the rest of the staff did a good job. Same for the kids. I loved it all. I wish I had a part in it so I can play and be crazy in the mad tea party or in the Queen’s palace or in a chorus. And I wish I had a costume and dance, sing, and act crazy on stage. The stage was set like chess, but there was no chess in the show and the part when Alice went into the rabbit hole and down when she ended, I thought there would be a hole in the stage.
