About the Musical: CELEBRATION, Music by Harvey Schmidt, Lyrics and Book by Tom Jones, the duo who created THE FANTASTICKS, is an adult musical fable based on ancient rituals depicting the battle between Winter and Summer. The tale begins with an eclipse on New Year's Eve. Revelers in the city wait to see what the darkness will bring. An orphan in the world searches for his lost garden and becomes entangled with Mr. Rich as they vie for the affection of a beautiful fallen Angel who dreams of being a TV star. Written in 1969 it resonates today and is too current as it portrays the cyclical struggle between the powers of humanity, peace and love and the forces of corruption and greed.
