The Roar of the Greasepaint the Smell of the Crowd is ultimately a story of hope. In the aftermath of an event that has upended society, an absurd union is formed. It's a makeshift family of sorts, dysfunctional at best, often cruel, mostly ridiculous. This band of survivors operates under a self-imposed system of rules that separates them, creating a tiny universe of have and have-nots. Ultimately,this scrappy and eccentric trio of survivors find hope from the unlikeliest of sources….each other. 

Their world may have ended, but songs like "Who Can I Turn To?," "The Joker," "Feeling Good" and "A Wonderful Day Like Today" echo on, welcoming new love and another dawn. 

Book, Music and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley  
Choreographed by Liza Gennaro 
Directed by Don Stephenson
