"Irene"

Irene

Harry Tierney (Music); Joseph McCarthy (Lyrics); Hugh Wheeler & Joseph Stein (Book)

Based on the Original Play by James Montgomery

WVLO Musical Theatre Company

In the tradition of New York’s Encore Theatre or San Francisco’s 42^nd Street Moon, WVLO has bravely stepped forward to showcase a musical now largely ignored by most stages.  Enough wonderful moments are created in the resulting Irene to warrant a trip to Saratoga for anyone who has a hankering for an evening of song, dance, and humor of an era now past.

Rating: 3 E’s

Irene continues through July 25, 2015, at the Saratoga Civic Theatre, 13777 Fruitvale Civic Theatre, produced by WVLO Musical Theatre Company.  Tickets are available at http://www.wvlo.org or by calling the 24/7 voicemail 408-268-3777 or the 24/7 live box office 800-838.3006.
