2021-2022 Season Preview, Zach Theatre, Austin
ZACH THEATRE 2021–22 SEASON PREVIEW:
INTO THE WOODS
Fall 2021, ZACH360 at The People’s Plaza
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by James Lapine
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine
Orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick
Stephen Sondheim’s fairytale masterpiece is reinterpreted outside at ZACH using the architecture and landscaping as the backdrop. The People’s Plaza will transform into the woods and envelop the audience as Rapunzel lets down her hair from the Topfer balcony, Cinderella loses her slipper on the stairs, and the Milky White cow sculpture moos to life with Jack and his Beanstalk. All of the Giants we wrestled in 2020 are there too, but with the assurance that “No One Is Alone” and there is light ahead.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Summer 2022, ZACH360 in The Topfer
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein III
Book by Howard Lindsey and Russel Crouse
Suggested by “The Trapp Family Singers” by Maria Augusta Trapp
The hills are alive in this intimate, heartfelt reimagining of the beloved musical classic bringing the Von Trapp Family to life in a ZACH360 experience where The Topfer is transformed into a lively biergarten. Maria’s sunny nature and passion for music brings joy and laughter back into the aching Von Trapp family, and melts the Captain’s icy heart. Your sprits will soar to the Tony, Grammy, and Oscar-winning score, including “My Favorite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Every Mountain,” and, of course, the title song. Love triumphs, and light wins over the darkest of times.
