Tomfoolery

Stage Director:  Susan Rappenwolf
Music Director: Cynthia Marten

Producers: Laura Jordan, Stan Rabe

Music and Lyrics by Tom Lehrer
Adapted by  Cameron Mackintosh and Robin Ray
Musical Arrangements by  Chris Walker and Robert Fisher

In concerts, television appearances and a series of now-classic recordings, the Harvard-educated math professor Tom Lehrer delighted millions of fans during the 1950′s and 60′s with his dry, cynical but good-humored attacks on the A-bomb, racism, pollution, pornography, the military, the boy scouts and, of course, mathematics.

Nothing is sacred in this hysterical revue featuring such Lehrer favorites as “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park,” “When You Are Old And Grey,” “The Masochism Tango,” “The Old Dope Peddler,” “The Vatican Rag” and an unforgettable Gilbert and Sullivan-esque recitation of the table of elements, linked together with his own inimitable concert patter.
