The Lady or The Tiger

Now nominated for Four Offies and a Standing Ovation Award!

From the award-winning director Keith Strachan comes a revival of the smash hit farcical musical comedy The Lady or The Tiger. This delightful production tells the story of a princess with a taste for adventure who falls head over heels for a wandering minstrel. But her father, the king, isn't happy about his daughter's romance. He devises a trial with an impossible choice: two doors for the minstrel, leading to either a beautiful lady or a ferocious tiger. What would you do?!

In this choose-your-own-adventure atmosphere, hilarity ensues along with lessons about love, fate, and the perils of leaving a daughter unattended. Adapted from Frank R. Stockton's popular short story, this musical adaptation first premiered at the Orange Tree Theatre in 1975 and later moved to the West End's Fortune Theatre. The Lady or the Tiger is a delightfully witty, alluring musical comedy filled with catchy songs that will stick with you long after the show ends.
