Audiences
will be swept off to fantastical faraway places this spring when
“1001 Nights: A Love Story About Loving Stories” hits the
stage at the Center for Puppetry Arts for a limited two week
engagement, March 25-April 6. Broadway musical powerhouse
Robert Lopez, innovative New York company The Flying Carpet and
puppetry experts Center for Puppetry Arts, join forces as a “dream
team” to create the ultimate “family puppet musical.”
In this celebration of
brainy imagination over brawn, a princess uses her wits to save a
kingdom from an evil decree as she spins tale after tale for a
narrow-minded king. Featuring genies, jesters, 40 thieves and
other captivating characters, the princess’s cliffhanger stories
keep the king—and audiences—on the edge of their seats.
This playful adaptation of the “Arabian Nights” fairy tales is
recommended for ages six and up.
“1001
Nights” was first conceived in 1998 by Tony winner and Academy
Award nominee Robert Lopez (“Avenue Q,” “The Book of Mormon,”
“Frozen”) and Adam Koplan, artistic director of Flying Carpet
Theatre Company. This newly reimagined production features
early songs by Lopez and is co-directed by Koplan and Jon Ludwig,
artistic director of the Center for Puppetry Arts. All the
puppets were designed by the Center’s resident puppet builder Jason
von Hinezmeyer and built by the talented crew in the Center’s
puppet building shop. “1001 Nights” is an inspired
combination of Lopez’s catchy tunes, Flying Carpet’s inventive
staging and the Center’s internationally recognized puppetry
expertise.
Lopez’s
works “Avenue Q” and “The Book of Mormon” have both been
critical and commercial smash hits, as well as Best Musical Tony
Award winners. Crediting “1001 Nights” as the show
where he found his “voice” as a composer/lyricist, Lopez also
co-wrote songs for the 2011 film “Winnie the Pooh” and co-created
eight original songs for Disney’s latest film “Frozen,”
including “Let It Go” for which he received a Critic’s Choice
award as well as Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations.
“1001
Nights” will run for two weeks only from March 25 – April
6, 2014 in the Downstairs Theater. Show times are as follows:
- Tuesday-Thursday: 10 a.m. & 12 p.m.
