lyrics by Don Black
Directed by Eric Davis
Music Direction by Michael Raabe

freeFall Theatre brings audiences this underrated musical comedy from the award-winning composer of The Phantom of the Opera and Sunset Boulevard. Tell Me On a Sunday follows a young English girl who has recently landed in New York. Brimming with optimism, she sets out to seek success, companionship and, of course, love. But as she weaves her way through the maze of the city and her own anxieties, frustrations, and heartaches, she begins to wonder whether—in fact—she’s been looking for love in all the wrong places. The show contains some of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most-treasured songs, including “Tell Me On a Sunday,” “Come Back with the Same Look in Your Eyes” and “Unexpected Song.”

HIMSELF AND NORA
freeFall Theatre
book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Brielle
Directed by Eric Davis
Music Direction by Michael Raabe
Himself and Nora is one of the world’s great romances. Himself: an internationally acclaimed author whose words awakened the world. Nora: the country girl from Galway whose burning sexuality and acerbic wit ignited the genius of James Joyce. Himself and Nora is a passionate musical that reveals the private life of one of modern literature’s most controversial figures. Ripped from the pages of their intimate life together and inspired by their Irish roots, this untold story of writer James Joyce and his muse is a scintillating exposé of the unconventional and passionate love affair that changed literature forever.
