Romeo and Juliet tells the tale of the most celebrated Shakespearian love story where a young man and woman fall instantly in love. But alas, their passion was not meant to be, since they are both from families who have hated each other for centuries, and the two lovers die tragically in each other's arms. Cost is $140.
The second trip is to see The King and I, Wednesday, May 18. Bus leaves at 10:15 a.m. with the show starting at 1:30 p.m.. Lunch is on your own at Lloyds, a nearby restaurant serving everything from sandwiches to steaks. Reservations are for 11:45 a.m. Registration deadline is April 18.
The King and I, by the renowned Rodgers and Hammerstein, is based on a true story of the king of Siam and a feisty Welsh teacher who he hired to help him lead his country into the modern world. They ultimately fall in love to some of Broadway's greatest music including "Shall We Dance?" Cost is $100.
