The answer that you’re after is the music lights and laughter— and they’ve got it— all you have to do is… be Italian!

Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Presented by Independent Presenters Network under the Direction of Andy Blankenbuehler with Musical Direction by Wayne Green, this rebooted conceptualization of the hit musical is targeting a younger,
