Tuck Everlasting
Our Alliance Stage was also the first home of the musical based on Natalie Babbit's classic novel, Tuck Everlasting. This show starred Sarah Charles Lewis, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Terrance Mann, Carolee Carmello, Robert Lenzi, and Michael Park.
Several other shows have chosen the Alliance Theatre to house their "out-of-town tryout," a first step on the road to Broadway to work out any kinks before it heads to the highly demanding audiences in New York.
