Description: If the overcast winter weather is beginning to get to you then buy a ticket now for "The Sunshine Boys." With the help of executive producer, Wamego Telecommunications Company, Neil Simon's award winning hit "The Sunshine Boys" will be showing in February at The Columbian Theatre in Wamego. "The Sunshine Boys" debuted on Broadway in 1972 winning the Tony award for Best Play and was revived to great success in 1997. It was also made into a movie in 1975, starring George Burns and Walter Matthau, which received multiple award nominations and George Burns won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
"The Sunshine Boys" is a showcase of drama and comedy that come from a long-standing, but broken relationship between two vaudeville performers. Willy Clark and Al Lewis had a good thing going, but slowly their relationship began to fall apart and ultimately led to the two comedic
greats separating when Lewis retired against Clark's wishes. Eleven years
later Clark's nephew, a talent agent, offers them an opportunity to reunite
for a television special that forces them to face the issues plaguing their
relationship. Pitfalls in friendship, work and life come to a head as the
audience watches with laughter and anticipation.
Tickets are $9 for children and $18 for adults. Tickets for the show along with a dinner catered by Grizzly's Grill of Manhattan are $19.75 for children and $35.25 for adults.
"The Sunshine Boys" will begin its run at The Columbian Theatre in Wamego on Feb. 9 and continue through Feb. 25. Show times are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. for the evening shows, and 12:30 p.m. for the Sunday shows.
