Fauntleroy
(Every Sat. Mon. Wed. and Friday at 8:00 p.m.)
     Natchez Little Theatre is proud to present the world premiere of the Broadway bound musical, “Fauntleroy,” book and lyrics by Natchez native, Chandler Warren, and music by Robert Miles.
      “Fauntleroy” is a musical version of the world-famous novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, “Little Lord Fauntleroy”, which tells the story of an elderly British Earl who realizes that he has to make some provision for the passage of his title and property to his heir and is chagrined that his only heir as far as he knows is an American boy of eleven whose mother is also American, a circumstance the old Earl doesn’t like at all.
    However, he sends his solicitor to retrieve the boy.  The story is the unfolding of the relationship between grandfather and grandson with a plot twister insertion of another claimant to the title who threatens to usurp the title of Lord Fauntleroy.
      We have taken certain liberties with the story by adding two love stories that intertwine with the main story plot, one between the boy’s mother and the Earl’s solicitor and the other a love story concerning the mother’s maid and an English servant who works in the castle.

A Natchez Christmas Carol
(Dec. 4 - 13 2009)

Jacob Marley died seven years ago and left his home and his half of the business to his partner, Ebenezer Scrooge. Marley was a stingy old man, and Scrooge happily carries on the tradition. Scrooge is a hard, cold miser who spends his days counting his profits and wishing the world would leave him alone. He doesn’t believe in charity, and he is certain that those who do are just lazy bums looking for a handout. Scrooge’s entire life is his Natchez cotton brokerage and bank and he shuts out his nephew who is the only relative he has. Bob Cratchit, his loyal employee, is a free man of color who supports his growing family on Scrooge’s meager wages. Once prosperous Natchez planters and merchants are down on their luck after the War of Recent Unpleasantness and compete with carpet baggers and newly freed slaves for income. Scrooge has profited greatly by repossessing plantations and business alike; putting out war widows and orphans; and taking advantage of newly freed slaves. But Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his old business partner, Jacob Marley, who warns him that if he continues to live his life in such an unchristian way, he will spend all eternity trying to make up for it. Three more ghosts visit Scrooge and show him the errors of his ways. Because of what he sees and learns, Scrooge opens his heart to the people around him and learns charity and love and saves himself from the doom of which Marley warned him.

The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas
(Feb. 25 - 28, 2010)
     The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas is an utterly charming, humorous, lively and  good-natured musical  with book by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson and music and lyrics by Carol Hall.  This happy-go-lucky view of small-town vice and statewide political side-stepping recounts the good times and the demise of the Chicken Ranch, known since the 1850s as one of the better pleasure palaces in all of Texas.  Governors, senators, mayors and even victorious college football teams frequent Miss Mona’s cozy bordello until that puritan nemesis Watchdog focuses his television cameras and this righteous indignation on the institution.   Time said “A font of fun and friendliness, engagingly rich in regional nostalgia and spiced with delicate bawdry.  The country-and-western score is a delight.”

THE KING AND I
(June 3 - 6, 2010)

East versus West makes for a dramatic, richly textured and ultimately uplifting tale of enormous fascination.  It is 1862, in Siam when English widow Anna Leonowens, with her young son, arrives at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, having been summoned by the King to serve as a tutor to his many children and wives.  The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by those in the West and he seeks Anna’s assistance in changing his image, if not his ways.  With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King grow to understand and, eventually, respect one another, in a truly unique love story.   Along with the dazzling score by Richard Rodgers, book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II based on “Anna and the King of Siam” by Margaret Landon, the incomparable Jerome Robbins ballet, “The Small House of Uncle Thomas,” is one of the all-time marvels of the musical stage.
