This co-production between The Nora Theatre Company and Underground Railway Theater transports audiences to ancient Persia, where King Shahrayar, after being driven mad by his first wife's infidelity, brands all women unfaithful. He takes a new bride every night and has each one executed the following day -- until he meets Shahrazad, who enchants him with magical tales spanning the globe, winning his love and respect in the process. Based on the collection of folk tales One Thousand and One Nights and adapted by Dominic Cooke, Arabian Nights is rich with suspense, romance and hilarity for all ages. Daniel Gidron directs.

Car Talk: The Musical!!! - Inspired by the Hit NPR Call-In Show

Full Price:
$45.00 - $50.00
Our Price:
$22.50 - $25.00

Inspired by the long-running hit NPR show Car Talk -- which is hosted by legendary (real-life) mechanics Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers -- comes the hilarious new musical comedy, Car Talk: The Musical!!! at Central Square Theater. A co-production of Underground Railway Theater and Suffolk University, the show was written by Suffolk faculty member Wesley Savick, with original music by Michael Wartofsky. In it, Rusty Fenders, the hapless owner of a lemon '93 Kia, falls in love with Miata C. LaChassis. She guides him to the Emerald Garage, home to the Wizard of Cahs (portrayed by the recorded, heavily accented voices of Click and Clack themselves). Like the radio show, it's a romantic comedy about being in love with your car -- and so, so much more. Learn More

3 generational family attending and everyone of us loved it - from 91 to 24. Extremely creative, well-acted, and very entertaining.
It is a must see - a fabulous first collaboration for Nora and Underground Railway. Hope you do more productions together. We see a lot of plays and I would rank this in my top 5 for the year. Kudos to actors, director, light, set design, puppetry, choreography, etc.
A couple of us thought it was a little long - 2 hours and 15 minutes with a 15 minute intermission but others were perfectly satisfied
