The Boys from Syracuse at The Shakespeare
Why would the Shakespeare Theatre Company offer a musical concert version of the Rodgers and Hart musical The Boys From Syracuse? Because it’s based on a Shakespeare play, naturally — specifically The Comedy of Errors. The story revolves around identical brothers separated in a shipwreck as children but who wind up in the same town as adults, confusing the people in their lives. Alan Paul directs the concert version of this rarely staged musical, featuring the hit “Falling in Love with Love.” Paul worked with designers from the New York Philharmonic’s star-studded concert version of Stephen Sondheim’s Company. Friday, Nov. 4, at 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 5, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sidney Harman Hall, Harman Center for the Arts, 610 F St. NW. Tickets are $35 to $80. Call 202-547-1122 or visit shakespearetheatre.org.
