Characters: 13 male, 6 female. Various sets. Winner! 2010 New York
Musical Theatre Festival Award for Excellence Winner! National
Music Theatre Network Award! This charming rags to riches romp with
a melodic score follows Ragged Dick, Horatio Alger's first best
selling hero, from penniless bootblack to budding Wall Street
entrepreneur. His adventures bring him face to face with scheming
ex convicts, vicious comic villians, kind benefactors and a world
of colorful street characters. Set in the New York Centennial
summer of 1876, this full of hopes and dreams musical is perfect
for the whole family. "A charming, feel-good musical. The work's
tremendous heart and unabashed celebration of Alger's popular
stories are in ample evidence in this appealing musical about the
rise from rags to riches." - Meredith Lee, Theatermania "SHINE! is
one of those wonderful musicals where an audience cares deeply for
the hero. Richard Seff's book and Lee Goldsmith's lyrics perfectly
capture the Horatio Alger spirit ...Composer Roger Anderson's
ballads are strikingly beautiful. As for his up-tempo songs, to
call each a toe-tapper would only be 10% accurate ..." - Peter
Filichia, The Star-Ledger "Awfully close to the sort of musical
that made the form nationally beloved in the Rodgers and
Hammerstein era." - Marc Miller, Backstage "Highly tuneful...A
friendly show of considerable good humor." - Playbill
