‘Coming Back Like a Song’ only has a handful of performances remaining before the nostalgic musical leaves the Ocala Civic Theatre on Sunday.
The musical is based on the real-life bond between three legendary composers: Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and Jimmy Van Heusen.
During each show, audiences will be transported to an elegant Manhattan apartment on Christmas Eve in 1956. The three songwriters (Berlin, Arlen, and Van Heusen) will gather around the piano as they share many martinis, as well as their hopes, dreams, and concerns about the future of music with rock ‘n roll right around the corner, according to the Ocala Civic Theatre.
The next performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 15 at the Ocala Civic Theatre, which is located at 4337 E Silver Springs Boulevard. This will be an American Sign Language Performance, and those needing to reserve an ASL area should contact the box office at 352-236-2274.
Additional performances will also be held on the following dates:
- Friday, December 16 at 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, December 17 at 2 p.m.
- Saturday, December 17 at 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, December 18 at 2 p.m.
Tickets cost $30 for adults (ages 19 and older) and $15 for ages 18 and younger. The Ocala Civic Theatre states that the show is not suggested for children due to the use of “rather colorful language.”
