From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a musical comedy based on the novel by Mark Twain; book by Ken Ludwig; music and lyrics by Don Schlitz.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is the story of a fourteen-year-old boy growing up in the heartland of America. This Broadway musical version of Mark Twain's novel is set in 1840 in St. Petersburg, Missouri, a bustling town on the banks of the Mississippi River. In the course of the story, Tom matches wits with his stern Aunt Polly, falls in love with the beautiful, feisty Becky Thatcher, and goes on the adventure of his life with Becky and that irresistible renegade, Huckleberry Finn. Along the way we meet a terrifying villain named Injun Joe, Tom's bratty half-brother Sid, and all the other boys and girls in the village. With music by Don Schiltz ("The Gambler"), The Adventures of Tom Sawyer played on Broadway at the Minskoff Theater, and was directed by Scott Ellis.
