“The amiable Country-flavored tunes and lyrics are transcendent. It is not often that material moves me to tears, but this was one of those occasions. The Spitfire Grill has heart and soul.” - New York Magazine

Music and Book by James Valcq / Lyrics and Book by Fred Alley
Based on a film by Lee David Zlotoff

Since it opened off-Broadway in 2001, The Spitfire Grill has become one of the most often-produced new American musicals. It depicts the journey of a young woman just released from prison who decides to start her life anew in a rundown mining town. When she begins changing the lives of the townsfolk, she sparks a journey within the town toward its own reawakening. With penetrating honesty, the uplifting folk and bluegrass-tinged-score soars.

A Elwood P. Dowd is a cheerful and charming fellow with one character flaw: an unwavering friendship with a 6-foot-tall, invisible rabbit named Harvey. In order to save the family's social reputation, Elwood's sister Veta takes him to the local sanatorium. But when doctors mistakenly commit his anxiety-ridden sister, Elwood - and Harvey - slip out of the hospital unbothered, setting off a hilarious whirlwind of confusion and chaos as everyone in town tries to catch a man and his invisible rabbit. This irresistible classic American comedy is chock-full of eccentric and loveable characters and has warmed the hearts of audiences for generations. A feel-good fantasy for the whole family.
