weapons at the door (and if you don’t have any, he’s got extras!) Uncle Senior
has a rigged dice game going and Tony’s Ma is – well just nuts. Tony’s shrink
Dr. Malaise is giving free analysis and the Father isn’t sure what he is doing!
But one thing is for sure, almost no one seems sad that Tony is gone and they
certainly done seem happy once he’s discovered alive. Be prepared to dodge

“The Spitfire Grill”

jill — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 20:12:35 +0000

Music and Book by James Valcq, Lyrics and Book by Fred Alley
Based on the film by Lee David Zlotoff

Basic Info: Come to Lewis Station Winery and enjoy a small town musical with a big heart! Tickets available at the winery or by calling 920.648.5481. Tickets are $15 each, shows start at 7:30 on Aug. 12, 13, 19 & 20.

What’s the show about? Meet Percy, a feisty parolee who follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and the locals see their town through new eyes.

Reviews: “A soul satisfying…work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows.” -The New York Times

“Soulful…The amiable country flavored tunes and lyrics are rendered with the kind of conviction and expertise that make them transcendent. What in normal times would be a joy is, in these troubled ones, sheer nourishment.” -New York Magazine

“Soaring melodies!…Well before the show reaches its conclusion, many…city slickers in the audience may be ready to enter Percy’s raffle.” -The Wall Street Journal

“An abundance of warmth, spirit and goodwill!…Some of the most engaging and instantly infectious melodies I’ve heard in an original musical in some time.” - USA Today
