Why see The Nutty Professor - Musical?
Presenting the world premiere of The Nutty Professor, a new musical comedy directed by the King of Comedy himself, Jerry Lewis! This brand-new production will soon be on its way to Broadway, so don't miss out!
Featuring music by Tony winner Marvin Hamlisch (A Chorus Line) and a book and lyrics by 3-time Tony winner Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), The Nutty Professor is a musical treat for the whole family.
The story follows geeky chemistry professor Julius Kelp, who concocts a formula to turn himself into the ultimate heartthrob. But when the woman he loves falls for his alter ego, Buddy Love, will Julius find the courage to win her back from his hipper self? Heartwarming and delightfully funny, The Nutty Professor has a universal message that everyone can relate to: we might try to change who we are...but there's no substitute for the real thing!

Future Broadway Hit
Grandma (me) took grandkids (ages 14, 12, 8). We all enjoyed it.
The acting, dancing, singing were of Broadway quality. Play
opens with a bang--literally--an explosion of paper spews out
of the stage followed by the nutty professor, Michael Andrew. He
plays both the nutty professor and the suave playboy the nutty
professor transforms into. I thought it was 2 actors but my
granddaughter rightly told me it was the same actor Andrew. In
the beginning of the play the transformation is not visible to the
audience, but by the end of the play Andrew is doing the
transformation in full view of the audience. It was amazing. The
other actors, Klea Blackhurst, Mark Jacoby, Marissa McGowan,
Jamie Ross, the ensemble dancing were truly professional and
enjoyable. To top it off, during the ovation at the end of the play,
Jerry Lewis appeared onstage and was as quick witted as ever.
Don't know if he does this for every performance, but it was
appreciated by this viewer and my grandkids saw a legend. ... Read more

The nutty professor
Attended opening night during preview week. Cast and music
definitely Broadway caliber. Choreography equally as good.
One scene in second act could have been a little shorter. That
is my only suggestion. I would definitely recommend the show
lots of Fun!! ... Read more

Remarkable Cast - Lack of Choruses
What a thrill to see the Nutty Professor preview. The cast was Broadway caliber. The set was a treat in design, color and creativity & what a band! Their presence on stage in the Act 2 rally rallied the audience & had they opened that act as the Buddy Love Club band, that repeated set would have seemed like a brand new show.
The leads were stellar singers & actors that kept this from being a one man show. And though tied to the 60's genre the former O-Land choreographer kept her dancer/singer/actors on their A game.
But her chorus line is the only chorus I remember. Sans the "Buddy" songs, many seemed like remakes of "Wicked" tunes in lyrics & style. But I don't leave a show quoting lyrics or humming great arrangements & Big River put more music in my head than Nutty Professor.
Maybe they can add a What I Did for Love or Because I Knew You before Broadway. Also opening with the marching band/cheerleader number song would add energy & better set up the Professor's explosive entrance ... Read more
