Wegmans…the Musical 2.0 is coming to the Algonquin Regional High School auditorium June 7 and June 8 at 7 pm. Sixty-one students are part of this original show about twin brothers managing competing supermarkets in Northborough, a lost elderly man living at Avalon apartments and the real-life event of a proposal in the store. This updated show was written by the 2012 Advanced Drama show, adding a live all-student pit band. Wegmans is providing props for the show where food and theatre collide.
“Wegmans…The Musical” was written in 2012 by Maura Morrison’s Advanced Drama class after the town of Northborough welcomed the first Wegmans store in Massachusetts. It’s the story of twin brothers both managing competing supermarkets in Northborough. One is wildly jealous of the splash Wegmans makes in town and plots to destroy its success. There is also a couple who gets engaged in the store (this really happened) and a missing elderly man in the frozen foods aisle. The songs include parodies from RENT, Les Miserables, Wicked, Hamilton and Eminem. Six years have passed since Wegmans… THE MUSICAL hit the Algonquin stage. This is a minimally updated version
Admission is free, but donations will be accepted.
