Lakewood Theatre Company Presents The World Premiere Of Will Vinton Musical THE KISS, July 15 - August 21

To begin its 70th anniversary season Lakewood Theatre Company will be presenting the world premiere of THE KISS, an outrageously original fun musical comedy for theatre audiences of all ages. Directed by Greg Tamblyn, the production will continue through August 21, 2022, on the Headlee Mainstage at Lakewood Theatre Company.

Will Vinton, the legendary pioneer of Claymation, along with platinum composer and lyricist, David Pomeranz, created THE KISS, a new musical comedy for theatre audiences of all ages. Based loosely on "The Frog Prince," originally penned by The Brothers Grimm, this timeless tale of transformation is now retold through a contemporary lens.

Will's final request to his son Jesse Vinton was for the musical to be completed and fully realized for the stage. Joining forces with Pomeranz and renowned theater director Greg Tamblyn, the trio has worked for over four years to bring Will's vision to life.THE KISS weaves together fantastic characters, extraordinary music, and fairy tale enchantments for the whole family. Join us for Will's greatest adventure, a celebration of love and magic to honor his creative genius!
