Let Freedom Sing!  You and a guest will enjoy the talented cast of Musical Theatre West as they show you what REALLY happened at the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

And just announced...

Davis Gaines, known by most Southern California theatergoers for his portrayal of the titular character in Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, will be joining the previously announced Steven Glaudini (John Adams) and Tami Tappan Damiano (Abigail Adams) as Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia in 1776.

Musical Theatre West is excited to be producing as powerful a musical as 1776, with one of the best scripts of the genre (so good, that you'll wonder if they'll ever get it together to sign the Declaration of Independence). And to have Mr. Gaines, one of the foremost talents in musical theatre, involved is just icing on the cake!

Before our after the play, take in dinner at the wonderful Lasher's. Since 1996, Lasher's has offered Regional American fare such as prime steaks form the Midwest, fresh Pacific seafood, Maryland crab cakes, and a variety of dishes from around the U.S.  The restaurant is in a completely renovated Craftsman-style home originally built in 1920.  The structure and interior have been left in the original style save for the kitchen and restrooms.  The small interior rooms combine with an expansive patio to provide a variety of atmosphere choices.  

The restaurant is known for its fabulous multi-course Wine Dinners.  The last several years have brought in such notable vineyards as Caymus, Saddleback, Jekel, Raymond, Kendall-Jackson, Robert Mondavi, Joseph Phelps, Estancia and Moet Chandon.  The wines are perfectly paired with items from the Lasher's kitchen.  Some notable dishes have been The Rack of Lamb, Filet Wellington, and Fresh Chilean Seabass with Macadamia Nut Crust.
