Book by Neil Simon
Music by Marvin Hamlisch
Lyrics by David Zippel
It's hard to go wrong with this warm, light-hearted show that is one of the musical theatre's rare modern romantic comedies.
"The Goodbye Girl" is based on Neil Simon's well-known film about an unlikely romance between Paula, a bitter, single mother who has been jilted one too many times, and Eliot, the opinionated actor who shows up on her doorstep with a lease to sublet her apartment. It features the same unique humor that has made Neil Simon the most popular playwright in Broadway history. Add a score by Marvin Hamlisch, composer of "A Chorus Line," and David Zippel, lyricist of "City of Angels" and Disney's "Hercules" and "Mulan," and you have an instant contemporary classic! Rated PG by Music Theatre International.

Renowned architect Bruce Goff was born in 1904 in Kansas but came to Oklahoma with his family at the age of 2. He was just 12 when a Tulsa architectural firm took him on as an apprentice in 1916. He completed his first design project at 15. Goff had no formal education beyond high school, but was widely recognized for his creative genius and, along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Sullivan, he is considered among the pioneers of the organic design movement. All the projects selected for this exhibition were never realized or have been demolished, with the exception of the Bavinger House.
