Paint Your Wagon

Ordway Center for the Performing Arts
345 Washington St St. Paul

A sweeping saga of the mythic West that first debuted on Broadway in 1951, Lerner and Loewe's Paint Your Wagon tells the inspiring story of the rise and fall of a remote mining town during the height of the California Gold Rush. Journey with intrepid men and women from around the world as they take an epic leap of faith, crossing continents and oceans in search of the American Dream -- only to find themselves swept up in a clash of cultures, greed and romance. Filled with popular tunes like "They Call the Wind Maria" and "Wand'rin Star," this world premiere performance at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in Minneapolis features an all-new book commissioned from celebrated writer Jon Marans (The Temperamentals).
