Get Ready for Laughter with Moonlight's Closing Show of the Summer, "Tootsie"

"Tootsie," the musical, will be at the Moonlight Amphitheatre from September 11 to 28 to close the theatre's summer season. This fun and energetic show is based on the classic 1982 film, with catchy music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a witty book by Robert Horn.

The story follows Michael Dorsey, a talented but difficult actor. After burning too many bridges in the industry, he has one last wild idea to turn his career around. Enter Dorothy Michaels—Michael’s new drag persona! When Dorothy is cast as the lead in a hot new Broadway show, Michael’s career takes off in ways he never expected. But as the fame piles up, so do the challenges. Will Michael’s biggest role yet be the one that changes everything?

"Tootsie" is rated R for strong language and adult themes, so plan accordingly if you're thinking of bringing younger theatergoers along.
