"Hockey - The Musical!" a show Albom laughingly describes as "Spamalot - with hockey sticks" returns to the City Theatre Thursday, July 13 through Sunday, August 6.
The concept is sure to draw theater fans and sports fans alike: When the Lord decides the world has too many sports, He decides to wipe out one – hockey - to teach mankind a lesson. Only five mismatched fans can try and save their beloved game in this hysterical, raucous, foot-tapping musical with book, original music and lyrics by Mitch Albom.
