Sharply intelligent Lizzie Curry is considered unlucky in love by her father and brothers but remains unwilling to settle for a man who can’t live up to her standards. As her family schemes to change her fortunes amid a blistering hot summer in the Dust Bowl, a smooth-talking stranger arrives in town, promising to bring down the rain within 24 hours. As the town waits for the skies to open, Lizzie considers how to find the place between what is possible and what she dreams could be. Nominated for multiple Tony Awards during its original 1964 Broadway production and the 2007 Broadway revival, this lyrical and heartfelt musical set in 1936 is an inspiring story of looking past your pain to what the future can hold.
