Musical Theatre Guild has announced its 2008-2009 season of concert versions of classic musicals, to be presented at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, California.

The season begins on September 15 with the Cy Coleman-Dorothy Fields-Michael Bennett musical Seesaw, based on William Gibson's romantic drama Two for the Seesaw. It will be followed by Frank Loesser's The Most Happy Fella (November 10), based on Sidney Howard's They Knew What They Wanted about a lonely vineyard owner who arranges for a younger bride; the beloved Burton Lane-E.Y. Harburg-Fred Saidy musical Finian's Rainbow (February 23); Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb's Kiss of the Spider Woman (April 20), based on the Manuel Puig novel about a pair of unlikely cellmates; and Brian Crawley and Jeanine Tesori's Violet (June 15), based on Doris Betts' short story about a scarred young woman who meets two handsome soldiers on a bus.

In addition, The Most Happy Fella will be presented at the Thousand Oaks Civics Arts Plaza on November 23, and Finian's Rainbow will be seen there on March 1.

The Guild's next production will be a revised version of Cole Porter's Out of This World on April 23 at the Alex, directed and choreographed by Todd Nielsen.
