Starbuck, the rainmaker, comes to town to end the drought and maybe bring a little romance to Lizzie in this Jones and Schmidt musical based on The Rainmaker. Lizzie, the focus of this charming musical, is a spinster living on a ranch in the American Southwest. She has spent most of her life taking care of her widowed father and unruly brothers. Now there is a chance for romance. Will it be the shy and cautious sheriff File, or the dashing charismatic conman Starbuck? It is an all-American love story for the entire family. Originally on Broadway in 1963, the 2007 revival featuring Audra McDonald received 5 Tony Award nominations
