Read Time:1 Minute, 16 Second

Fountain Hills Theater is proud to announce the world premier of a new musical, The Man Who Would Be King, based on the story by Rudyard Kipling and adapted by Peter J. Hill, with original music by Reynaldo Saenz and lyrics by Peter J. Hill and Rudyard Kipling. (You won’t see Lizz on stage this time, but she will be in the “pit” playing guitar and 2nd percussion!) This tale follows two rogue British officers who set off on a journey for adventure and end up the kings of a Pakistani province called Kafiristan. The story explores themes of courage, lust and redemption. It was made into a movie in 1975, starring Michael Caine and Sean Connery.
