In 1985 The UDT presented the “American Premiere” of Tim Rice’s BLONDEL. In 1988 we staged an encore presentation, both to very enthusiastic audience response. This year Tim Rice has rewritten the show and has re-titled it LUTE! We are proud to present the “World Premiere” of a story that takes place in 1189 England and features as its characters, King Richard the Lion Heart, the evil Prince John, a confused Assassin, 4 be-bopping Monks, the put upon Fiona and of course the minstrel Blondel (along with his back-up group, The Blondettes) who plucks his lute all over Europe searching for his king while trying to write the biggest hit song of the 80’s (the 1180’s)! The show features witty lyrics, beautiful music and an extremely funny story that had our audiences laughing the whole way through. If you attended our 25th Anniversary concert you may remember the songs “Running Back for More”, “The Monks Introduction” and “No Rhyme for Richard”. Don’t miss your chance to see what surprises Tim Rice has cooked up in this new version in its “World Premiere” at UTEP.
