Forum fodder


A mostly musical season is in store for the Forum Theatre Company for 2004-2005.

The Metuchen playhouse will offer two tuners of yore, as well as one new musical revue. "Seesaw" -- the 1973 musical with a book by Michael Bennett, music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Dorothy Fields -- opens the season on Oct. 14 and runs through Nov. 14. It's the story of Gittel, a freewheeling Broadway chorine who takes up with Jerry, a strait-laced Midwestern lawyer.

"Beguiled Again," a revue of Rodgers and Hart's songs, plays Dec. 17-31. Renee Taylor and Joe Bologna wrote and star in "The Bermuda Avenue Triangle," about two senior citizen widows who are conned by a new resident in their condominium complex; it runs Feb. 4-27, 2005.

The season concludes with a revival of "Promises, Promises," the 1968 hit musical version of "The Apartment," in which a would-be executive gives his modest residence to an executive who wants to have an affair there. The show, with book by Neil Simon, music by Burt Bacharach and lyrics by Hal David, plays on dates to be determined in April and May 2005.

Ticket prices and subscription packages to be announced. The Forum Theatre Company is at 314 Main St. in Metuchen. Call (732) 548-0582 or visit www.forumtheatrecompany.
