For the most part, the theatre stopped doing musicals in the 1990s however the IRT did produce the world premiere musical "Captive Heart: The Frances Slocum Story" (1999), by Jeff Hooper (book) and Bob Lucas (music and lyrics). This musical is based on the story of Maconaquah, which is part of the standard history curriculum in Indiana, and an Indiana premiere of a musical with a book by Wentworth, "Enter the Guardsman", based on the Ferenc Molnár play, "The Guardsman", with music by Craig Bohmler and lyrics by Marion Adler. The IRT has done more recent productions of "Crowns" (Regina Taylor), "The Fantasticks" (Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones), and Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" starring Sylvia McNair.
