Tucson: Winding Road presents The Last Five Years - a musical

Subject: Winding Road's first musical--The Last Five Years by Jason Robert Brown in January 2012

 

Winding Road Theater Ensemble continues it’s third season with Jason Robert Brown’s landmark 2001 one-act musical, The Last Five Years.

Playing January 6th through the 15th at the Cabaret Theatre at Arizona Theatre Company, and January 20th to the 22nd at St. Francis in the Foothills, The Last Five Years tells the story of Jamie Wellerstein, a rising novelist, and Cathy Hyatt, a struggling actress, through the five years of their relationship.

The brilliance of this musical, aside from the music and lyrics, comes in the form Brown chooses to tell the story. Cathy sings through their failed relationship starting at the end and traveling backwards in time to the beginning, while Jamie begins with a song at the end of their first date and ends with his decision end their marriage. The only time the couple come together on stage is midway through the show, when their stories intersect for their wedding.

Winding Road’s first musical stars two of Tucson’s premiere performers, Brian Levario and Ensemble member Amy Erbe, and directed by ensemble member Terry Erbe with musical direction by the very talented Khris Dodge.

 

Reservations can be made now by calling the box office at 401-3626.  Tickets may also be purchased through PayPal on our website www.windingroadtheater.org

 

Wouldn't tickets to The Last Five Years be a wonderful holiday gift!  What a great way to start 2012.

See you in January!

Christmas in the Big Apple

Or "She's Rotten to the Core!"

November 17, 2011 – January 1, 2012

 

It's the winter of 1933 and with the holidays approaching, the natives of "The Big Apple" are getting in the Christmas spirit.  Well, not quite all of them.  Wealthy socialite Vonda De Cringe has set her sights on a take-over of Pennypacker's Department Store.  To realize her nefarious scheme, she plans to disrupt the holiday shopping season by hiring the worst Santa Claus in all of

New York City.  If she has her way,

this will be the last year…

 

"Pennypacker's Means Christmas!"

Will Ms. De Cringe be the worm who turns the Big Apple rotten to the core…or will the holiday spirit triumph?  Find out as The Gaslight Theatre celebrates

"Christmas in the Big Apple!"

 

Opening Cast: Joe Cooper, David Orley, Todd  Thompson, Mike Yarema, Sean MacArthur, Charlie Hall, Sarah Vanek-Stellman, Maria Alburtus, Tarreyn Van Slyke,

            Seivert, Robert Shaw, Betsy Sarah Vanek, Jennie Long.

Tucson: SEE ROCK CITY and DEVIL BOYS FROM BEYOND! LAST CHANCE

Subject: SEE ROCK CITY and DEVIL BOYS FROM BEYOND! LAST CHANCE

 

FINAL WEEKEND! See Rock City & Other Destinations, by Brad Alexander and Adam Mathias won the 2011 Drama Desk award for best book, 2008 Richard Rodgers Award and the 2007 Jerry Bock Award. Featuring singers Nicholas Gallardo, Miranda Sloan, Brian Levario, Amy DeHaven, Rob Roberts, Justin Moore, Kevin Vidal, Jon Holmes and Jolene Lucas. A wanderer believes his destiny is written on rooftops along the North Carolina Interstate. A young man yearns to connect with intelligent life in Roswell , New Mexico . A woman at the Alamo steps out of the shadow of her grandparents' idealized romance to take a chance on love. Three estranged sisters cruise to Glacier Bay to scatter their father's ashes. Two high school boys face unexpected fears in the Coney Island Spook House. A terrified bride-to-be ponders taking the leap...over Niagara Falls . With a score that incorporates pop, rock, folk and more, each story builds on the last to create a vivid travelogue of Americans learning to overcome their fears and expectations. Play Friday, Saturday, Nov. 18 and 19, 7:30pm ~ Sunday, Nov. 20, 3pm. Tickets $22.50 student/senior/teacher, $25.00 general. 

 

"The need to wander, and connect, is what strings these eight stories together. "Rock City" has a score that is largely pop, and you'll find some infectious numbers in it." Arizona Daily Star "The actors all have strong voices, and a few are truly impressive" The Tucson Weekly


AND 



Devil Boys from Beyond by Buddy Thomas and Kenneth Elliott was a hit at the New York Fringe Festival. Arizona Onstage Productions' first late night show brings a little of that sensibility to Tucson. Summer of 1957 is a scorcher and something strange is going on in the swamps of Lizard Lick, Florida. With rumors of missing people and giant spaceships running rampant, star NYC reporter Mattie Van Buren races down in search of her next Pulitzer, her booze-hound ex-husband, Gregory Graham in tow, and her arch-enemy Lucinda Marsh hot on her heels to scoop her story. Flying saucers! Backstabbing bitches! Muscle hunks and men in pumps! INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS meets HIS GIRL FRIDAY in this outrageously insane comedy that is Rated R for Rude! With over the top performances by Andrew Baughman, Nick Gallardo, Brian Levario, T. Loving, Ina Shivack and Eric Taylor, Devil Boys plays Friday and Saturday, Nov. 18 and 19, 10pm ~ Sunday, Nov. 20, 6pm. All tickets are $15.00. 

 

"Everything about the play suggests irreverence. It's a tribute to the campy sci-fi movies of the 1950s and other cinema classics--it's full of characters that evoke His Girl Friday, Peyton Place and Mommie Dearest." Tucson Weekly. "The camped-up story of aliens impregnating earthlings so their race can perpetuate (we think that's the reason) is a one-joker. But the joke worked for two big reasons: Eric Taylor and Andrew Baughman, who play the leads in drag. The show has a couple of other things going for it, namely raunchiness and a willingness to make each moment more outrageous than the last." Arizona Daily Star
