British Invasion!
Written By Howard Pechet
and Nevin Grant
|
|
“..a high-voltage tribute to a glittering musical era.” –Louis B. Hobson, The Calgary Sun
“..a thoroughly entertaining skip down memory lane…” –Bob Blakey, The Calgary Herald
“..as exciting to the eye as it is to the ear” –Original Director, Anne Allan
Back by popular demand! The original BRITISH INVASION has been pulled out from the Stage West vault!
In 1962, we were all twisting and shouting to the sound of “Run Around Sue”, listening to the Beach Boys and dreaming of California. Two years later, four mop-haired boys from Liverpool landed in America and changed the landscape forever. Although the BEATLES may have led the invasion, the army was comprised of hundreds of foot soldiers… The Stones, Chad and Jeremy, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cliff Richard, Petula Clark, Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and later Rod Stewart, Tom Jones, Elton John, Annie Lennox and many more. Let us take you on a magical mystery tour as we relive…again… the BRITISH INVASION.

Glorious!
Written by Peter Quilter
|
|
"A delightful, blissfully funny hit."—Daily Telegraph
"Hilarious and touching."—Daily Mail
"A glittering comedy with a heart."—Sunday Times
The joyful Florence Foster Jenkins had a passion for singing, but a voice of disastrous proportions which left audiences crying with laughter. Spinning from her bizarre recording sessions, unbelievable recitals and an ultimate triumph at New York's Carnegie Hall - this is a true, heart-warming story about a group of eccentric friends who lived their dreams. The triumphant West End production was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award as Best New Comedy. |

The Producers
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
Music by Mel Brooks
Lyrics by Mel Brooks
|
|
“The Producers is Broadway at its best (and silliest)… Highly recommended. “ –Jerry Wasserman, Vancouverplays.com
“The show comes at you like a supersonic train from its first scene…” –Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"…the biggest and best thing I ever wrote." – Mel Brooks
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony® Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

2 Pianos 4 Hands
By Ted Dykstra and
Richard Greenblatt
|
|
“A shining '2 Pianos 4 Hands' is about the rigors of mastering the instrument, but it's for anyone with a dream.” -The Los Angeles Times
“…clever, insightful and touching, full of music, humour, story and character.” -Globe and Mail
A riotous tale of two boys in Canada, Ted and Richard, sharing the same goal: concert pianist stardom. They work fervently towards their dream amidst pushy parents, eccentric teachers, hours of repetitive practice, stage fright, the agony of competitions and the dream of greatness. From classical to pops to jazz,the
actors/pianists portray a dazzling range of characters embellished with a show of piano wizardry featuring the music of Bach, Beethoven, Jerry Lee Lewis and many more. 2 Pianos, 4 Hands captures the humour that comes with learning to play the piano, and the sense of loss of eventually learning to let go of the dream.
