Premiere of 'Pazzazzo' at Grand Performing Arts Center

The world premiere of the supercalifragilistic new original full-scale musical production of Pazzazzo will open at Santa Barbara's Grand New Performing Arts Center on June 21st. The production will star Dale Kristien, Adam Wylie and Alan Rachins with words and music by Milt Larsen and Oscar winning composer Richard M. Sherman (Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang).

"Set in colorful New York during the turn of the last century - The story depicts a very young George M. Cohan (Adam Wylie) before he became the "King of Broadway" and his relationship with two influential vaudeville comedians, whose theatre - The Weber and Fields Broadway Music Hall - was the home to the greatest stars of the day such as Lillian Russell (Dale Kristien) and where New York's social elite were to see or be seen.  The success of the Music Hall fused the ruthless syndicate of the time with envy and a desire to put them out of business," press notes state.
