Cacophony Daniels Returns in Howard Ashman Tribute UNDER THE C

On June 10, Cacophony Daniels (Courter Simmons) will return "Under the 'C'," in a fun and inspirational cabaret tribute to Grammy- and Oscar-winning playwright and lyricist Howard Ashman that celebrates the lovable misfit in us all.

Directed by Jonathan Hadley, with music direction by Kyle Branzel, "Under the 'C'" honors the recent 25th anniversary of Howard Ashman's death from AIDS-related complications.
Performed only as Cacophony can -- in their original keys -- featured songs will include some of Ashman's award-winning standards from Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Little Shop of Horrors, as well as lesser-known gems from Smile, Babe, and Diamonds.

Gerry Geddes of bistroawards.com says the show is "Perfection...It was stunning!"
