Head Over Heels at Davidson Community Players

Original Book by Jeff Whitty; Adaptation by James Magruder; Music by The Go-Go’s

For our flagship summer musical, we present one of the quirkiest, most buoyant Broadway bops of the past decade. A wacky mash-up of a classic Renaissance adventure (Magical kingdoms! True love! Mistaken identities!) and the iconic 80s music of The Go-Go’s, Head Over Heels is a joyful, affirming crowdpleaser that bridges centuries with its message of hope and love.

“Head Over Heels does go retro, but waaay retro, to achieve something rarer and wonderfully strange. They've found the Venn overlap among "We Got the Beat," LGBTQ awakening, and Elizabethan allegory on humane statecraft.” -Village Voice
