STAGE TUBE: Bailiwick Chicago presents Departure Lounge
By: Gabrielle Sierra
DEPARTURE LOUNGE is Directed by Artistic Advisor Tom Mullen with Music Direction by Executive Director Kevin Mayes at the Royal George Cabaret Theater
With book, music & lyrics by Dougal Irvine and produced in association with Hilary A. Williams and Andy Barnes, DEPARTURE LOUNGE follows four less-than-innocent 18-year olds caught between adolescence and adulthood who are delayed at Malaga Airport after a week in the sun to celebrate their graduation from school. As they reminisce about their time together, it soon becomes clear that their individual memories of the holiday are at odds, particularly when it comes to romance and the girl on all their minds. Is she as innocent as we're led to think, and will the boys friendships hold firm as they all face a coming of age? With a progressive pop score, close four-part harmonies, and a wicked sense of humor, DEPARTURE LOUNGE was a hit at the Edinburgh Festival and Summer Play Festival in New York, and will have its first commercial run in London opening this September.For tickets call 312-988-9000 or visit www.bailiwickchicago.com. Playing at the Royal George Theatre, 1641 N. Halsted, Chicago, through December 12, 2010.
