Cathy Rigby Stars in Reprise! 'Lil Abner' Feb.5-17

By:

The 2007-2008 season of Reprise! Broadway's Best continues with Li'l Abner, to perform Tuesday, February 5 through Sunday, February 17 (press opening February 6) at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. The production will be directed by Michael Michetti, choreographed by Lee Martino and has musical direction by Darryl Archibald. 

Cathy Rigby (Mammy Yokum), Fred Willard (General Bullmoose), and Brandi Burkhardt (Daisy Mae) will star.  The production will be directed by Michael Michetti, choreographed by Lee Martino, and has musical direction by Darryl Archibald. 

"Welcome to Dogpatch, U.S.A., which has just been deemed 'the most unnecessary, no account' town in the country.  In a scramble to keep Dogpatch from being used for atomic testing and to also save the beloved Sadie Hawkins day, Li'l Abner, Daisy Mae and the other wild and colorful citizens of Dogpatch must find a reason why their town is worth something," explain press notes. Based on the famous comic strip by Al Capp, this witty musical satire features the songs "Namely You," "The Country's in the Very Best of Hands,' and the raucous, foot-stomping "Jubilation T. Cornpone."

Li'l Abner will perform Tuesday, February 5 through Sunday, February 17 (press opening February 6) at the Freud Playhouse at UCLA. For tickets, please call the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310/825-2101 or visit www.reprise.org
