“Behind the Curtain: Untold Stories from Canada’s Team Broadway” at Revolution Stage Company

After a sold-out show in November,  “Behind the Curtain: Untold Stories from Canada’s Team Broadway” returns to the Revolution Stage Company in Palm Springs at 7 p.m. on April 21st, kicking off a multi-city tour.   This critically-acclaimed song and dance show celebrates the friendship lived and performed by Broadway alumni Craig Ramsay and Catherine Wreford, well known for their recent “Team Broadway” win of Canada’s most popular reality TV show “The Amazing Race Canada”.  Craig and Catherine have crafted this musical cabaret to raise the curtain on their behind-the-scenes experiences on Broadway and the celebrities that they met along the way.  From high notes to their high kicks, the show is packed with favorite Broadway tunes interspersed with unforgettable Broadway stories highlighting their impressive lives and careers on and off stage, under the music direction of Robert Ollis. You will leave with a song in your heart. . . .   

Craig, who started his career in ballet, tells how he entered show business as part of a lengthy tour with the original pre-Broadway cast of the hit show “Mamma Mia!”.  Catherine, his best friend, then convinced him to join her in New York City and before long, they were each involved in various Broadway shows as singer/actor/dancers.  Over the years, they were able to work with many notable directors, composers and choreographers, as well as the famous leading actors and actresses that they shared the stage with.  This cabaret show gives Craig and Catherine a chance to relate some of the humorous, startling or racy anecdotes of their Broadway pasts, including some unique stories of successful auditions.

Craig and Catherine are excited to be returning their show to the Revolution Stage Company, a very special venue that has enlivened the Palm Springs theatre scene since opening its doors in 2023.  Housed in a fully-renovated former playhouse at 611 S. Palm Canyon Drive, Revolution Stage Company offers a distinct experience with its 150 comfortable, cushioned seats, a full-service bar, an ice-cream station and new dressing rooms.  The state-of-the-art video screen (filling the upstage wall), excellent sound system and spacious stage (complete with grand piano), provide an ideal setting for Craig and Catherine’s lively evening of song and dance.
