THE ANDREW BROTHERS, ALWAYS...PATSY CLINE and More Set for Arundel Barn Playhouse, Summer 2013

The Arundel Barn Playhouse presents An All American 2013 Celebration:

A Maine Premiere THE ANDREW BROTHERS
June 18 to June 29

It's 1945 on an island in the South Pacific and a USO show is about to be cancelled when the Andrew Sisters fail to appear. It's up to three determined 4F stagehands to go on with the show. Filled to the brim with slapstick comedy, old-fashioned romance and guys in drag, this salute to the swinging 40's has over 25 top tunes like Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive. Let us put a smile on your face and a song in your heart!

All That Jazz CHICAGO
July 2 to July 13
In Chicago's roaring 20's, Roxie Hart murders her faithless lover, is convicted and sent to death row where she and Velma Kelly, another merry murderess, vie for the public spotlight. Add Billy Flynn, a smarmy lawyer, Warden Mama Morton and the female inmates of death row, Amos Hart and Mary Sunshine to these real life 1924 criminal cases of women, betrayed and catapulted to celebrity fame. Wild music, bootleg gin and razzle dazzle make this All American musical an exhilarating evening of live theatre.

A New England Premiere SHREK THE MUSICAL
July 16 to August 3
Join a loveable green ogre named Shrek as he sets out to reclaim his home swamp from a gang of fairy tale misfits. He and his chatterbox companion, Donkey, must rescue the dragon-guarded Princess Fiona and deliver her to the diminutive Lord Farquaad who must marry a princess to become a king and make Dulac a real kingdom. A family friendly tale with lightheaded love, engagingly silly laughter and the hope of the 'happily ever after'.

Grab Your Blue Suede Shoes ALL SHOOK UP
August 6 to August 17
In the summer of '55, a hip-swiveling guitar player arrives in a small Midwestern town to 'shake, rattle & roll'. In the next 24 hours, five mixed-up love stories start percolating. Part camp, part romantic farce, this funhouse ride is filled with toe tapping and hand clapping. This high energy juke box musical features Presley favorites including Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Teddy Bear, Hound Dog, Love Me Tender, Now Or Never, Don't Be Cruel, One Night With You and eighteen more!

A Musical Legend Always...Patsy Cline
August 20 to August 31
One of America's best-loved musicals about Patsy Cline, the greatest female country superstar, based on her friendship with a devoted fan, Houston housewife Louise Seger. A true story of humor, sadness and reality featuring more than 25 hits like Walkin' After Midnight, Crazy, She's Got You, I Fall To Pieces and Sweet Dreams!
