FOR SEASIDE MUSIC THEATER'S

 WINTER 2005-06 SEASON – Our

most "moving" season yet!


 Preparations have begun for

 Seaside

 Music Theater's (SMT) most "moving"

 season ever, Winter 2005-06. With two tender-hearted audience-pleasing musicals, SMT waves goodbye to its SMT Downtown stage and hello to its new one in the magnificent newly-built News-Journal Center.

First, SMT pays a heartfelt tribute to its SMT Downtown facility and to one of music's most celebrated legends in Always…Patsy Cline, October 27 – November 20. In this last theatrical production on this downtown stage, a stage that has held such characters as Roxie Hart, Groucho Marx, the Magical Mr. Mistofellees, Peter Rabbit, and Audrey II to name a few, SMT adds one final personality to SMT Downtown's history with Patsy.

Patsy's voice, heart, and famous sense of humor are captured by SMT actress Darlin Barry, who has appeared in SMT's productions of Oklahoma! (Aunt Eller), A Tale of Two Cities (Miss Pross), Ragtime (Houdini's Mother), Honky Tonk Angels (Angela), and Nunsense (Sister Mary Regina). Barry has played Patsy five times before and says that the most rewarding thing about doing so is when people say that she's brought her back for a few hours. Always…Patsy Cline features over 25 of Patsy's songs and tells a touching story of friendship that properly gives SMT Downtown a sweet and celebratory ride into the sunset.

And then to celebrate the long-awaited move into its brand new News-Journal Center theater, SMT brings back by overwhelming popular demand its most raved about production ever – Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which will run January 27 – February 5, 2006 at the new Center. SMT's production of Beauty and the Beast was cut short by an unexpected visit from Hurricane Charley in Summer 2004, and thousands of Central Florida residents missed their opportunity to see the magical, musical fairy tale called "a beauty of a show" by the Orlando Sentinel.

Now, SMT will perform an enhanced and even more spectacular production of the musical, bringing back favorite actors to rekindle the excitement the show brought to audiences two years ago.

"Having done the production before, we now have an opportunity to take it even farther towards our artistic vision on a bigger and better stage built just for us," says SMT Artistic Director Lester Malizia, who will once again direct the production for SMT.
