This winter Matt Murphy Productions presents its fourth national tour of Virtually Me! (www.virtuallyme.org). Taking place at Wi-Fi High in Anywhere, USA, Virtually Me! is an entirely original, educational musical for today's blogging, emailing, Facebooking, IM'ing, and texting generation. Originally directed by Jeremy Dobrish, this touring production has been remounted by Gina Rattan, and features choreography by Wendy Seyb, music by Jeff Thomson, lyrics by Jordan Mann, and a book by Jeremy Desmon and Jeremy Dobrish.

San Diego Musical Theatre has announced that after producing its critically-acclaimed productions at the Lyceum Theatre in downtown San Diego for the past several seasons, they will be moving into their new home (where their first production of The Full Monty began!), the Birch North Park Theatre, to present the first production of its new 2012 season of shows, THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES, created and directed by Roger Bean, with musical direction by Don LeMaster.

Armed with brand new costumes, sets, choreography and orchestrations created specifically for this nine-performance production, Musical Theatre West's nostalgic yuletide offering of WINTER WONDERETTES--Roger Bean's holiday-themed sequel to his popular 60's-set off-Broadway hit THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES--is no doubt still a reliable, people-pleasing musical confection, full of adorkable charm, safe-for-all gags, and a catalog of memorable holiday tunes that are all wrapped up with the shiniest of trimmings. The show continues through December 18 at the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts in Long Beach.
