The musical that has been dubbed 'an arena -rock love story set to mind blowing, face melting rock hits of the 80's' is a pretty fair description of what took place at the Merriam Theater on Opening Night, October 18th.
The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.), under the Artistic Direction of Diane Paulus, is adding to the already announced season a special family-oriented production - The Snow Queen, Hans Christian Andersen's exuberant ode to childhood. The new stage adaptation for children and their families by Tyler Monroe is directed by Allegra Libonati, with original puppets by Michael Kane, and featuring members of the A.R.T. Institute Class of 2012. The production opens at the Loeb Drama Center on December 10 and runs through December 31.
Villanova Theatre kicks off the 2011-2012 season with The Comedy of Errors, William Shakespeare's fastest, funniest farce. Director Shawn Kairschner's whimsical production of this fan favorite draws inspiration from Western motifs as well as from the eye-popping style and madcap humor of 'Laugh-In,' the groundbreaking TV comedy show of the late 1960s and early 70s.
Villanova Theatre Presents BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL from March 29th - April 17th
Ripped from the hilarious headlines of the supermarket tabloid Weekly World News, this Off-Broadway Musical of the Year details the discovery of a curious creature - half-human, half-vampire bat - found deep within a West Virginia cave. This tongue-in-cheek tale will leave your toes tapping to a score that weaves together rock, pop, Broadway, gospel, and country music. In between howls of laughter, Bat Boy wrestles with the notion of American prejudice, the fierceness of modern religion, the idea of genetic engineering, and loads more.
