Press Release: Theatre By The Sea Announces Box Office Opening for 2010 Seaon

Theatre By The Sea owner and producer Bill Hanney, Producing Artistic Director Amiee Turner and Managing Producer Joel Kipper are proud to announce the opening of the box office for single ticket sales to the four shows scheduled for the 2010 Summer Season* at Theatre By The Sea. Beginning on Monday, May 10 at 10:00 am, patrons may purchase tickets to any or all of the following fabulous musicals:

A CHORUS LINE: On a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. It's what they've worked for - with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives, it's the one opportunity to do what they've always dreamed of - not to be the star, but just to get a job on the line. From funny to heartbreaking, these 17 dancers share the stories of their lives and when they're done, so is the audition, and the final chorus line is chosen. Music from this Pulitzer Prize winning musical includes "What I Did For Love," "One," and "Dance Ten, Looks Three." Contains adult language and mature content.

A Chorus Line will be presented from June 2 - June 20.

HELLO, DOLLY!: This spectacular musical follows Mrs. Dolly Gallagher Levi on her quest to match three young men with the perfect spouse. Full of glorious dancing and classic tunes, this vibrant testament to the human spirit and joy of living, not only recalls the 1890s era, in which this Jerry Herman musical is set, but also the Golden Age of Broadway. Music includes "Hello, Dolly," "Before the Parade Passes By," and "Put On Your Sunday Clothes," which was featured in the Disney movie Wall-e.

Hello, Dolly! will be presented from June 23 - July 11.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS: Off-Broadway's longest running musical creature-feature combines early rock ‘n' roll, doo-wop and Motown to tell the story of a hapless florist shop worker who discovers an unusual plant... with an even more unusual appetite! Funny and touching and just a little bit creepy, join Seymour, Audrey, a deranged dentist, and the audacious Audrey II for this zany production that's absolutely out of this world! Songs include "Suddenly Seymour," "Somewhere That's Green," and "Feed Me."

Little Shop of Horrors will be presented from July 14 - August 1.

THE FULL MONTY: Based on the international hit film, this grin and bare-it-all musical comedy winningly tells the story of a dispirited group of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, NY, who are desperate to make some quick cash. Jerry, a divorced father behind in his child-support, convinces the gang to become male strippers for a one-night-only event at the local club. The Full Monty will have you cheering as they go all the way to conquer their fears and take charge of their lives. Music includes "Michael Jordan's Ball," "The Goods," and "Let It Go." Contains adult language and mature content.

The Full Monty will be presented from August 4 - August 29.
