San Diego Gay Men's Chorus to Present CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'

Go west this spring as the award-winning San Diego Gay Men's Chorus premieres its highly anticipated new show California Dreamin' at the historic Balboa Theatre on April 23 and 24.

Created by Artistic Director RC Haus, this fun-in-the-sun show features songs with a decidedly Californian flair. There will be Disneyland princesses gloriously proclaiming love, a medley of earthquake proportions featuring Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and a battle of the California girls/gurls between Katy Perry and the Beach Boys.

"This isn't just a concert-it's a SHOW!" proclaimed Haus. "So hold onto your surfboards and put sunscreen on the kids because we're getting ready to have a lot of fun with some really fantastic music."

SDGMC's 160 singing Californians will serve as musical tour guides from the north with "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" down to Los Angeles for a stay at the "Hotel California." The show even travels south of the border to explore some Latin rhythms including a special guest appearance by the San Diego Women's Chorus.

The popular Mood Swings ensemble returns with their hilarious take on California's favorite TV families from the Clampetts in Beverly Hills to the Bradys of the LA burbs to the cozy three-some Jack, Chrissy and Janet in Santa Monica. There may even be some Baywatch hunks in slow mo!

"You never know what to expect at one of our shows-except that you'll always have a wonderful time," said Bob Lehman, SDGMC Executive Director. "And that's because our singers will be having a wonderful time as well."
