'Oh My Godmother!' to Extend till August 31st

San Francisco audiences have made it clear - they want more Oh My Godmother! Ron Lytle's charming musical comedy, a gay retelling of the Cinderella story, will now play through Sunday, August 31, at Zeum Theater (Fourth and Howard Streets, San Francisco). For tickets and more information, call 800.838.3006 or visit www.ohmygodmother.com.

"It is such a thrill to see the audience respond so strongly to this show night after night," said Lytle. "At every performance we've seen a packed house laughing and clapping, even singing the tunes at intermission. From where I sit, this is just the kind of entertainment San Francisco wants this summer, and I'm glad we can keep the good times rolling through August."

Producer Barbara Nemer added, "When I first saw this show, I knew it was special. There was something about it that made everyone, no matter who they were, enjoy themselves. It's just so much fun! I am honored to have brought this show to San Francisco, where it belongs. The cast, crew, Ron and I are all looking forward to a summer full of laughs."

Oh My Godmother! tells the hilarious story of Albert, a young gay man living in San Francisco with dreams of escaping his homophobic stepmother and stepsisters. Fate intervenes in his search for true love when he meets the dashing it-boy Prince. There's only one problem: a comically delicious turn of events leaves Prince with no idea who Albert really is, or how to find him. Leave it to Albert's fun and dishy Godmother (a man) to save the day with his sage advice and uproarious antics. Lots of zany humor, snappy dialogue, syncopated showstoppers, and soaring romance makes this the #1 musical to see this summer in San Francisco.

Bay Area critics have joined in the cheers. The San Francisco Chronicle says "the show is relentlessly cute and campy - which is the point!" The San Francisco Examiner called it "a San Francisco treat … boasting a big heart, soul and spirit." SF Weekly raved "if clever musicals are your thing, this one will definitely get you smiling and clapping along." Chad Jones added the show "has charm and exuberance to spare… you'll be hard pressed to find any musical, new or old, more carefree and gay than Oh My Godmother!"

A San Francisco cast recording of Oh My Godmother!, featuring all 20 of Lytle's delightful original songs, is available at all performances and at www.ohmygodmother.com. The CD retails for $20.

Tickets to Oh My Godmother! are $25 (Thursday evenings), $35 (Friday and Saturday evenings), and $30 (Sunday matinees). Discounts are available for students and seniors. To purchase tickets, call 800.838.3006 or visit www.ohmygodmother.com.
