LEGALLY BLONDE: THE MUSICAL & HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING JULY 8 – AUGUST 17, 2013
Enjoy an evening under the stars July 8th – August 17th at Malkin Bowl (610 Pipeline Road) in Stanley Park as Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) presents Legally Blonde: The Musical and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying for its 67th season. Tickets available now by phone 604.696.4295 or online www.tuts.ca.
Legally Blonde: The Musical, written by Heather Hach, Laurence O’Keefe and Neil Benjamin, is an exhilarating re-imagining of the hit film about sorority girl Elle Woods, her little dog Bruiser and other favourite characters who take Harvard Law School by storm, learning a few things about love and life along the way. Legally Blonde will mark the TUTS directorial debut of the very talented Valerie Easton, who will be joined by music director Danny Balkwill.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, written by the talented Frank Loesser, filters the era of “Mad Men” through a wonderfully comic lens, and features some of the best songs written for musical theatre. Recent revivals on Broadway have featured Matthew Broderick, Daniel Radcliffe and Nick Jonas. The creative team for How to Succeed includes TUTS alumni Sarah Rodgers (director of previous hits Anything Goes and The Music Man), choreographer Shelley Stewart Hunt (Bye Bye Birdie, Singin in the Rain) and music director Christopher King (Thoroughly Modern Millie, The Music Man).
“We are thrilled to be presenting these two fantastic and high-energy shows for our 67th season,” says James Cronk, managing producer. “The fun and hijinks of Legally Blonde speak for themselves, and How to Succeed is a sharp and witty musical. Both casts include some of Vancouver’s best and brightest talents, so we expect that this will be TUTS most unforgettable season EVER!’
Individual show tickets are priced at $19-$44. Tickets available by phone 604.696.4295, online www.tuts.ca/tickets, or at the door. Early Bird tickets are available until June 15th. (Note: all performances begin at 8pm except July 27, 31 & August 3 when the show starts at 7pm.)
