SBP Announce 2013-2014 Season

SHOWBIZ PLAYERS ANNOUNCE 2013-2014 SEASON

SBPCARRIE…THE MUSICAL
Sept. 20-29, 2013

Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she’s an outcast who’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it…

Based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel, the musical of Carrie hasn’t been seen since its legendary 1988 Broadway production. Now, the show’s original authors have joined with director Stafford Arima (Altar Boyz) and MCC Theater for a newly reworked and fully re-imagined vision of this gripping tale. Set today, in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the classic film), music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore (Fame, Terms of Endearment), and lyrics by Academy Award winner Dean Pitchford (Fame, Footloose).

Monty Python’s SPAMALOT 
May 30-June 8, 2014

Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, SPAMALOT retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful showgirls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people. Did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls?

All performances will be held at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center, 1028 Scott Blvd, Covington, KY 41011. More information will be coming soon to our website www.showbizplayers.com. If you have any question, call Bunny Arszman at 513-325-7842.

CMT Announces 2013-14 Season

CMT “He who would learn to fly must first learn to stand…walk…run…and dance.” -Friedrich Nietzsche

Cincinnati Music Theatre (CMT) is proud to announce their high stepping, high flying 2013-14 season.

The season will take off on the right foot in November 2013 as CMT presents the Pulitzer Prize winning musical A CHORUS LINE. Set in an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. 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 — to have the chance to dance in a Broadway show. Brian Anderson, who contributed award winning choreography to CMT’s 42nd STREET and HAIRSPRAY, will direct and choreograph this stunning musical-verite, a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compelling human drama. This musical for anyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line features a book by James Kirkwood and Nicolas Dante with music by Marvin Hamlisch and lyrics by Edward Kleban.

Come spring 2014, audiences will be transported to that place “where dreams are born and time is never planned” when CMT presents the high flying classic PETER PAN. Skip Fenker, who has directed CMT’s productions of CHICAGO, DROWSY CHAPERONE and HAIRSPRAY among others, will direct this tale of the boy who wouldn’t grow up. This timeless, enchanting musical is filled with fantasy, adventure, Lost Boys, Indians and Pirates. Celebrating its 60th Anniversary of its Broadway debut, PETER PAN is based on the play by James M. Barrie and features music by Moose Charlap and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh with additional music by Jule Styne and additional lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. This favorite of children of all ages will make you believe again as it flies into your heart, full of faith, trust, and fairy dust!

Don’t miss this season!!

All performances are at the Jarson-Kaplan Theatre of the Aronoff Center.

Subscription sales begin August 1, 2013 at the CAA Box Office, 650 Walnut St. Cincinnati, 45202, or online at www.cincinnatiarts.org or www.cincinnatimusictheatre.org.
