Recent discussions with shutterbug93 have made me aware of some more upcoming theatre of interest. I’m posting this here mostly for my reference, but others might be interested as well:
Valley Musical Theatre: The 2007 has at least 3 musicals of interest: They’re Playing Our Song (Feb 23-Mar 11, 2007); Little Shop of Horrors (April 20-May 6, 2007); and Baby (Sept 21-Oct 7, 2007). I’ve seen two of these before: I saw “They’re Playing Our Song” when it was originally at the Ahmanson in the 1970s, and “Baby” in the mid-1990s when it was at the Morgan-Wixson. This might be worth season tickets.
Santa Clarita Rep East: The REP has made a change to their 2007 season. The second show is now The Last 5 Years. I saw this earlier this year at the Pasadena Playhouse, but I know that nsshere wants to see it, so perhaps I’ll take her.
Steve Allen Theatre: The MySpace page for The Beastly Bombing announces the dates for the 2007 shows. For those that haven’t seen it, it is worth going to. Prepare to be offended. You can get snippits of the music from the MySpace page or the Beastly Bombing home page.
The Magnificent Moorpark Melodrama and Vaudeville Company Theatre on High Street: There are two melodramas on the schedule: The Beatles Slept Here! (Jan 27-Feb 11, 2007) and Rex Bravo the Whistling Cowboy (April 6-29, 2007). These were fun in the days of the “Triple M”, and might be worth exploring.
Moorpark College: This is where I took nsshere to see her first musical. They have some interesting productions coming up, but their full 2007 schedule isn’t up yet.
So what’s next on the Theatre calendar for me? We’re seeing Santaland Diaries/Seasons Greetings this Saturday at the REP, and of course, on Christmas, we’re doing what every good Jew does: we’re seeing a movie–most likely Dreamgirls (which I originally saw at the Schubert during it’s original tour) and having Chinese food.
