WE’RE COMING BACK TO SEATTLE!
 

Showtunes Theatre Company has formed a producing association with two highly respected and nationally acclaimed theatrical organizations - Broadway Across America (BAA) and Seattle Theatre Group (STG) - and will now be presenting our concerts at the legendary Moore Theatre in downtown Seattle!

Our significant news does not stop there.  We are also thrilled to announce new leadership for our company. Martin Charnin, the creator of over 125 theatrical productions in New York, and now an area resident, has joined the company as Artistic Director. Martin is most particularly noted as the creator, lyricist and director of ANNIE.  Maggie Stenson Pehrson continues as Executive Producer of the company, while David-Edward Hughes remains actively involved on the Showtunes Board.

"Follies remains one of the sure-fire argument starters in the musical theater," read the original recording's liner notes. "The show smudges the lines between reality and theater...challenging an audience to abandon its illusions, not just about the theater, but life itself." Newsweek said "It's a brilliant show, wonderfully entertaining, extraordinarily intelligent with a stunning direct appeal...Sondheim must be credited with as brilliant a burst of creativity as American theater has seen in a long time." Filled with favorites like "Broadway Baby", "Losing My Mind", and "I'm Still Here", musical comedy doesn't get any better, and as cults go, this isn't a bad one to join. We've all had the experience of leaving a performance of a play so powerful that we can't quite adjust, once it ends. Come see Showtunes' concert production and experience the wonder of 1970's "Follies."  




 

 

 

CALL ME MADAM
Book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse
Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin
8 PM Saturday, September 25, 2010
2 PM Sunday, September 26, 2010
The Moore Theatre
1932 Second Avenue
Seattle WA 98101
$25 Reserved Seating

"Call Me Madam" was a romp---a bawdy mixture of folly and politics that lured Ethel Merman back to Broadway after her triumph in "Annie Get Your Gun," which was also written by Irving Berlin. Taking place in two fictional countries, Lichtenburg and America, the authors tweaked everything the traffic would allow, as they invented a female ambassador with a penchant for the faux pas, but close ties to President Truman. They send her off to a tiny European country hoping to keep her out of trouble, but find that she can make mischief anywhere. This delicious Berlin score contains, among other standards, "The Hostess With The Mostess," "It's A Lovely Day Today," "The Best Thing For You Would Be Me," and the grand duet, "You're Just In Love." It's a rarely produced musical that you go into singing the score, and come out of with the realization that politics does indeed make strange bedfellows.
