Altar Boyz

Broadway veteran Janie Scott returns to Cabrillo Stage to kick off the summer seasoning on June 27 with the direction of the “high-octane entertainment” Altar Boyz, the holy inspiring story of five small-town boys—Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham—trying to save the world one screaming fan at a time. Their pious pop act, including lyrics like “Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait” and “Jesus Called Me on My Cell Phone,” worked wonders on the Ohio bingo-hall-and-pancake-breakfast circuit. But when fate brings them to New York, will the boys take a bite out of the forbidden apple? With angelic voices, sinfully spectacular dancing and a touching story, Altar Boyz is destined to rock the masses of all denominations. Musical direction by Max Bennett-Parker, based on the book by Kevin Del Aguila with music and lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick Walker.

Putting It Together

As the summer continues into July, director Michael J. McGushin heats up the stage with the musical revue Putting it Together beginning July 11. Various songs by the masterful Stephen Sondheim are woven into a new storyline in which a party thrown by a wealthy, older married couple involves a younger man, a frisky maid and a comedic commentator. The entangled relationships between five party guests confront the complexities that make up today’s modern relationships. The production includes songs from Sondheim’s original musicals and films including A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Merrily We Roll Along, Anyone Can Whistle, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, The Frogs, and Sweeney Todd. This production is devised by Stephen Sondheim and Julia McKenzie.

Oliver!

As the summer winds down, Cabrillo Stage great Dustin Leonard returns July 25 to direct Oliver!, Lionel Bart’s musical masterpiece based on the novel by Charles Dickens, which follows the plucky Oliver Twist in his plight around Victorian London. Orphaned Oliver goes from mistreatment in the London workhouses to being recruited by the Artful Dodger to pick pockets for the roguish Fagin, the kindhearted Nancy, and the menacing Bill Sykes, before finally finding a home. Enjoy the pathos and drama, while delighting in such musical theatre classics as “Food, Glorious Food,” “I’d Do Anything,” “Where is Love?,” “Consider Yourself,” “As Long As He Needs Me,” and “Reviewing the Situation.” This show is choreographed by Brance Souza with musical direction by Jon Nordgren.
