VancouverMusicals.com update, June edition
Hi all! Lots of great musicals are coming up this month… including one that I myself am appearing in! That would be Priscilla, Queen of the Damned – the latest comedy extravaganza from The Broadway Chorus. They are the group that is responsible for kick-starting my passion for musical theatre when I joined them back in 2000… yes, 10 whole years ago!
While there is no shortage of vampires stalking the airwaves and movie houses these days, “Priscilla” puts a different spin on things – here, the vampires are battled by a trio of heroic… drag queens. Yes, it’s ghouls vs. glitter, with a bit of Frankenstein thrown in too, along with a great cross-section of Broadway and pop hits from Hair and Legally Blonde to Shrek, The Musical, and even Lady Gaga – as well as two uproarious all-new original numbers. It’s scary good fun!
Priscilla runs from June 16 (preview) to 19 at the Waterfront Theatre.
Also coming up this month:
NINE – June 2-6
The musical interpretation of Fellini’s “8 1/2″, recently seen on the big screen.
GODSPELL – June 2-30
Often produced with highly unusual settings, this time the entire show takes place as an episode of the 60’s TV show “Laugh-In”.
LOVE AT FIRST BITE – June 10-12
A comic look at the vampire craze – this one featuring all original songs.
There’s much, much more – check the Vancouver Musical Theatre Calendar for all the details.
Thanks for supporting Vancouver’s incredible musical theatre scene.. “See you at the show!”

May 11th, 2010By Andrea Loewen, Pacific Theatre
If Jesus hung out with the prostitutes and tax collectors, does it makes sense that he might also hang out with Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Eileen Brennan, Dan Rowan, and Dick Martin? Not exactly what you would picture when you think of the Apostles, but then, the original 12 probably [...]
