Solve the riddle, if you can….
What has ten legs and five wheels, tickles funny bones, makes toes tap, fingers snap and soothes the soul? Give up?—The multi-talented cast of “BeDazzled,” that sellout show that captivated Vallarta audiences last season with its wonderful medley of songs and scenes from landmark Broadway productions. Reprised for five encore (Wednesday) performances November 14th through December 12th at Santa Barbara Theater.
This year’s production includes new show-stopping songs from Phantom of the Opera, Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Dream Girls, in addition to the original array of melodies from landmark musicals such as Cats, Rent, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Chicago, Chess, Les Miserables, Aspects Of Love, and Annie Get Your Gun, to name a few. All totaled, this sparkling musical review delivers over two dozen memorable tunes from twelve timeless Broadway musicals.
With the combined lung power and extensive performance credits of five of Vallarta’s finest singers, including Sharon Baughman-White, David White, PT Ringness (all three part of the original cast) and BeDazzled newcomers—Graciela Ringness and Cathy Overly, performances promise a night of non-stop, top notch entertainment. Tickets are just $350 pesos for both dinner and the two-hour show, available at the box office (351 Olas Altas) or on-line: santabarbaratheater.com
Oh, about the ¨5 wheels¨ mentioned in the opening question of this article… Just weeks before the show’s debut, one of the ensemble members took a nasty spill while on vacation and broke an ankle. But, the show must go on! So with the help of a cane, some ingenious teamwork, and an office chair, (Get it? -¨five wheels¨) Bedazzled will open as promised, bigger and better than ever. Don’t miss this stellar show, a treat for all ages. For further information, call 223-2048.
