THE WEDNESDAY MORNING FAIRY-TALE MUSICAL SERIES
WAKEFIELD, RI – In celebration of 89 years of Theatre By The Sea (TBTS), owner and producer Bill Hanney is proud to announce a New Fairy-Tale Musical Series, which will be presented on select Wednesdays in June, July and August.
“For the past several years we have included several fairy-tale musicals produced by Kaleidoscope Theatre in our Children’s Festival,” said Theatre By The Sea owner and producer Bill Hanney. “When we learned that they were unable to tour this summer, we inquired about producing their musicals ourselves and they were thrilled!”
As a result, Theatre By The Sea has formed the TBTS Fairy-Tale Touring Company and will be producing the following musicals as originally produced by Kaleidoscope Theatre, for which the book, music, and lyrics were written by David G. Payton:
June 29 – Beauty and the Beast
Beauty saves her father but then must endure the hardships of the Beast’s castle while her silly sisters, Flora and Dora, delight in her absence. Love conquers all in this retelling of the classic original tale with a little something for everyone: music, dance, magic, and merriment! A show the whole family won’t want to miss! Beauty and the Beast will be presented at 10:00 am & 12:00 noon.
July 6 – Aladdin
A silly sultan, an evil vizier, a beautiful princess, a powerful genie, and an incredible lad named Aladdin, all come together for an exhilarating carpet ride through bazaars, caves of jewels, and palaces beyond description. Make sure you’re onboard when this delightful children’s theatre family musical takes off for magical merriment galore! Aladdin will be presented at 10:00 am & 12:00 noon.
August 24 – Sleeping Beauty
A king who snores, a dragon who roars, a prince whose love misses until a princess he kisses, when all is said and done a whole lot of family fun! It’s more than just magical… It’s a wonderful show! A celebration with music, fun, and heroic deeds! Sleeping Beauty will be presented at 10:00 am & 12:00 noon.
Before or after the show families can enjoy cold drinks and light bites, which will be available for purchase at the gazebo.
