For the first time in its 11-Season history, Men Alive - The Orange County Gay Men's Chorus will be debuting a show out-of-town before its official opening!
An exclusive hour-long full-production presentation of VON TRAPPED! has been commissioned for the 2012 GALA Choruses Festival In Denver, CO on July 11 at the Buell Theatre.
VON TRAPPED! is Men Alive'suniquely entertaining, wholly original tribute to the Tony and Oscar-winning musical THE SOUND OF MUSIC... the way only we can do it!
Arguably one of the worlds most beloved musicals of all timeboth as a Broadway stage smash and a silver-screen global blockbusterTHE SOUND OF MUSIC (and its memorable song book penned by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein III) will be revived and transformed into a one-of-a-kind extravaganza featuring moving orchestrations, genre-crossing remixes, fabulous costumes, buoyant choreography, and even a few rowdy, yodel-loving goats!
THE SOUND OF MUSICs familiar tunesfrom the frothy fun of My Favorite Things, So Long, Farewell, and Do-Re-Mi to the sweeping grandeur of Edelweiss, Something Good, Climb Evry Mountain, and, of course, the title songwill all get the signature Men Alive touch.
Leading this uniquely "Men Alive-d" tribute will be a troupe of singing thespians playing heroine governess Maria, her dashing suitor Captain Von Trapp, and his seven adorable children. And what would a wacky tribute to THE SOUND OF MUSIC be without a full-on goat puppet show? And nuns. Lots and lots of nuns.
As to be expected at a Men Alive show, hilarious, high-camp moments and dazzling visuals and special effects are intertwined seamlessly with Men Alives masterful choral musicality.
So get set, Denver... because this summer, the hills are Men Alive with THE SOUND OF MUSIC!
