Theatre 29 has an unusual Valentine’s Day cabaret waiting in the wings. Arts & Entertainment Reporter Charlie Thomas tells you what happens when cupid goes rogue…
Director Liyan McNeltier says, “This isn’t your usual Valentine’s Day themed Cabaret. Sure, you’ll hear songs about love… but it’s not going to be the stuff that dreams are made of. No, this cabaret is dedicated to the rest of us, the ones unlucky in love. Because some of us can’t even get a happy beginning, let alone a happy ending.”
This romantic comedy cabaret show at Theatre 29 will showcase the anti-hero lovers of Broadway musicals as performed by the talented cast of Haley Kooyman, Jericho McNeltier, Jasmine Shaffer, Scott Clinkscales, Liyan McNeltier, Graham Cooley, Audra Puccio Nagby, John Pollnow, Lisa Goldberg, and Ian Ferris.
“Almost Love” is conceived, artistically and musically directed by McNeltier with choreography by Scott Clinkscales and Lisa Goldberg. “Almost Love” plays one weekend only February 18th and 19th at 7:00 p.m. with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday, February 20th. This production is rated M for mature audiences.
