Head over Heels at Park Playhouse

SONGS BY THE GO-GO’S BASED ON THE ARCADIA BY SIR PHILIP SIDNEY ADAPTED BY JAMES MAGRUDER CONCEIVED & ORIGINAL BOOK BY JEFF WHITTY MUSICAL DIRECTION BY BRIAN AXFORD CHOREOGRAPHY BY ASHLEY-SIMONE KIRCHNER DIRECTED BY MICHAEL LOPORTO Head Over Heels is a brand new, hysterical musical comedy that features the classic 1980’s tunes of The Go-Go’s and Belinda Carlisle. From “We’ve Got the Beat,” to “Heaven is a Place on Earth,” “Vacation,” and “Mad About You,” the show features twenty classic 80’s songs in all their glory. But this isn’t just your average jukebox musical… Based on Sir Philip Sydney’s The Countess of Pembrooke’s Arcadia, the story follows a King, a Queen and their two daughters as they try to keep their subjects and their kingdom together, all while dealing with the tribulations of love and family themselves. Through mistaken identities, love and loss and an adventurous journey, the people of Arcadia learn that whether you are straight or gay, cis or trans, old or young, or anything in between, everyone is part of keeping “the beat” alive. With a side-splitting book by Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q) and James McGrudder (Triumph of Love) infused with classic 80’s rock, audiences couldn’t ask for a more fun way to spend a summer night!
