New Kid in Town
Featuring Hotel California - A Salute to the Eagles
April 30 - May 16
Fri @ 8 pm/ Sat @ 4 pm and 8 pm/ Sunday @ 4 pm
Directed by Shawn Hillman
Choreographed by Amy Weisenhorn
For more than two decades, Hotel California has touched the hearts of fans all over the world, by faithfully and accurately reproducing the Grammy award winning sounds of the Eagles. Now, this dynamic, highly acclaimed band launches a bold new production, New Kid in Town, which tosses musical theatre convention out the window by using dance to drive the affecting narrative woven thru the lyrics of Eagles songs.
An inspired concept by award winning producer Shawn Hillman shifts the storytelling balance from song to dance, hence 'dansical' versus 'musical'. In addition to a compelling love story supplied by some of rock's finest storytelling songwriters, the Eagles, Choreographer Amanda Marquardt has created the added bonus of a wide array of dance styles from swing to Jazz to Burlesque. It's an ideal piece for theatergoers looking to broaden their horizons.
World class band Hotel California supplies the excitement, magic and music of the Eagles. The band's mastery of authentic vintage instruments coupled with tight harmonies and engaging stage persona recreates the Eagles phenomenon. Hotel California has honed their show to become one of the most musically satisfying acts in North America.
The combination of lyrics and dance drives the plot without dialogue. It reveals that dance as a form of storytelling' whether in the form of a ballet or contemporary choreography can be as potent and emotionally jarring as any reflective Sondheim ballad or belted Broadway song.
The show, a production of the newly formed Blue Moon Theatre Company in Whittier, follows a young man on a journey of self discovery that leads him far from home. After a misunderstanding with his girl and his parents, the young hero hits the open road. It doesn't take him long to realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence, so he longs for what he had. This premiere engagement is a showcase of The Eagles megahits such as 'Take it Easy' 'Heartache Tonight' , 'Hotel California' , 'Witchy Woman' and, of course, 'New Kid in Town.'
So join us now on a trip down a dark desert highway, feel the cool wind in your hair, and experience the unforgettable sounds and dance of New Kid in Town, featuring Hotel California.
