Sweet Hot Last Leaf

Last Leaf Productions will offer "Sweet and Hot," a musical revue originally conceived by Julianne Boyd to showcase the many wonderful songs written by Harold Arlen.

Harold Arlen was a prolific and popular composer through the years 1930-1970.

Together with different lyricists including Ira Gershwin, Johnny Mercer and Truman Capote, he wrote hundreds of songs that have become standards in American music. His work includes Get Happy, Blues in the Night, Stormy Weather, Let's Fall in Love, and the songs from The Wizard of Oz including Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

For Last Leaf Productions, Terence Alaric Levitt will serve as music director and accompanist for the show. Terry is a composer himself and has written many shows produced in the Seattle area and in California where he studied music and composition.

He will be joined by Keith Ruby to fill out the musical accompaniment for the show.

Performers include Pat Haines-Ainsworth who played Sister Hubert in Last Leaf's production of "Nunsense" that played in the Byrnes Performing Arts Center two years ago. Also featured will be Jonathan Reis, Emily Cawley, Krista Erickson and Buddy Mahoney who have performed on many Western Washington stages including Village Theatre, Northwest Savoyards and Seattle Musical Theatre
