The show features nine incredible musicians and singers who not only look exactly like the original ABBA, they also sound unbelievably like them. The show contains 21 of ABBA’s hits, with all the costume changes, choreography, a live band, back-up singers, and big studio sound. For more than 40 years, a time span more than any other group in pop history, the Bee Gees have been outwitting the international music scene with their incredible tenacity to remain current through all time spans of contemporary music. The vocal match of the current performers creates an eerie sense of seeing the Gibb brothers live in concert. The Canadian production “Stayin’ Alive” is a unique recreation of one of the top acts in music history. Backed by a live band, this production is a great hit with audiences of all ages. Single ticket prices: $42, $37, $33, $25 Sponsored by Jameson Health System Special children’S production (not part of season) THE ADVENTURES OF HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON November 5, 2009 10:30 a.m. School Performance • 7:00 p.m. Public Performance Sponsored by Mahoning Valley & Westminster Chapters Resch Foundation The Grable Foundation Resourceful and brave, Harold creates the world he wants to explore, using nothing more than a big purple crayon and his sky’s-the-limit imagination. Enchantment Theatre Company’s production will take you on a wild ride as Harold jets to Mars (shooting stars, space ships!), joins a circus (he walks a tightrope!), and meets a king in an enchanted garden (of course, there’s a dragon). The “Harold” books have captivated families for more than 50 years, celebrating the imagination of children and the unique way they see the world. That’s why Enchantment, one of America’s most innovative producers of original theater works for children, has adapted these wonderful stories for the stage in this national touring production which will amaze you with life-size puppets, masks, magic and music! Tickets: children $8 / adults $13 This production designed for kids ages 3-8 (pre-K through 3rd grade)will delight audiences of all ages—anyone, in fact, whose heart is young and adventurous.
