Pantochino Productions Inc has announced its next show, "The Brothers Grimm and a Showgirl" which will play The Off-Broadway Theatre at Yale in New Haven for a limited engagement March 16 - 18.
"The Brothers Grimm and a Showgirl" features book and lyrics by Bert Bernardi and music by Justin Rugg.
The new show is described as "a super fun, wildly imaginative family musical featuring spoofs and goofs of favorite fairy tales such as Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty and much, much more. In the play, The Brothers Grimm themselves arrive to perform their best-loved stories and are joined by a sequined and feathered Showgirl who helps tell the tales in her own special way."
"It's a great musical for all ages" said Bernardi. "Young audiences are going to love this one, and I think the grown-ups will enjoy it just as much" he added.
Pantochino's Jimmy Johansmeyer will appear in the show along with Bernardi and Rugg. They will be joined by Shelley Marsh Poggio as the showgirl.
Pantochino is also preparing its first 'grown-up' production, "Predictable Heart: The Music of Justin Rugg," an evening of story songs to be performed in New Haven and New York City.
Performances of "The Brothers Grimm and a Showgirl" are Friday March 16th at 7:30pm, Saturday March 17th at 2pm and 5:30pm and Sunday March 18th at Noon and 2:30pm.
Special matinees for school groups are available on March 15th and 16th. For tickets and more information about the show and the company, visit www.pantochino.com
