Head Over Heels, The Go-Go's Musical

CDC Theatre in Cranford 105th season will open with the musical HEAD OVER HEELS which is set to run from October 13th through 28th.

HEAD OVER HEELS is the bold new musical comedy from the visionaries that rocked Broadway with Avenue Q and Spring Awakening. This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.”

HEAD OVER HEELS is an hilarious, exuberant celebration of love; the story of what happens when the royal court of Arcadia is threatened by the mystical Oracle of Delphi with the loss of its “Beat,” the divine power that ensures the kingdom’s prosperity. King Basilius, whose own title is at stake, forces the members of the royal family and court on a journey to the woods in an attempt to escape the Oracle’s seemingly unavoidable prophecies. Through a plot containing usurped kingship, unlikely lovers, and gender-fluid disguises, Head Over Heels preaches unconditional love and acceptance of yourself and everyone you know, and uses some of the greatest pop rock hits of the late 20th century.

The season will continue with a musical The Wizard of Oz in December, the farce The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 in March and The Producers in May.
