Bailey Burcham. The show opens June 3rd 2023 and runs through June 23rd, 2023 at The Three Clubs (1123 Vine Street) in Hollywood.
About the Show
Sydnee has been a teacher at the School for Love for 10 years. She's going through a nasty divorce and finds it tough to teach about love while her own love life is up in the air. Parissa has spent her entire time at School for Love cultivating brains, beauty and popularity. She's bored by the boys at School for Love and is only focused on being a school celebrity. Lucas is a good guy with a good heart who finds himself enamored with one of his classmates. Her rejections don't phase him as he continues to strongly believe they belong together. Pam attends School for Love reluctantly. While most definitely an outcast, she's skilled at seeing special things in special people. Hank is a music teacher at the school and has had his eye on Sydnee for some time. Out of respect to her marriage, he's kept his distance and tries to be a friend. Will these students and teachers find their soulmates at the School For Love? Songs from Dear Evan Hansen, The Wild Party, Lizzo, Britney Spears and many more round out this hilarious and touching cabaret.
"One of the great joys in life is creating iTunes or Spotify playlists.' says Eberhardt. "I always think to myself, when putting a list together, how a collection of songs separate from their source musical or album can still tell an interesting and different story."
