“ABSOLUTELY GREAT! showmag.com. An absolute family treat!” The Tolucan Times.
It’s the Family Theatre musical for Kids 2 to 102 – the heartwarming Rudie-DeCarlo tale of Candy, a sweet young girl who learns some surprising lessons about life, love, laughter, and sugar, from a delightful array of characters who take her on a magical All Hallow’s Eve adventure as audiences help Cattypuss, Patty Patches, Hester the Jester and Fifika the French Fortune Teller save Halloween for one more year.
As witching hour approaches, kids, and parents, too, discover the value of team spirit, friendship, sharing, making choices and moderation, especially when it comes to treats and sweets. Now an audience favorite in its 18th October run, ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN is one in a series of original Rudie-DeCarlo musical comedies that make up the award-winning Family Theatre Musical Matinee Series for Kids 2 to 102, now celebrating its 56th year!
Helmed by Playhouse Artistic Director Chris DeCarlo, with book, music & lyrics by DeCarlo, Evelyn Rudie & Matthew Wrather, the ingenious costumes are created by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes, with production and multi-media design by The Attic Room. ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN features internationally acclaimed Actors’ Repertory Theatre members Celeste Akiki, Isabel Lindley, J.T. Melaragno, Cydne Moore, Joseph Perez, Charlotte Robinson, Graham Silbert and Megan Wright. Birthday parties, hosted by gaily-costumed members of the ABSOLUTELY HALLOWEEN Company, are available in conjunction with every performance. Saturdays, 2pm, Sundays 12:30, October 5-27 only. It’s Around Town’s “Favorite Pick!” It’ll be yours, too!
