Pandora Productions is ringing in 2010 with a certifiable hit on their hands and it's not even opening night yet! The buzz is over the top for the regional premier of Ron Lytle's award-winning musical Oh My Godmother!, opening a nine-day run tomorrow night, January 7, with several shows already sold out. Adding to the excitement, this sassy and satirical spin on the classic tale of Cinderella is being performed for the first time ever outside its home city of San Francisco, exclusively with Pandora in Louisville.
Oh My Godmother! is all about Albert, a love-struck gay teenager living in San Francisco with a haughty, homophobic Stepmother, two odious stepsisters, and a drag-loving Godmother. Others in this crazy quilt of characters include the leading queens of Castro Street who worry that their adopted son Prince, through a twist of fate, is questioning his own sexuality! The musical score is in the toe-tapping tradition of
Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hammerstein and
Cole Porter, and provides a showcase of showstoppers including "Cinder-Albert", "Somebody for Everybody", "Fabulous!", "Old Fashioned Commitment Ceremony", and "It's A Boy".
Oh My Godmother! is presented by Pandora Productions at the
Henry Clay Building, 604 South Third Street, 3rd Floor, Downtown Louisville. Evening performances are January 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 at 7:30 p.m.; there is one matinee performance on Saturday, January 16 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $15; $17 day of show. All tickets may be purchased by visiting
www.PandoraProds.org or calling (502) 216-5502.
