Pandora Productions Presents OH MY GODMOTHER 1/7/2010

A New Year filled with laughter, music, and entertainment galore is Pandora Productions' resolution as they ring in 2010 with the regional premier of Ron Lytle's award-winning musical Oh My Godmother!, a sassy, satirical spin on the classic tale of Cinderella and the show's first-ever performances outside its home city of San Francisco. Opening Thursday evening, January 7, this brash and bawdy musical comedy 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 fabulous fairy tale 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". Performances run through Sunday, January 17.
