THE BALLAD OF BUZZARD BASIN Announced At Fountain Hills Theater

Copperstate Productions has announced the opening of The Ballad of Buzzard Basin, a brand-new, old-time cowboy musical that celebrates the essence, and yes, dag-nab-it, the quintessence of the old, old, old west, when men were men and so were the women. But when the town drunk Skragg Mudd refuses to abide by the 'Code of the West' something must be done! Filled with classic western songs and populated by steely-eyed gunslingers, pious padres, rock-jawed lawmen & saloon gals with hearts of gold, this World Premier musical proves how the west was fun!

. The Ballad of Buzzard Basin is produced by Copperstate Productions, written and directed by Peter J. Hill, musically directed by Tom Mangum and choreographed by Noel Irick. The Ballad of Buzzard Basin stars Karissa Anderson-Self, (South Pacific) Bob Feugate, (Crazy For You, Our Town) Peter J. Hill, (Author, Artistic Director) Noel Irick, (Choreographer, Young Frankenstein, Cabaret) Henry Male, (We Will Rock You, Cabaret) Tom Mangum (Music Director, Ring of Fire, Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story), Jay Melberg (Buddy, The Buddy Holly Story, Man of La Mancha) and Daniel Tanner (Footlight Frenzy, Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder).
