The six time award-winning BARBERSHOPERA! are back with a brand new show for 2013, touring the UK with their fourth a cappella comedy musical "THE THREE MUSKETEERS" from August 2013.
Reinventing
Alexandre Dumas' much-loved novel, THE THREE MUSKETEERS is a fast-paced ride through the classic swashbuckling adventure, retold through the medium of four-part a cappella harmony! The headstrong and feisty Nicole d'Artagnan heads to Paris to illicit the help of the King's Musketeers to lift the jam-roly-poly embargo on her sleepy village. The three 'heroes' she encounters are not what she was expecting and together they must be whipped into shape to defeat the villainous Cardinal Rich Tea in time for the King's Birthday Ball.
Equipped with their unique and hilarious storytelling style, Barbershopera! take on the epic story of the three famed swordsmen with a cast of four ludicrously talented singers. Highly lauded for their innovative lyrics, wildly delightful storytelling and phenomenal close harmony singing, audiences are left cheering, holding their sides with laughter and calling out for more. All for fun and fun for all! Prepare to battle corruption, femme fatales and some seriously murky undertakings in this rambunctious romp for all the family.
Barbershopera! is a comedy barbershop quartet who since 2007 have been charming audiences across the UK and internationally with their award-winning work, with their first show "Barbershopera!" also being adapted into a radio play for BBC Radio 4.
