Cast of She Loves Me brings familiar and new faces

By |2019-09-16T18:51:52-07:00September 9th, 2019|2019-2020 Season, Announcements, Meet The Cast|

SBMT is thrilled to announce the cast for our winter production of She Loves Me. Ben Hatch, who played Huckleberry Finn last season in Big River, returns as leading man Georg, a perfume shop employee who feuds with new saleswoman Amalia, played by Marie Putko. As fate would have it, the bickering colleagues respond to one another's "lonely hearts" ads in the newspaper and develop feelings for their anonymous-yet-amorous personas. If the plot sounds familiar, you may be thinking of the 1998 movie, You've Got Mail, with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan—or the classic film The Shop Around The Corner. Take [...]

The cast of Big River brings a classic back to life

By |2019-01-02T06:46:18-08:00January 2nd, 2019|2018-19 Season, Behind The Scenes, Meet The Cast, Photos|

Big River is a 1985 musical based on Mark Twain’s beloved 1884 novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. This is the first time SBMT has staged the show, and the cast and staff have turned it into a passion project that is shaping up to be another in a long list of outstanding productions. The show took Broadway by storm in 1985, winning Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score. In a period dominated by British imports, this was a uniquely American story, and it ran for more than 1,000 performances, featuring catchy bluegrass and country music by [...]

Toasting the terrific cast of Mame

By |2018-08-22T22:27:08-07:00August 22nd, 2018|2018-19 Season, Meet The Cast, Photos|

The musical Mame traces its origins back to 1955 when Patrick Dennis published the novel Auntie Mame. The book became a Broadway play the next year, a movie two years after that, and by 1966 it was given a wonderful score by Broadway legend Jerry Herman (Hello Dolly, Mack and Mabel, and later, La Cage Aux Folles) and was back on Broadway again. The musical won Tony Awards for Angela Lansbury and Bea Arthur—setting them both on the path to long, illustrious careers—and then went on to run for more than 1,500 performances over four years on the Great White Way.

With just three sold-out performances left before South Bay Musical Theatre's production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame closes, it is abundantly clear that this show is a winner. Audiences raved about the show itself, the music, the orchestra, the choir, the cast, the costumes, the choreography, the set, and more! In fact, in emails received by SBMT (feedback@southbaymt.com), even the props got "props!" Thanks to all who attended—many of you multiple times—and for the enthusiastic response. Every performance has ended with the audience leaping to its feet for a standing ovation. STANDING OVATION AT THE SARATOGA CIVIC THEATER With kudos [...]
