Buy a subscription and receive first opportunity to attend other shows
By Mark Schadenberg
With August arriving, it's time
to start thinking about another season.
Autumn?
Sure, as the season commonly called
fall marks the beginning of the six-production next season for the
Grand Theatre in London.
You thought I might be thinking hockey
and the London Knights. I certainly enjoy my involvement with Knights
broadcasts on Rogers TV, but other forms of entertainment exist.
There is more to life than sports – more than hockey, Mustangs
football, the CFL, golf's President's Cup, and baseball pennant
races.
Just like buying season's tickets to
your favourite sports team includes ticket-price savings, better
seats and other benefits, purchasing a subscription to the 2015-16
season at the Grand Theatre provides for perks such as access to
seats for special events, discounts on buying extra tickets, and 25%
off prices to see the high school project production of Hello Dolly.
All the schedules are noted below for
The Grand Theatre which is part of Richmond Row in the Forest City
(471 Richmond).
While the life and times of Buddy Holly
and his demise in a plane crash is one of the true history pieces of
stage musicals, I might prefer the comedy Fly Me To The Moon over all
six selections.
Fly Me To The Moon is penned by Marie
Jones and can somewhat be described as a story about someone winning
a lottery, but passing away before they can redeem their fortune.
What happens to the windfall? The just-found-riches character is the
dead Davy Magee, but many have claims on the cash including two
ladies named Loretta and Francis who can be labelled as caregivers of
the deceased Davy.
The hands of Bryce Kulak and Richard
Todd Adams are set to play the piano in 2 Pianos 4 Hands. Lots of
details about the show's stars can be studied on Facebook at: 2
Pianos 4 Hands. Adams is accomplished as a musician, singer and
actor, including playing Valjean in Les Miserables, Raoul in Phantom
Of The Opera, plus appearing in man Of La Mancha and Ragtime in
touring productions.

BACK TO SCHOOL
The high school musical for the autumn
of 2015 is Hello Dolly, which made its debut in the mid-1960's.
The storyline might seem somewhat dated
in our times – half a century later – with computer dating sites,
but Dolly is a matchmaker.
Based on a Thornton Wilder writing,
Hello Dolly was put to music by Jerry Herman and became known
everywhere when Louis Armstrong had a No. 1 recording on the
Billboard charts with the title song (See YouTube link below).
Carol Channing's best known work is
starring as Dolly.
Hello Dolly was also a 1969 movie
starring Barbra Streisand (1 year after Funny Girl), Walter Matthau
as Horace, Michael Crawford as Cornelius, and also included Louis
Armstrong in the cast.
Songs & Stories with astronaut Chris Hadfield is set for Oct. 7, while the John Steinbeck play Of Mice & Men is scheduled for Nov. 24 - Dec,. 5.
BUDWEISER GARDENS
London features two other significant
venues for stage productions – Budweiser Gardens and Centennial
Hall.
Menopause The Musical is currently
playing at the rink at the corner of Dundas and Talbot. Later,
October will bring Peter Pan On Ice and Alvin & The Chipmunks to
The Bud.
