“A delightful, fun-filled odyssey! Absolutely remarkable!†says American Press Service. “Spot on!†echoes The Tolucan Times.
In its signature Commedia-circus theatre style, acclaimed Actors’ Repertory Theatre brings to bold, beautiful life the feel-good hit of the summer, a Rudie-DeCarlo world premiere musical comedy, as your favorite dolls of olde burst onto the Santa Monica Playhouse stage, baring their souls, and their startling private lives, for all to see. “A company that knows what its audience expects from an evening of theatre!†(LA TIMES).
Who was your favorite? The handsome Tin Soldier? the ephemeral Music Box Dancer? the ever-smiling Raggedy Girl? the cracked (literally and figuratively) Porcelain Victoriana? the anatomically incorrect Fashion Doll? Enjoy all of them and more in this exciting new musical, written and directed by the internationally renowned creative team of Evelyn Rudie and Chris DeCarlo, with musical direction by Playhouse Associate Director Serena Dolinsky. The cast of nine triple-threat performers stars Jessica Erin Bennett, Dolinsky, Melissa Gentry, Annie Mackay, Nancy Dobbs Owen, Garett Stevens and Troy Titus-Adams, with Evelyn Rudie as Baby Babette and Chris DeCarlo as Gigoletto, the love-struck, no-strings-attached marionette. Gents will enjoy this show just as much as the ladies.
