| Sunday, June 20, 2010 |  |  | Priscilla’s Perfect Day Reviews!
Well, well, well. It’s time to congratulate the cast, crew and creative team on the rave reviews Priscilla’s Perfect Day has been getting. We already feel proud just to have such a great, brand new piece of musical theater that the entire family can enjoy, that getting good reviews is very much the icing on the cake. Or the syrup on your pancakes, if you will. ;)
If you haven’t checked out what this wonderful family musical is about, check out this interview with the show’s director, Jeremy Aldridge, on Broadway World LA!
We also have an interview with husband and wife writing team Diana Martin (book) and Richard Levinson (music) that’s also from Broadway World LA!
Here are some of what the reviewers are saying. If you’d like to read the entire review, click on the link.
• It’s a creative romp with plenty of imaginative flights of fancy.
• It’s a giddy little adventure that will encourage children to be nicer to their siblings and not be so afraid of things that sound scary (but really aren’t).
• The acting, however, is engaging and it never hurts to be surrounded by the laughter of children.
Jackie Houchin, American Chronicle
Did we mention that there’s a pancake brunch backstage after the show for the little ones?! What more can you ask for after a fun family musical?
Priscilla’s Perfect Day plays on Saturday mornings at 11AM through July 11th! Tickets are available here on the site or by phone at Call 818-700-4878.

| | Monday, June 07, 2010 | | | Here at The Group Rep we’ve got another show opening!!! On June 12, Catawba Club Productions in association with The Group Rep presents the Los Angeles Premiere of PRISCILLA’S PERFECT DAY – A Family Musical!!! This special production plays on Saturday mornings at 11AM from June 12-July 17. AND – after each performance, there is a Pancake Party and other activities!!!
Rain might ruin eleven-year-old budding artist Priscilla Penelope Periwinkle’s idyllic notion of a relaxing vacation in Maine, and her “bratty” little brother Billy and his pesky, pancake-lovin’ dog Roscoe are making their first day at the quaint old cottage anything but perfect; when she finds some very strange crayons that send them all to a magical sunny beach, things start looking up … at least until they meet one very big, and very hungry, lobster. But thanks to Billy’s quick thinking, it could still end up being Priscilla’s Perfect Day!
What a wholesome show to take the entire family to!
The cast includes: Natascha Aldridge, Courtney DeCosky ,Stephen Simon, Matt Valle, Brian Wallis, Victor Isaac, Diana Martin, Kaylena Mann, Lily Donnelly, and Ben Freiberger.
PRISCILLA’S PERFECT DAY has a book by Diana Martin with songs by Richard Levinson, featuring direction by Jeremy Aldridge and choreography by Michele Bernath. It is produced by Catawba Club Productions and Lisa McGee Mann.
Tickets are $12 and BUT there is a terrific deal: tickets are $10 if you’re a group of five or more!!! All tickets can be reserved here on our website or by phone at: (818) 700-4878. The Lonny Chapman Theatre is located at 10900 Burbank Boulevard, 91601 NoHo Arts District/N. Hollywood.
