Four Lads Who Shook The World – The Beatles Story: Part 1

In July 1957, a young man played a gig in a church garden party and another young lad showed up to watch… and thus began the most prolific and successful musical phenomenon in history: The Beatles. The world had never seen anything like them, and, in all likelihood, never will again. Part 1 tells the story of their early beginnings in 1957 through to their last performance in America in 1966: from the cavern club in Liverpool to the seedy clubs in the red light district of Hamburg, and then on to America. Everywhere they went, pandemonium—perhaps better described by the new word of the day: Beatlemania! The Beatles re-invented the music industry both as an art form and a business. This musical revue visits the triumphs and challenges that they encountered upon their meteoric rise to fame and fortune, set to the infectious music of four lads who shook the world!

The Wedding Singer

It’s 1985 and rock star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party—until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar! Shot through the heart, Robbie loses faith in marriage and becomes a bride and groom’s worst nightmare. Enter Julia, a charming waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of the decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a brand-new score that plays homage to pop songs of the 1980s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer just might have been the coolest guy in the room.

Boeing, Boeing

Boeing, Boeing, the high-flying, Tony award-winning revival comedy that had London and Broadway audiences airborne with laughter, is taking off at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre! Bernard, a successful American architect living in a posh Paris apartment, has been deftly juggling three fiancées who are all flight attendants. It’s easy with good timing and a bit of assistance from his housekeeper, who reluctantly plays romantic air-traffic controller. But this supersonic lifestyle hits turbulence when his old college friend visits and each of his three fiancées changes their flight schedule. Boeing-Boeing is called “the funniest play to hit Broadway in ages” (Wall Street Journal), and “pure pleasure and unconditional bliss” (New York Times). Fasten your seat belt for a non-stop ride that will take you up, up, and away!

Sylvia

Mayfield Dinner Theatre presents their latest production about the classic love triangle: husband, wife, and… dog? Greg and Kate are a typical Manhattan couple. They’ve finally sent the last of their kids off to college and have moved back into the city to enjoy their years alone together before retirement. Kate is enjoying their new-found freedom and has headed back into the workforce, but Greg is unhappy at work and struggling to cope with his mid-life crisis. Then a solution jumps into his lap in the form of a loving and hyperactive Labrador-Poodle mix named Sylvia. Greg forms an unusual bond to the mutt, who offers him an escape from his frustrations. But to Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for her husband’s affection, ultimately putting Greg in the doghouse. Sylvia is a witty, intelligently comedic and tender tale about life and love in the middle years.
