Santa Barbara High School continues their string of contemporary Broadway musicals with Head Over Heels – A New Musical.

November 8-17

Head Over Heels is the bold new musical comedy from the visionaries that rocked Broadway with Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Avenue Q and Spring Awakening. It played its final Broadway performance on January 6, 2019.

This laugh-out-loud love story features the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, including the hit songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” This modern musical fairy tale where once-upon-a-time is right now, follows the escapades of a royal family who set out on a journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction. Through a plot containing usurped kingship, unlikely lovers, and gender-fluid disguises.

Head Over Heels preaches unconditional love and acceptance of yourself and everyone you know, no matter their gender or sexual identity.

New York Magazine calls the musical “a clever, delightful, bubbly, exuberant party!”

Bossa nova was born on July 10, 1958, at the old Odeon recording studios in Rio de Janeiro, when a João Gilberto recording marked the beginning of a musical and cultural phenomenon. In this worldwide celebration, two of its reigning superstars and their bands span the breadth of Brazil’s best-known musical style, transporting us to today’s hottest music clubs and the Rio beaches of yesterday. A multi-Grammy-winning producer, composer, keyboardist and vocalist, Sérgio Mendes is one of Brazil’s most internationally-renowned artists of all time. Bebel Gilberto – daughter of João Gilberto – is a thrilling vocalist steeped in the genre.
“There has been no name more synonymous with the musical art form than bossa nova legend Sérgio Mendes.” Phoenix New Times

“Bebel Gilberto has carved her own distinct niche true to her roots.” The Adelaide Review
