| The 2008/2009 Season: |
Drama Desk Award Winner! |
Souvenir
A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins
Written by Stephen Temperley
|
|
This Drama Desk Award-winner opens the season at La Mirada! Real-life eccentric heiress Florence Foster Jenkins fancied herself a coloratura soprano -- but the exact opposite was true! Despite being called “majestically awful,” her concerts in the 1930s and ‘40s, including a legendary appearance at Carnegie Hall, were not only sold-out but were attended by the crème de la crème of Manhattan society. Told affectionately through the eyes of her longtime accompanist Cosme McMoon, Souvenir is the sweet and inspiring, and yes, hilarious, portrait of a passionate music lover who believed that “what matters most is the music you hear in your head.”

A New Musical
Music & Lyrics by Paul Williams
Book by Garry Marshall
|
|
Happy Days are here again… again! Happy Days: A New Musical, with a book by Garry Marshall and music and lyrics by Paul Williams, based on the hit Paramount Pictures´ television series, will make its first stop on its North American Tour, in a totally revised version never seen before in Southern California! So grab your poodle skirt, saddle shoes and the kids, and come on down to the La Mirada Theatre! It’s May, 1959 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Fonzie is still the king of cool at his favorite malt shop, “Arnold’s.” The school year is coming to an end and Richie, Lori Beth, Potsie and Ralph Malph are getting ready to graduate from Jefferson High School. The gang’s all here, from sexy Pinky Tuscadero to the bumbling “not nice” Malachi Brothers, singing and dancing in a musical celebration of nostalgia at its best, brightest and funniest!

Lost In Yonkers
Written by Neil Simon
|
Feb 6 - 22, 2009
|
| Like many of Simon’s plays, Lost In Yonkers is drawn from his experiences growing up in New York City. Many critics consider this play to be Simon’s best work and the pinnacle of his career. Set During World War II, Arty and Jay are sent to live with their frightfully intimidating Grandma and sweet but mentally slow Aunt Bella. This masterwork is an unsentimental examination of lives in an oppressive household, climaxing with a dramatic confrontation between the bitter mother and lonely daughter. This is Neil Simon at his very best! |

The first new Tuna show in over a decade!
West Coast Premiere!
|
Tuna Does Vegas
Written by Joe Sears & Jaston Williams
|
Apr 17 - May 3, 2009
|
| Joe Sears and Jaston Williams return to La Mirada in their first new show in a decade! Polyester-clad Bertha Bumiller and gun-crazy Arles Struvie decide to head to Las Vegas to renew their wedding vows. But Arles announces the trip on his conservative radio talk show, and so nearly everyone in Tuna decides to head to Sin City as well. Petey Fisk from the Greater Tuna Humane Society goes on a mission to find out if the white jungle cats in Vegas are really albinos or just the victims of bad dye jobs, Inita and Helen from the Tastee Kreme take a spin as showgirls, Joe Bob goes on the Rush Limbaugh diet and Vera and Pearl battle over the slot machines. Find out what happens when an Elvis impersonator from the sequined white stretch-pants era gets double-booked with another Elvis impersonator from the “Blue Hawaii” period. Don’t miss the fun of Tuna Does Vegas! |

Vicki Lawrence and Mama
A Two-Woman Show
|
May 9, 2009
|
| Emmy Award-winning comedienne Vicki Lawrence is one of television's most beloved personalities. Lawrence was plucked out of total obscurity as a high school senior to become part of the now-legendary cast of The Carol Burnett Show. At the ripe old age of 24 she created Thelma Harper, her most endearing character -- better known to fans as "Mama," the star of the sitcom Mama's Family. This performance with new cutting-edge, modern material features both Lawrence and "Mama" in a mixture of stand-up comedy, music, and observations about real life. Where the opinionated Mama is concerned, expect the unexpected!
