K2 By Patrick Meyers Finalizes Dragon Theatre's 2018 2nd Stages Series


This extraordinary story about two climbers stranded during their descent of K2, the world's second tallest but the most lethal mountain, not only brings this legendary peak to the stage but also envelopes it in a metaphor with a much deeper theme: choice. Patrick Meyers lets the audience experience what it's like at 27,000 feet and places them in the boots of Harold and Taylor, along with the difficult choices they must make.

BWW Reviews: SNOOPY a Fun and Energetic Dog Treat


You're a good man, Charlie Brown, but Snoopy is pretty good, too. In fact, he's the head beagle, and he's played with excellence, honor, smarts and lots of puppy charm by Keith Pinto, who so wonderfully portrayed the same character last year in another Peanuts-based musical at the Bay Area's Retro Dome. Of course, it wouldn't be Peanuts without the rest of the gang, present for 42nd Street Moon's production of the clever and always enjoyable musical, "Snoopy."

BWW Reviews: Clever CARMELINA at 42nd Street Moon Tells the Original MAMMA MIA Story


With a surprisingly well-written book and a fun, familiar plot, 42nd Street Moon's production of the rare musical, "Carmelina," stands out against its more recent cousin, the Abba-inspired "Mamma Mia!" While it does not have the peppy energy and catchy music of "Mamma Mia!," "Carmelina" has unique stories and charming characters that make it just as enjoyable, especially when performed by a fabulous cast on the intimate Eureka Theatre stage.

Photo Flash: First Look at 42nd Street Moon's CARMELINA


Bay Area audiences will have the opportunity to experience a lost musical theatre treasure when 42nd Street Moon presents the first ever post-Broadway production of a musical collaboration by the composers of My Fair Lady and Brigadoon, CARMELINA. The show has a beautiful score by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane and a saucy book by Lerner and Joseph Stein, whose Fiddler on the Roof remains one of the world's most popular musicals, but CARMELINA nevertheless vanished from sight. CARMELINA plays October 31 - November 18, 2012 (press openings November 2 and 3) at the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco. Get a first look at the cast in the photos below!
