It was the first one we attended since graduating from Frogs Neck High School in New York. Okay it wasn’t Frogs Neck. (That’s a fictitious name to protect the innocent. Everything else is accurate.) We hadn’t really kept in touch with any of our classmates other than each other. This was because most of them stayed on the East Coast and didn’t get into show biz, as we did. We’ve spent our lives playing while they spent theirs actually working. Michael went into television and became a TV director and Marc followed his father’s footsteps into the music business, composing and producing for movies, television and records (for those of you who don’t know what records are, please consult Wikipedia). Our experience at the reunion was, to say the least, eye opening. Parts of it were so eye opening that we had to keep our eyes closed. Michael met a girl, now a woman, who he had a crush on from afar for many years. She didn’t give him the time of day in High School, but now that he had become a big-time Hollywood director, she was very interested. He wasn’t interested. She just wasn’t that interesting. Probably never was. If he had only realized then what he knows now, he might not have been obsessing about her all these years. Marc encountered high schoolers he had known back then and came to realize how different his perception of them was then versus now, how things had changed, grown, and not just the hairs from his nose. So….after about six months of mulling our experience, we looked at each other and said -yes we said it at the same exact time- “We need to write something about that.” And thus, Reunion was born. As we started discussing our experiences in High School with the perspective of age, and as we talked about our idea with our close friends, we realized that the issues we dealt with then and the issues we are dealing with now resonate with everyone. Expectations, dreams, hopes, failures… we all share these things. So sit back, relax and enjoy. Relive your high school memories if you dare. Laugh, cry, cringe. Welcome to Reunion. A NOTE FROM DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER KAY COLE I have the greatest respect and thanks for the writers, composers, producing team, designers, casting team, stage management team, and the wonderful company of actors. All of them....A DREAM TEAM. The rehearsals were collaborative, challenging but most of all FUN, FUN, FUN. We discovered the humor within each scene and song and that guided us to the humanity of each character. People we all know and love. Enjoy the show and perhaps you will be inspired to attend your next reunion or our Reunion again. CAST BIOS ALI AXELRAD* (Young Amelia) Ali is elated to be a part of Reunion!

The audience will hear selections made famous by Fanny Brice, Carol Burnett, Betty Buckley, Carol Channing, Judy Holliday, Angela Lansbury, Patti LuPone, Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Barbra Streisand, Elaine Stritch, and Nancy Walker. On making her cabaret debut: “The idea of putting together an original cabaret act where you’re standing on stage for ninety minutes straight has always sounded daunting to me,” Malone said. “I’ve had the idea for this particular cabaret format for a few years. I felt the time was right to challenge myself, and I couldn’t be more proud to debut this cabaret on the very stage that offered me my first musical theatre experience as a nine-year-old in the Moonlight’s very first musical Oliver! directed by Kathy Brombacher.” Malone can relate to the fact that the leading ladies she has chosen to celebrate are all attached to iconic comedic roles. “I learned at a very young age that getting laughs is golden,” she said.

  • OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We Can’T Imagine a More Perfect Show to Give Our 2016–2017 Season a Great Launch (If You’Ll Pardon the Pun)
    OCTOBER 2016 Welcome to October Sky! We can’t imagine a more perfect show to give our 2016–2017 Season a great launch (if you’ll pardon the pun). New musicals are, of course, one of The Old Globe’s specialties, and the upcoming season is filled with exactly the kind of work the Globe does best. In this very theatre, you’ll have a chance to see a revival of Steve Martin’s hilarious Picasso at the Lapin Agile; the exciting backstage drama Red Velvet; and the imaginative, fable- like musical The Old Man and The Old Moon. And of course, we’re bringing back The Grinch for its 19th year! Across the plaza in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, we hope you’ll join us for work by some of the most exciting voices in the American theatre today: award-winning actor/ songwriter Benjamin Scheuer (The Lion), Globe newcomer Nick Gandiello (The Blameless), the powerful and trenchant Dominique Morisseau (Skeleton Crew), and the ingenious Fiasco Theater, with their own particular spin on Molière’s classic The Imaginary Invalid. It’s a season we’re extremely proud and excited to share with all of you. DOUGLAS GATES Managing Director Michael G. Murphy and Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein. We’re also proud to welcome the outstanding creative team that has made October Sky a reality. Director/choreographer Rachel Rockwell is an artist whose work we’ve long admired, whose skill in staging is matched by her deft touch with actors. She’s truly a perfect fit for this heartwarming and triumphant show.
