DREAM THE DREAM
Cameron Mackintosh presents a brand new 25th anniversary production of Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical, LES MISÉRABLES, with glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. The New York Times calls this LES MISÉRABLES “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five star hit, astonishingly powerful” and NY1-TV proclaims “Musical theatre fans can rejoice: ‘Les Miz’ is born again.” Based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, LES MISÉRABLES is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score of LES MISÉRABLES includes the classic songs “I Dreamed a Dream,” “On My Own,” “Do You Hear the People Sing?” and “One Day More.” For more information, please visit www.lesmis.com

Guys and Dolls

 The Atlantic Arts Academy presents the timeless musical comedy “Guys and Dolls” on May 19th at 3:00 pm and 7:00 p.m. Performances are at the Borland Center, located at 4901 PGA Blvd in Palm Beach Gardens. Ticket prices are $20 for adults and $15 for students and children and seating is reserved. Tickets are available by calling the Atlantic Arts Academy box office at (561) 575-4942 or by logging on to www.TheAtlanticTheater.com. Atlantic Arts Academy is a pre-professional performing arts academy that trains students of all ages in Dance, Theater and Music. To learn more about Atlantic Arts Academy please log on to www.AtlanticArtsAcademy.com

Based on the Broadway stories of Damon Runyon, “Guys and Dolls” tells the tale of Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. That “next girl” is Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer. Meanwhile, Nathan is having trouble with his own girlfriend, Adelaide, who after 14 years of dating is ready for marriage. Guys and Dolls is a cornerstone of the musical comedy stage that continues to delight audiences over 50 years after its Broadway premiere. Featuring the songs “Luck be a Lady” and “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat,” this musical is the perfect balance of story, dance, music, and romance.

Written by composer/lyricist Frank Loesser, with a book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, “Guys and Dolls” won a Best Musical Tony for the original 1951 production, and a second Tony for Best Revival for the 1995 production starring Faith Prince and Nathan Lane. The musical also received international attention thanks to the 1955 MGM motion picture adaptation featuring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons and Frank Sinatra.

Rick Seguso In Concert

On Saturday evening, May 19th, at 7:30 pm, the center stage at The Burt Reynolds Institute will resonate with the chiseled sounds of singer/songwriter Rick Seguso. Seguso, the one-time road manager and roommate of Bruce Springsteen, has been writing and singing his special blend of music for more than 40 years.

Equal parts storyteller and vocalist, Rick’s style is laid back. He enjoys taking his audiences back in time, and his traveling troubadour style stirs memories of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. His songs fuse the best of folk, country blues and rock ‘n roll with lyrics that carry thought provoking messages. Rick was and continues to be inspired by artists such as Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen, Mark Knopfler, John Prine and all the early Delta Bluesmen.

A man of many talents, Rick Seguso is also a recognized artist of equestrian and music related oil paintings. His award winning work has been displayed in galleries nationally and abroad. Rick’s painting of Delta Blues great Robert Johnson (1911-1938) was recently accepted for display at The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi. His artwork can be seen at http://www.rickseguso.com.

As if Seguso’s music and artwork weren’t enough, he has been a SAG actor for 17 years and has honed his skills under the direction of mega-star Burt Reynolds.

Tickets to the Rick Seguso concert are available by emailing briftfinancedirector@comcast.net or calling 561 385-1584. Seating is limited. Call now for reservations.
