CCT
Announces 2010 Season
San Diego County – CCT Musical Theater announces its 31th
season of the best in fully-staged Broadway-style musical theater for
the whole family. CCT’s season opener, our 4rd annual Senior
Follies, will be performed at the Balboa Theatre in downtown San Diego
June 24-27. Come with us as we take a musical journey to your High School
Reunion. You won't want to miss any of the eras from the Raccoon Coats, flapper
girls and singing the Varsity Drag to the Big Band era with such
memorable swing music by Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. All the
high school kids were listening to the radio and the Billboard hits of the 40s
and 50s with legendary music of the Mills Brothers, Perry Como and Nat King
Cole. The early 60s high school kids were running home after school to watch
American Bandstand with music classics as The Lettermen, The 4 Seasons and, of
course, The Beatles. Come join the fun in San Diego's biggest tribute to seniors
at CCT's Senior Follies.
The second show of the season, Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, will be performed back
at the Mt. Helix Amphitheater July 23-August 8. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph
and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a rollicking, all music
rock-operetta with a creative approach to one of the most familiar stories from
the Old Testament. The story of Joseph and his eleven brothers covers sibling
rivalry, parental favoritism, slavery, harassment, imprisonment, career
advancement and forgiveness. Joseph seems to be in the right place at the right
time for everything (good and bad) to happen to him. Just a coincidence? What do
you think? A true ensemble show!
CCT’s 2010 season will close
with the 18th annual Traditions
of Christmas - A Musical Spectacular December 17-23, also at the Balboa
Theatre downtown. Since it’s beginning, in 1993, over 250,000 people have
enjoyed this colorful, holiday family entertainment event. Using a wide variety
of music, dance, drama and color to bring “all your favorite Christmas
traditions to life”, a cast of over 140 volunteer performers from San Diego
communities present a variety of production numbers ranging from Rockette-style
precision kick-line dancers to child-sized Christmas elves singing and dancing
in Santa’s workshop. The show concludes with an inspiring live Nativity
pageant, complete with live donkey, sheep and majestic camel.
