Why you should see Head Over Heels

Because Entertainment Weekly calls it “a giddy neon anthem of acceptance.”
Because the first version debuted at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, so you know this musical is fun and vibrant and has bona fide theater roots.
Because you got the beat.

Synopsis

This laugh-out-loud love story is set to the infectious music of the iconic ’80s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, featuring hit songs including “Vacation” and “Our Lips Are Sealed.” Led by the free-spirited Princess Pamela, the royal family journeys to save their beloved kingdom of Arcadia from extinction. Throughout a wild adventure filled with mistaken identities, forbidden romances and unexpected twists, the family learns that the key to their realm’s survival lies within their own hearts. Adorned with vibrant vibes and eccentric energy, Head Over Heels is a rollercoaster ride of fun that reminds us to embrace love in all its forms. You know what they say…we got the beat!
