The Repertory East Playhouse is proud to continue Season TEN with the juke box musical comedy Return to The Forbidden Planet, sponsored by Outpost Media.
Blast off on a routine flight and crash into the planet D’Illyria where a sci-fi version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest unfolds with rock and roll golden oldies like Great Balls of Fire, Good Vibrations, Teenager In Love and many more!
The planet is inhabited by a sinister scientist, Dr. Prospero; his delightful daughter Miranda; Ariel, a faithful robot on roller skates; and an uncontrollable monster! A masterpiece…. Take one plot (Shakespeare’s The Tempest), one B movie (Forbidden Planet) and for added flavor plunder the entire Shakespearean cannon for dialogue (the more pungent the plagiarism, the more piquant the final effect)…. Your favorite blasts from the past … ring out of the story with such unadulterated audacity that the cue lines themselves beg for mercy.
Return to The Forbidden Planet will run July 11 through August 16. Show times are Friday and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. This show will sell out! Advanced reservations are highly recommended. Tickets are $25 for Adults and $20 for students and seniors. Group rates are available.
For tickets, purchase online at www.repeastplayhouse.org or call 661-288-0000. The Repertory East Playhouse is located at 24266 Main Street in Newhall.
