| Hubie Cram is a guy with lots of big dreams and failed schemes who’s always looking for the "angle" – the big break that will finally net him a fortune and some respect (as well as a decent seat at the Casacabana nightclub). And his latest idea just might work: there's a fortune to be made in the burgeoning jukebox industry. Though it does mean getting mixed up with his former hoodlum pals, plus a lot of eccentric characters in the music business
All this unfolds in the hilarious 1960 musical DO RE MI, presented by APPLAUSE! Musicals in Concert June 5-9!
Written as a showcase for legendary comedian Phil Silvers, this production is its western Canada premiere. And starring as Hubie Cram is none other than tech-whiz and nationally syndicated TV host, Steve Dotto!
With music by Jule Styne, with lyrics by Comden and Green, and book by Garson Kanin, DO RE MI is a wacky romp, full of big laughs, great characters, and catchy, jazzy tunes, including the beautiful ballad (which quickly became a standard), "Make Someone Happy".
Presented in concert format, APPLAUSE! rehearses for a single week, and everyone remains "on book" with an emphasis on the music, and only essential props and costumes. It's an exciting way to present rarely-seen or obscure musicals in their entirety, many (like this one) never before performed in the Lower Mainland.
So join us for a fun, laugh-filled evening to see DO RE MI!
