'Band Geeks! 'Will Drum Up Audiences at Norma Terris

Goodspeed Musicals will present Band Geeks!, a new musical, this spring at The Norma Terris Theatre in Chester. A smash hit from Goodspeed’s 2009 Festival of New Artists, this feel-good musical comedy will run from May 13 through June 6, 2010.

It's a high-stepping tribute to high school marching bands and misfits everywhere! With just nine members and dwindling funds, the Cuyahoga High Marching Beavers are close to extinction. When a troubled athlete is relegated to their ranks, Elliott, the tuba-playing band captain, and Laura, his best friend, must find a way to unite the band, embrace their inner geek and save the Marching Beavers.

Band Geeks! features Music by Mark Allen, Gaby Alter, and Tommy Newman with lyrics by Gaby Alter and Tommy Newman, and Book by Tommy Newman and Gordon Greenberg, who directs. Concept by Tommy Newman.

Tickets will go on sale in early 2010. For more information call the Box Office at 860.873.8668 or visit www.goodspeed.org.
