Town & Country Players To Present Special Cabaret Performance

BUCKINGHAM, PA — Town and Country Players brings a twist to its season with a special production - a cabaret featuring the poor, unfortunate souls of musical theater.

Directed by Jessica Briggs, with musical director Sue Den Outer, the show will feature songs pulled from those seemingly hapless characters.

"Probably Doomed: Happy Never After Cabaret" is perfect for anyone who loves a good villain, the sidekick, the unlucky, and the character who is simply not going to make it out alive. Featuring songs from "Sweeney Todd" to "Six," to "Chicago," performers will tackle themes that are both humorous and tragic.

“Calling the show 'Probably Doomed' was a nod to all of the characters in musicals that never reach their happily-ever-after, but we love their stories just the same,” says Briggs. She adds that the cabaret will include surprises in that there are a few songs that are "miscast" or “Broadway backwards.”

"Probably Doomed" is emceed by Steve DiNardo and Edward Liu. The cabaret features the talents of local performers Mark Applegate, Amelia Ball, Sydney Broitman, Jessa Casner, Maurice Charles, Tom Chiola, DJ Holcombe, Jen Kopcha, Jenna Moschella, Kirstie Sabella, and Melissa Schiumo.

"Probably Doomed: A Happy Never After Cabaret" runs the weekend of June 9 to 11 with evening and matinee performances. Curtain time is 8 p.m. for Friday and Saturday evening shows and 2 p.m. for Saturday and Sunday matinees. Town and Country Players is located on Route 263 in Buckingham.
