Bucks County Playhouse Launches Visiting Artists Series

NEW HOPE, PA —Political comedy by the iconic satire group, “The Capitol Fools,” and three powerhouse female singers from the Las Vegas-based “Divas3” take to the stage this month for Bucks County Playhouse’s Visiting Artists Series. Tickets are on sale now at www.buckscountyplayhouse.org or contact the box office at 215-862-2121.

The Playhouse brings a variety of entertainment to its historic stage through the Visiting Artist Series. Renowned and unique performers from across the country — and around the globe — join local favorites for a lineup that runs through the end of the year. The Visiting Artists Series complements the Playhouse’s Mainstage series which is produced each year from May through December.

“Capitol Fools” comes to New Hope on January 20 at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. and January 21 at 1:30 p.m. The stairway to heavenly political satire originally laid by the “Capitol Steps” continues upward with the “Capitol Fools” — the new musical parody group created by the performers and co-writer from the “Capitol Steps.”

The “Capitol Fools” hold up a mirror to today's crazy political culture, providing hilarious song parodies and foolish reflections that continue to inspire belly laughter. Audiences will continue to see cast members from past seasons of the “Capitol Steps” performing all the beloved bits, the show-ending and mind-boggling backward-talking spoonerisms, breakneck costume changes, over-the-top impressions, and all new song parodies reflecting the day’s news.

“Divas3” is a celebration of the biggest hits by the greatest Divas in pop music history. Performances are January 27 at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. and January 28 at 1:30 p.m.

Spanning four decades of chart-topping hits from the 1960s through the 1990s, “Divas3” covers hits by Aretha Franklin, Carole King, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Cher, Dolly Parton, Donna Summer and many more! Individual members of the group are known best for their starring roles in shows on the Las Vegas Strip, on Broadway and national tours, and the famed TV show “American Idol.”

Together as a group, “Divas3” has headlined hotels and casinos throughout their hometown of Las Vegas, performing arts centers across the United States, and luxury cruise ships worldwide.

Three powerhouse female singers from the Las Vegas based “Divas3” will take the stage this month at the Playhouse.
