HELD OVER!

By John Driscoll

 

8:15 PM

Fridays & Saturdays  January 8th Through February 13th

Also Sunday, January 24th at 2:00 PM

Baja Princessfollows the antics of an amateur acting troupe from Galt, CA, miraculously hired at the last minute to replace Gloria Estefan, who has cancelled her appearance aboard a "discount loveboat" during a four-day cruise off the coast of Baja California. The "Azure Seas Lounge" of Siesta Line's flagship, the Baja Princess, is losing money, and the only way the performers can keep their jobs is to lure people away from the shipboard disco and karaoke bars. Each night the group tries a new strategy to spark audience enthusiasm with an assortment of familiar songs from the past and present.

Baja Princess features the talents of OBS veterans Nancy Keith, Sue LeGate, Andrew Kerr and Darin Driscoll. Vocal harmony coaching by Katie Baker and choreography by George Jayne add to the outlandish costumes designed and created by Jan Kopp. Baja Princess is suitable for all ages of people who love good music and "underdog comedy."

The ensemble from Galt is led by the "driven" Kate Honey, as played by Sue LeGate, who wants to make this engagement "their big break into the big time," and who does a mean imitation of Janis Joplin. She is a perfect foil for the antics of Nancy Keith's Roxanne, a hypochondriac who carries a drugstore in her purse, and who makes a total disaster of one musical number while amped on allergy medicine. The male side of the group consists of Danny Davis (as portrayed by Andrew Kerr) a claustrophobic sleep-deprived Shakespearean actor out of his element as the group's stand-up comic who laments "They hate me." Kerr is the quintessential square trying to be hip as he beckons to the audience "welcome to may-HEE-ko" and croons "What's new, Pussycat," a la Tom Jones. Balancing Danny's ineptitude is Darin Driscoll's energetic Mikey, who breathes fire into every musical number. It is Mikey's creativity with items from the lost and found that morphs the show from a Latin Revue to a musical trip down memory lane, to celebrity impersonations and ultimately to a "break-out" finale.
