The Welk Resort Theatre continues its tradition of quality, professional and affordable theatre for 2017 with something for everyone! While we will always present family classics and traditional Broadway musicals, we are proud to also present one contemporary and edgy musical each season. As our audience continues to grow and expand,

we are happy to provide different styles of musical theatre and variety shows to please all palates!

We continue to use live musicians in the pit (rather than tracked music) and professional actors from all over the country and are proud of our theatrical elements such as beautiful sets and costumes.

This year we invite you to join us as season subscriber. By purchasing at least three of our Welk–produced musicals, you will a receive a discount. Purchase all four and receive an added discount. As always, subscriber tickets go on sale before individual shows are made available to the public, so you are always guaranteed the best seating.

We thank you for attending over the past 35 years. We look forward to continuing our commitment to being the finest theatre that Southern California has to offer!

Joshua Carr, Producer | Theatre Manager

A NOTE FROM OUR PRODUCER CARRYING ON THE TRADITION OF BROADWAY MUSICALS

Book and lyrics by ALAN JAY LERNERMusic by FREDERICK LOEWE

This show is the standard by which all other musicals are measured. Based on GEORGE BERNARD SHAW’S play Pygmalion, with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, MY FAIR LADY is gloriously triumphant. The tale of a Cockney flower girl transformed into an elegant lady features one of musical theatre’s greatest scores. SONGS INCLUDE “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?,” “With a Little Bit of Luck,” “The Rain in Spain,” “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “Get Me to the Church on Time,” and “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face.”

JANUARY 6– APRIL 2, 2017

Book, music, and lyrics by MEREDITH WILLSON Story by MEREDITH WILLSON AND FRANKLIN LACEY

By far, one of the most beloved musicals of all time! The MUSIC MAN is family entertainment at its best. Fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys’ band that he vows to organize – this, despite the fact that he doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans are foiled when he falls for Marian, the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall. SONGS INCLUDE “76 Trombones,” “Trouble,” “Til There Was You” and “Shipoopi!”

By FRED EBB, JOHN KANDER, TERRENCE MCNALLY, MANUEL PUIG

For our contemporary show of 2017 we have chosen the brilliant musical team of Kander and Ebb with KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN. It revamps a harrowing tale of persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes gritty realities with liberating fantasies. Cellmates in a Latin American prison, Valentin is a tough revolutionary undergoing torture and Molina is an unabashed gay man serving eight years. Molina shares his fantasies about an actress, Aurora (originated on Broadway by Chita Rivera) with Valentin. One of her roles is a spider woman who kills with a kiss. WINNER! 1993 Tony® Awards for Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score.

Not suitable for ages 17 and under. Rated PG-17

Music by ALAN MENKEN Lyrics by LYNN AHRENSBook by Lynn Ahrens and Mike Ockrent

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’ most well-known story. Broadway heavy hitters Alan Menken and Lynn Ahrens breathe fantastic new life into the classic tale of “A Christmas Carol.” With an infuriated “Bah! Humbug!” Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he’s forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful “Happy Christmas” before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him. A family classic!
