What happens when the Berenstain Bears play Las Vegas? Two things: the sports books put them up as a seven point favorite against the Detroit Lions, and I have the assignment to write about it. Robin Leach gets the Pussycat Dolls and I get the Berenstain Bears. Somebody call my agent.Acutally, as someone who proudly still watches Scooby-Doo and Underdog cartoons, I guess I'm the right person after all to cover this adaptation of a popular series of children's books that debuted back in 1962. "Berenstain Bears On Stage!" combines five of the most popular stories (The Messy Room, The Double Dare, New Baby, Get Stage Fright and The Truth) into a new stage musical.
The Omaha Theater Company, one of the nation's leading professional children's theaters, collaborated with Stan Berenstain on the design of the sets for "page to stage" authenticity of this production. Elliot Lawrence, the Musical Director of the Tony Awards, and his son, four-time Emmy Award-winner, Jamie Broza, composed the music for the show, with lyrics by Stan Berenstain.
Tickets for the performance, scheduled for April 28 at 7PM at the Henderson Pavilion, can be purchased online at www.visithenderson.com or at the theater box office. For more information, contact the Henderson Pavilion at 702-267-4849.
