Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to the official blog of the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts! As you may have read from our profile on the right side of the page, we are the exciting newest edition to the ever-evolving downtown district of scenic Rehoboth Beach, Delaware bringing dynamic live entertainment to the shore.

My name is Michael Sprouse. I'm the Associate Director of RBTA and I'll be updating and moderating this blog frequently so as to keep you current with all that we have to offer at the Rehoboth Beach Theatre of the Arts. And do we have a lot! Once look at our 2008 Theatrical Production Schedule from our web site (http://rehobothbeachtheatre.com/events.htm) will confirm that.

Currently, we are in the middle of a two month run of the famed Weber-Prianti production of "Broadway Fever" which taps into the exciting repertoire of Tony award winning Broadway shows including: 42nd Street, No No Nanette, Jekyll & Hyde, Footloose, Chicago & Wicked, honoring the composers and choreographers who have made their mark in Broadway history!



The show truly is dynamic and audience members at the theatre have been thrilled based upon their comments after the show. The show runs close to two hours with a 15 minute intermission. The show presents a chronological history of Broadway with Act I composed of classic song & dance routines as well as burlesque skits covering the 1890's through the 1930's. Some of these great classics include 42nd Street, Give My Regards to Broadway, Your Feet's too Big, The Charleston and more. Act II begins with some popular 1950's era numbers and gracefully glides into present day with show stopping numbers from Wicked, Rent, The Little Mermaid, Hairspray and much more.

The all professional cast is so well versed in the nuances of this show (each having established a long working history with Weber-Prinati productions) that each number performed carries it's own unique character and spark that can only be delivered by talent that has risen far above merely rote song and dance routines.

Production dates of this show will run through the end of August. Curtain for "Broadway Fever" is at 8:00 PM each Thursday - Sunday evening. This really is a must see show and you won't regret adding it to your "fun things to do at the beach" list now through the end of August!
