A letter from the
Executive Director
By the time you read this we will have announced our
“LOVE THE LYRIC” fundraising campaign for the future of
our wonderful not-for-profit organization. This 3 YEAR, 3
MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN is designed to make sure The
Lyric stays around for a long time and continues to provide
our community with the best in artistic integrity, community
outreach through our Arts & Education programs and a
comfortable, technically modern historic theater.
The Campaign goal
has three elements:
Replace the orchestra
seating with new more
comfortable chairs, design
and replace the entryways
and doors in the lobby
along with new concession
areas. Install a new box
office system, better
lighting and marquee
updates.
Next, we will retire our
mortgage and create an
increase in our Arts &
Education Programs by providing many more of our schools
with artist residencies and experiences at no cost to the schools.
Finally, a new fund will be established to help underwrite
select programs and artist opportunities that would otherwise
be too costly.
We hope you will consider supporting us in securing The
Lyric’s future, and continue to enjoy all we provide for our
community. We simply ask you to

high-flying acrobatics with the sensual
art form of Burlesque. Winning over 70
international awards, Cirque D’Amour is
performed by the Zunyi Acrobatic Troupe
who explores the history of dance, from
sultry Argentinean Tango to the art of the
striptease made famous by Sally Rand.
This intimate evening of song, dance,
humor and acrobatics is demonstrated
by some of the most talented circus
performers in the world. Cirque D’Amour
brings you a performance of love and
seduction that is filled with gorgeous

Canadian Brass (January 9,
2013: 8:00pm) is returning to The Lyric
stage! The highly celebrated ensemble has
truly earned the distinction of “the world’s
most famous brass group.” Comprised
of five tremendous brass musicians, each
a virtuoso in his own right, the varied
Canadian Brass repertoire features brass
standards as well as a wide-ranging library
of original arrangements created especially
for them. These include the works of
Renaissance and Baroque masters, Classical
works, marches, holiday favorites, ragtime,
Dixieland, Latin, jazz, big band, Broadway
and Christian music as well as popular
songs and standards.
Touring legends, Canadian Brass have an
enthusiastic fan base and play to packed
houses everywhere throughout the USA,
Canada, Japan and Europe. Masters of
concert presentations, Canadian Brass
has developed a uniquely engaging stage
presence and rapport with audiences.
Whatever the style, the music is central
and performed with utmost dedication,
skill and excellence. The hallmark of
any Canadian Brass performance is
entertainment, spontaneity, virtuosity and
of course – fun! And they do it with style.
Famous for their unique attire of formal
black suits and white running shoes, each
of the brass musicians plays on 24-karat
gold plated Conn-Selmer instruments,
ensuring the best sound possible with the
most flair.
Not only does Canadian Brass boast
a 40 year touring history and a highly
impressive recording catalog, but the
group has also attracted
a large audience of over
1 million viewers on their
YouTube channel. The
five-person ensemble
proves their ability to
bring the previously
underappreciated genre
of brass music to a
younger generation
with their excitement
and musical
adaptability. With
four decades under
their belts, Canadian
Brass continues to thrill
audiences around the
world – and they don’t
look like they are letting up
anytime soon!

In 1981, a group of Senate staff
members got together to come up with a
series of song parodies for a Christmas
party performance. The show was such a
success on Capitol Hill that the members
of the group decided to try their luck as
a traveling performance group. Three
decades later, the veteran troupe has
received wide-reaching success and critical
accolades for their biting wit and fresh take
on contemporary political topics. They’ve
released 30 albums with their famous
song parodies, including their latest album
entitled “Take the Money and Run – For

The Machine Performs Pink Floyd
Jan. 17th | 8:00pm
Michael’s love of opera blossomed when
a choir director in upstate New York
introduced him to legendary Swedish tenor
Jussi Björling. Along the way, Michael
attracted the attention of opera-legend
Luciano Pavarotti who encouraged him in
his pursuit of classical performance. The
rest is history.
Although Michael is truly an international
artist, proficient in 7 languages and
traveling across the world to perform,
the vocalist is a devout patriot of his
homeland of the United States. The son of
a decorated World War II Army Air Corps
veteran, Michael recently produced an
album entitled “Amante Salutes America,”
from which all proceeds were donated to
the nation’s disabled veterans.

In the classic tradition, The Machine
explores collective improvisation
paralleling and even rivaling that of an
early 1970’s Pink Floyd mentality. Their
use of expanded theatrical elements and
elaborate stage displays continues in
the spirit of the later Floyd lineups of
the 1980’s. The band is also known for
recreating entire albums as a part of their
show, accepting requests from fans, and for
taking an A to Z approach in which one
song is played for every
letter of the
alphabet.

lunacy of musicians Igudesman & Joo into

The duo has picked up the mantle of

In part, what makes Igudesman & Joo so
unique is that they are enjoyed with equal
gusto by audiences ranging from an eightyear-old who has never heard of Bach or
Brahms to seasoned musical connoisseurs.
Amazingly, one of their strongest

Franz Liszt, was born in Budapest to

from Australia to South America, where
critics have described the talented
pianist as “a driving force with a lyrical

Peter graduated from Bela Bartok
Conservatory of Music and received his
doctorate from the prestigious Franz Liszt
Academy of Music, where he would later

La Diva
(January 27, 2013: 4:00pm & 7:00pm) this
January. All Hands on Deck captures
the spirit of the 1940s in a flashback
to the days of USO tours and radio
extravaganzas. The critically acclaimed
musical is a two-act time capsule of songs
and dances that defined an era; performed
by a dynamic cast and 9 piece orchestra.
With over 40 classic big band hits in their
arsenal, All Hands on Deck presents a
true-to-life reproduction of a USO show
modeled after Bob Hope’s famous 1942 tour.
Act One is hosted by Ted Crosley and
follows a war-bond drive as they travel the
country. When the gang is called back for
an emergency live radio broadcast on the
Armed Forces Radio, Crosley and the rest
of the group decide to broadcast directly
from the theatre. Act Two is a live radio
show complete with on-air antics, classic
commercials and a live studio audience - you!
All Hands on Deck features John
Handley, “Hollywood’s favorite new
tenor,” Daisy Maxwell, “the sweater girl,”
and Betty Blake, “the blond bombshell.”
The clever, playful arrangements and
traditional stylings of All Hands on Deck
will remind you of the likes of American
comedian Jack Benny. The show brings
you a refreshingly authentic recreation of
classic 1940s musical entertainment that
stays true to its origins and celebrates the
golden days of big band and live radio.

Batten down for
(January 28, 2013: 7:00pm), the Celticinspired phenomenon sweeping the land
with their lively instrumentals, Irish-bred
flair and cross-over popularity. Getting
their first big break as the party band in
James Cameron’s mega-hit Titanic, Gaelic
Storm have released 8 albums featuring
their energetic blend of traditional Irish
and Scottish music with pop influences.
Their spontaneity and vigor must be
experienced live to truly appreciate their
multi-faceted renderings of traditional
folk music.
Gaelic Storm got their start in 1996,
when members Patrick Murphy, Steve
Wehmeyer, Steve Twigger and Brian
Walsh joined together to perform at
O’Brien’s Irish Pub and Restaurant in
Santa Monica, California. The group
received immediate attention from locals
and Gaelic Storm began to perform at a
number of pubs in the area the following
year. When James Cameron chose the
talented young musicians as the band to
play in Titanic’s ship steerage party scene,
the group’s popularity skyrocketed. Now,
Gaelic Storm plays over 125 dates a year,
touring throughout the United States,
United Kingdom, France and Japan.

Since its inception in 1997, The Lyric Theatre’s Arts & Education program has provided
Treasure Coast families with the wonderfully unique and magical experience that only live
performing arts can offer. As funding for the arts continues to dwindle, The Lyric is more
committed than ever to give all area students and families the opportunity to share in this
cultural resource. It is for these reasons The Lyric has adapted a multi-faceted approach to
sharing our message, educating our youth, bringing families together and opening young minds.

We didn’t get questioned
once about when it would

LYRIC’S SUMMER CAMP
My daughter Rylie absolutely
LOVED The Lyric’s Awesome
Summer Camp… we were
not sure how it would go, she
is very shy and even though
she can be a ham at home
she‘s not one to perform in
front of strangers, she even
dropped out of ballet because
she didn’t want to dance in
front of the class…but she
performed at the “sharing”
in more than a few dance
numbers and after the show
we took her to get ice cream
and all she could talk about
was how she wished it wasn’t
over and how she can’t wait
to go again next summer. She
has even asked to go for the
whole time the camp is open
rather than going for just
a 2 week session. This was
by far her favorite camp she
attended all summer.

Announcing the Launch
of Our Capital Campaign!
Continued from page 16
African Acrobats International, Inc. has
established the ultimate African Circus;
the cradle of all cultures, the ultimate
source for all music, dance and ritual for all
humanity. Celebrate the richness of African
cultures with this dazzling show that blends

feature an array of never before seen talents
mixed with some of the best love skills
associated with African variety arts.
Cirque Zuma Zuma combines the
mysticism and magic of the Dark Continent
with the out-of-this-world excitement of
a theatrical cirque performance. With live
music and percussionists, the talented cast
performs a non-stop, action-packed show
of aerial acts, Egyptian limbo dancers,
South African gumboot dancers, Gabonese
tumblers, South African contortionists,
amazing pole acts, and more with non-stop
action and amazing feats which will keep
audiences breathless. Partial proceeds to
benefit the St. Paul African Methodist
Episcopal Church.
And now, may we introduce you to Zero
Mostel in the delicately rendered one(February
person play
15, 2013: 7:00pm & February 16, 2013:
4:00pm & 7:00pm). The sensitive and
thought-provoking piece explores the life
of Zero Mostel, the
Jewish comedic
actor and TonyAward winner.
Mostel’s
Zero Hour
experiences with being black-listed during
the 1950s and his success with Fiddler
on the Roof and The Producers are retold
by playwright and actor Jim Brochu, a
lifelong admirer of the famous comedian.
Brochu won the 2010 Drama Desk Award
of Outstanding Solo Performance and the
Helen Hayes Award for the subtlety and
honesty that he brought to the role in
Zero Hour.
A native of Brooklyn, Jim Brochu
produced his first show when he was
13 years old. Four years later, Jim was
working on Broadway, selling drinks at the
St. James Theatre during intermissions. He
would go on to study drama at CarnegieMellon University and he got his B.A. in
English at St. Francis College. Jim made
his Broadway debut as Christopher Sly in
a revival of Shakespeare’s The Taming of
the Shrew. His latest role as Zero Mostel is
a personal achievement for the Broadway
veteran, as the life of the Jewish comedian
was of particular interest to Brochu early
on in production. He brings a significant
amount of personality and wit to the
character, proving himself as the New York
Times called him the “Man of the Theatre.”
Zero Hour portrays Mr. Mostel being
interviewed in his art studio by an unseen
New York Times reporter who tries to
separate fact from fanciful fiction and also
concentrates on the comedian’s laughless
years when he was blacklisted in the
1950s following his refusal to name names
before the House Un-American Activities
Committee. Even here there are hilarious
moments, including a near-verbatim
depiction of his appearance in front of
the committee, showing Mr. Mostel as the
ultimate canny provocateur. For all the
humor born out of bitterness, there also are
equal amounts of bigheartedness and deep
empathy. Mr. Brochu captures Mr. Mostel’s
thundering bravado — the florid language,
extravagant gestures, the wagging brows
and glowering stare, the way the comedian
could never pass up a pun. The low humor
is abundant, but so are the high ideals.
Mr. Mostel claims to have come from
nothing, but Zero Hour affirms his
worth as both an actor and a man.

Doo-Wah Riders
Feb. 17th | 7:00pm
Saddle up for the genre-defying and
wildly entertaining
(February 17, 2013: 7:00pm).
The high energy quintet boasts an impressive
30-year career working with some of country
music’s biggest stars, including Garth
Brooks, George Strait, Willie Nelson and
Dolly Parton. Appearing on stages across the
country as well as on national television and in
major motion pictures, the Doo-Wah Riders
are unique for their combination of invaluable
decades of experience and youthful musical
energy. Their tight musicianship and powerful
arrangements of classic and original songs
have made them favorites everywhere they go.
The group produced their first, selftitled album in 1993, featuring some
of their greatest fan favorites and the
track “Glowing in the Ashes,” which was
performed in the movie “Basic Instinct”
starring Michael Douglas and Sharon
Stone. Their debut CD also featured the
remarkable musicianship of former band
member and world-renowned fiddler Byron
Berline. They would work with the talented
international artist again on the album
“Fiddle and a Song” which was nominated
for a Grammy in 1995. The Doo-Wah
Riders didn’t stop there, releasing 6 more
albums including two unforgettable, bootstompin’ live albums. Their latest release,
entitled “Obstacles,” took over 2 turbulent
years to record and might prove to be their
greatest accomplishment yet.
The Doo-Wah Riders have a long history
performing in every aspect of the music
industry. The 5-man group has served as
backup band for such stars as Lee Ann
Womack, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Martina
McBride. Apart from being featured in
“Basic Instict,” the Riders have appeared
on TNN’s Prime Time Country and Dick
Clark’s national television production “Will
You Marry Me?” Kenny, Lindy, Keith,
James and Perry form an enthusiastic
collection of home-grown country
enthusiasts and multi-talented musicians
who know how to rock the house. They’ll
bring their collective skills on a variety
of instruments from the fiddle to the
harmonica to The Lyric stage in February.

Solo
renegade,
Acoustic Performance (February 18, 2013:
7:00pm & February 23, 2013: 2:00pm) is
bringing his Grammy-winning southernrock sound to the Treasure Coast in an
unprecedented solo acoustic performance.
He has charted more than forty times on
the Hot Country Songs charts, including
five number ones — “Help Me Hold
On,” “Anymore,” “Can I Trust You with
My Heart,” “Foolish Pride” and “Best of
Intentions.” Seven of his albums (counting
his Greatest Hits) are certified platinum or
higher, and he’s had 15 additional top ten
singles. Now on tour, Travis Tritt comes
to The Lyric armed with only his acoustic
guitar in an uplugged, raw and intimate
sharing of his songs and stories.
Tritt’s love affair with music began as a
child, teaching himself how to play guitar
when he was eight and beginning to
write songs when he was 14. Travis was
determined to have a musical career, much
to his parents dismay. Following his parents
advice, Tritt tried to settle down into a more
traditional life of work and family but was
unsuccessful. Twice divorced by age 22, he
continued to play music while working various
jobs; including one where the company’s
vice president was a guitarist who gave up
hopes of a musical career and urged Tritt to
follow his dreams. Tritt quit his job and began
pursuing a career full-time. In a stroke of
good fortune, Tritt’s demo tape landed in the
hands of a Warner Brothers’ executive and
in 1989, Warner Brothers’ Nashville division
signed Tritt. His debut album, Country Club,
appeared in the stores in the spring 1990. It
was preceded by the Top Ten hit, “Country
Club.” His next two singles, “Help Me Hold
On” and “I’m Gonna Be Somebody,” hit
number one and two respectively. “Put Some
Drive in Your Country,” which had a clear rock
& roll influence, stalled at number four, since
radio programmers were reluctant to feature
such blatantly rock-derived music.
Tritt had a breakthrough success with his
second album, 1991’s It’s All About to Change went into multi-platinum territory.
T-r-o-u-b-l-e, Tritt’s third album, was
released in 1992-it had the number one
single, “Can I Trust You With My Heart,”
and went gold. Tritt came back in 1994
with Ten Feet Tall & Bulletproof, which went
platinum, spawned the number one single
“Foolish Pride,” and marked his highest
position, number 20, on the pop charts. His
1995 compilation Greatest Hits: From the
Beginning went platinum within six months

Lily Tomlin’s alter ego Earnestine the
Operator. Ever since, Eddie has been
making people laugh and cheer with his
spot-on performances of the biggest
divas in the business. He got the idea of
making a career out of his gift when one
Halloween, someone from La Cage aux
Folles encouraged him to take his Barbra
Streisand impersonation to the next level.
Eddie took his advice and began to travel
the world sharing his act everywhere from
Las Vegas to Singapore.
Born in 1965, Eddie’s brother Anthony
didn’t have quite the same plans as his
brother. Anthony went to the California
Institute of the Arts, receiving a degree
in Music and later moved to San Diego,
graduating from the San Diego Police
Academy in the early 90s and on the law
enforcement track. Despite these initial
aspirations, Anthony suddenly realizes his
true calling in life. Finally recognizing his
own unique talents, he joined forces with
his brother Eddie to form the talented duo
performing worldwide today. Anthony
expertly performs over 75 characters
from Neil Diamond to Lionel Richie, and
is considered by the media as one of the
finest impressionists in the world. People
Magazine remarked that “to witness Mr.
Edwards recreate these superstars is
simply a miracle.” Witness the miracle this

Their repertoire features some of the best

including hits from the Bee Gees, KC &

(February 25, 2013:
8:00pm). Often referred to as the “poet of
the violin,” Bell continues to enchant
audiences with his breathtaking
virtuosity, tone of sheer beauty
and charismatic stage presence.
His restless curiosity, passion,
universal appeal and multifaceted musical interests
have earned him the
title of “classical music
superstar.” Joshua Bell
has transformed the way
that international audiences
view the instrument, from
academia to cinematic scores.
Bell has collaborated with some
of the best composers and symphonies
in the world, and received international
recognition when Bell’s YouTube video
of his undercover subway performance in
Washington D.C. hit over 3 million views.
Joshua Bell began taking violin lessons at
the age of 4, when his parents discovered
his innate and insatiable interest in creating
music around the house. Although Bell’s
parents were never demanding of the
young musician, Joshua took immediately
to the violin and became serious about his
abilities by the age of 12, studying under
the tutelage of violinist and pedagogue
Josef Gingold. By the age of 14, Bell
appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia
Orchestra and had finally found his place
as a major player in contemporary classical
music. By 1985, the up and coming star had

When you support The Lyric – by becoming a member, buying a sidewalk star,
joining the Director’s Circle or even sponsoring a show – you play a key role in bringing
a diverse and exciting slate of world-renowned artists to the Treasure Coast. Your
contribution is vital to underwriting The Lyric’s daily operations and keeping ticket prices
at popular levels. You’re invited to play any of the following roles – or all of them!
The future of Stuart’s
Historic Showplace
is brighter than ever
these days and a
big reason for this
success is . . .YOU!
Become a member
Be a sidewalk “star”
Becoming a Lyric member is easy and affordable
- and it offers big benefits too! For as little as $35,
you can enjoy advance notice of upcoming events
and have the chance to purchase tickets before
the general public. Higher membership levels
offer even more privileges.
Some of our brightest stars have provided $1,000 in
underwriting to support the restoration fund for Stuart’s Historic
Showplace. You’ll find these “stars” right under your feet as you
arrive at The Lyric! In recognition of your contribution you’ll
receive a bronze star embedded in the sidewalk at the Theatre’s
entrance with an inscription of your choice.
Sponsor a show
Be a director
Individuals and businesses can literally get their names in
lights when they sponsor a Lyric performance! As a show
sponsor, you’ll receive complimentary tickets with preferred
seating and discounts on additional tickets. You may also
help to introduce the artist and receive recognition for your
sponsorship. Opportunities may also exist for a private “meet
and greet” with the performers after the show. Sponsorships
are an ideal way to entertain your clients or friends while
providing favorable exposure for your business.
Should you wish to provide ongoing financial
support to the Theatre over a five-year period,
you will become an honored member of the
Lyric Director’s Circle. Your generosity will be
recognized through a prominent listing on the
Donor Wall in the Theatre lobby as well as a
listing in the Lyric magazine. You’ll also receive
invitations to special events and personalized
concierge service at the box office.
To become a Lyric Member, call The Lyric Box Office today at 772-286-7827 or visit LyricTheatre.com.
To take part in one of our other great sponsorship opportunities, call the Executive Director’s
office at 772.220.1942, ext. 208

Fiddler on the Roof
Feb. 26th | 8:00pm
Feb. 27th | 4:00 & 8:00pm
Based on Tevye and his Daughters by Sholem
Aleichem, Fiddler on the Roof follows the
story of Tevye, a father of five girls, living
in Tsarist Russia at the turn of the century.
Tevye struggles endlessly in his attempts to
reconcile his personal religious traditions with
the encroaching influence of outside forces,
including the political actions of the current
Tsar. Tevye faces his greatest obstacles when
he begins to challenge the increasingly strongwilled natures of his aging daughters as they
confront a shifting social and political reality.
Originally premiering in 1964, Fiddler on the
Roof is Broadway’s fifteenth longest-running
show in history, running in New York for
almost 10 years. The timeless story of family,
faith, and inevitable change has inspired four
Broadway revivals, a 1971 film, and countless
community and educational productions. The
musical features the music of Tony Awardwinning composer Jerry Bock and lyrics by
Sheldon Harnick. The original production
was nominated for ten Tony Awards winning
a total of nine, including Best Musical,
Best Score, Best Book, and Best Direction
and Choreography. After nearly a decade
of performance, Fiddler on the Roof won an
additional Tony Award in 1972 for being the
longest-running musical in Broadway history.
Relive the tradition!

ZERO HOUR The Zero Mostel Play
Zero Hour is a sensitive and thought-provoking one-person play that explores the life of
Zero Mostel, the Jewish comedic actor and Tony-Award winner.
Mostel’s experiences with being black-listed
during the 1950s and his success with Fiddler
on the Roof and The Producers are retold by
playwright and actor Jim Brochu, a lifelong
admirer of the famous comedian. Brochu won
the 2010 Drama Desk Award of Outstanding
Solo Performance and the Helen Hayes Award
for the subtlety and honesty that he brought to
the role in Zero Hour.
A native of Brooklyn, Jim Brochu produced
his first show when he was 13 years old. Four
years later, Jim was working on Broadway,
selling drinks at the St. James Theatre during
intermissions. He would go on to study drama
at Carnegie-Mellon University and he got
his B.A. in English at St. Francis College. Jim
made his Broadway debut as Christopher Sly
in a revival of Shakespeare’s The Taming of
the Shrew. Jim Brochu was worked on and
off-stage, featured in television commercials
and programs such as All My Children and
34
The Young and The Restless. Jim has written a
number of plays including comedies The Lucky
O’Learys starring Helen Hunt as well as Fat
Chance with Virginia Capers.
Jim now lives in New York City after
living in Los Angeles for 22 years. However,
Jim certainly can’t stay still. The talented
playwright and actor has been traveling
the world lecturing about the history of
Broadway and performing in various theatrical
performances. He is a member of the
Dramatists Guild, Actors Equity Association,
and the Society of Stage Directors and
Choreographers. His latest role as Zero Mostel
is a personal achievement for the Broadway
veteran, as the life of the Jewish comedian was
of particular interest to Brochu early on in
production. He brings a significant amount of
personality and wit to the character, proving
himself as the New York Times called him, the
“Man of the Theatre.”
