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.

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. The Machine is as real as it gets. Spin Magazine affirms, the Machine “sounds exactly like Pink Floyd.” from Hungary, but returned in 1996 to overwhelming critical acclaim.

The duo has picked up the mantle of Victor Borge and P.D.Q. Bach and given it a third millennium makeover. Like their predecessors, they are accomplished musicians who have turned the world’s most esteemed concert halls into standing room only comedy clubs. Think Mozart hijacked by Monty Python and you have some idea of the mayhem created on worldwide stages at the highest level of musicianship--and immortalized on videos with more than 28 million viewings. 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 demographics in the U.S. is among 15 to 35-year-olds.

Reminisce of days gone by with the nostalgic blast from the past, All Hands on Deck La Diva Tenors Jan. 25th | 7:00pm classical performances, mixing genres and styles with hearty doses of humor and theatricality. Yet, while their spin may be irreverent, their buffoonery is always tempered by impeccable musicianship and unwavering commitment to their craft.

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.

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 loved Solo Circus.... even Brianna (almost 17 months old) was clapping and cheering! All of the parents and kids we talked to loved it as much as we did! We are so blessed to have this amazing opportunity to take part in the Discovery Series!! Thank you so much!!!” - Laurie Buchanan, Olivet Homeschool DISCOVERY SERIES They really enjoyed it. We didn’t get questioned once about when it would be over, and that’s a real accomplishment in keeping them engaged. For our family, the value is in exposure to the performing arts, to create a love of live theater, ballet, etc. The prices are Amazing! We make every effort to attend all of the Discovery Series productions. - Karen Angstadt, Parents Etc. 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. -Valerie L Cousins Discovery Series • This mainstay of The Lyric’s educational outreach has provided quality programming to Treasure Coast schools for over 14 years. • Since 1997, over 105,000 school children have come to The Lyric to experience the wonder of live theater – many of them for the first time. • Comprised of educational programming designed to support Florida state curriculum requirements. • Professionally produced, high quality shows designed to educate, entertain and inspire.

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. Zero Hour Feb. 15th | 7:00pm th Feb. 16 | 4:00pm & 7:00pm 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.

Grand Ole Opry alum and country music 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 Travis Tritt 24 For tickets and information, call The Lyric Theatre Box Office at 772-286-7827 or visit www.LyricTheatre.com.

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 February at The Lyric Theatre! father-son Dion tribute band, comprised of members Yo’ Vinny and his sons Vinny the Kid and Nicky Stix.

Their New Yorkbred sound combined with the youthful energy of members Nicky Stix and Vinny The Kid make for a surprisingly fresh and spontaneous show.

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.

Fiddler on 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!

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.” THE LYRIC THEATER Good luck in the 2012-2013 Season!
