Live Wire City

Welcome to Live Wire City, an electrified musical based on the story of Hercules. Zeta, king of the superheroes, commits a terrible mistake and is stripped of his power to combat evil.  When Ruin enters the city and threatens to destroy it, the young superheroes of the city realize that they cannot save the city alone.  Together, the Team Awesome generation of young superheroes band together and lead Zeta to regaining his powers through acts of courage, wit, and loyalty.  Live Wire City is set to a vibrant big-band musical soundtrack.

Junior Stage introduces the youngest actors and actresses to musical theater.  The class rehearses and performs the same play as the Mainstage class, but with a reduced script. Songs and lines are performed and choreographed, with narration by the director.

 

Main Stage consists of weekly rehearsals, followed by two end-of-season performances.  Children are expected to learn songs, choreography, and lines.  In addition to the rehearsals, each child receives a free half--hour private coaching session with the director.
