First look at CATCO’s HEAD OVER HEELS

The hits of The Go-Gos fuel a non-stop joyride in this lively new musical Entertainment Weekly calls “a giddy neon anthem of acceptance.” Set in the kingdom of Arcadia, Head Over Heels offers a fresh update on Sir Phillip Sidney’s classic romance, The Arcadia, challenging the boundaries of gender, class and social institutions and exuberantly celebrating love and gender in all of its forms. The royal family and court take an outrageous journey to save their kingdom, only to discover “the beat” lies within each of them. Recommended for ages 13 and up.
