STAGE DOOR THEATRE PRESENTS

“BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO”

FEATURING THE MUSIC OF NEIL SEDAKA

It’s a Catskills summer at The Stage Door Theatre with its final production“Breaking Up Is Hard To Do” that is now on stage, playing in their long time venue on Sample Rd. , through August 12, 2018. The Stage Door’s next production, La Cage Aux Folles, opens in their new home at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center on August 31, 2018. Watch for news of the event.

This comic story, “Breaking Up” is that of Marge and Lois, two friends from Brooklyn, who arrive at “Esther’s Paradise Resort," Labor Day weekend, 1960, a holiday in search of good times and romance that was intended to be Marge’s honeymoon‑ until the groom left her at the alter.

It includes a live band showcasing 18 Sedaka classics including: “Where The Boys Are,” “Sweet Sixteen,” “Calendar Girl,” “Love Will Keep Us Together,” and of course, the chart‑topping title song “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.” Mr. Sedaka seems to have a song for every emotion.

Lois attempts to console Marge by setting her up with the resort’s handsome, self‑obsessed singer Del Delmonaco, but her plans backfire when Del mistakenly assumes that Marge’s father can further his ambitions to become the next teen heartthrob on American Bandstand. Gazing forlornly at Marge from the Wings is geekish cabana boy Gabe.

In the meantime, when he isn’t entertaining guests, with his comical Borsht Belt Shtick, house comedian Harvey, is secretly carrying a torch for widowed resort owner Esther, who is more preoccupied with keeping her hotel opened. The show’s cast consists of Molly Shippy, Leigh Green, Trenton Bainbridge, Bruno Faria, Gail Byer, and Michael Small.

“Breaking Up Is Hard To Do,” is a terrific theatrical collaboration of story and music with plenty of laughs. Tickets are $48 at the box office presently located at 8036 Sample Road, Margate. For all additional information call 954‑344‑7765. Performances are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. Purchase tickets online at www.stagedoorfl.org.

Bernardo’s younger sister, Maria, tells her best friend and Bernardo’s girlfriend Anita Palacio, with whom she works at a bridal shop, how excited she is about the dance as they work on altering Maria’s dress.
