Looking forward to seeing the show Wednesday night with my hubby. First time we will be able to get out to see something he's not working on in a while. Excited!

**Jdarg** · 12-13-2010, 06:57 PM

Opening night is Thursday- and there are exactly 11 tickets left!

Looks to be a full house for the Rep and the 30a Dancewave girls!

So- if you want to come on Opening Night, I would go to Seaside Repertory Theatre tonight!

This opening night is EXTRA special because there are 2 events, and the Rep has much to celebrate.

Pre-show member reception at 6:30 at Pizitz, a wonderful season sponsor for many years! Let's have champagne and enjoy the beautiful store! If you want to become a Rep member, stop on by and you can drink a glass of fizzy while we sign you up!!

And after the show- the good folks at Great Southern are hosting our opening night after-party- complimentary apps and cash bar. Even if you don't make it to the sow, come by for a little noshing and fun and celebration as the Rep opens the last show of the 10th anniversary season.

Good to know - I'm in the mood for funny

Got my tickets - thanks for the review.

**the nuge** · 12-16-2010, 04:49 PM

Good luck y'all! Can't wait to see it again.

**Seaside Rep Theatre** · 12-17-2010, 08:29 AM

Cheers to a wonderful opening night!

Pizitz Home & Cottage was a beautiful and fun start to the evening- champagne and popcorn with gourmet salts (like lemon rosemary!), and we enjoyed seeing our great members! Welcome to the new members who joined last night, and thank you Pizitz!

The Dancewave girls got the show off to a festive start, and the play was hysterical, with enough nostalgic references (the Norelco ad) and pop culture (PDiddy and Ke$ha) to keep everyone laughing. It was so great to see so many locals in the audience last night!

Thanks to Jim Shirley, Pat Cooper, and the folks at Great Southern for hosting our opening night after-party. They put out a beautiful and delicious spread, and it was fun to continue the holiday cheer after the show!

You have 8 more opportunities to see this holiday show, so go to Seaside Repertory Theatre to buy tickets or call (850) 231-0733, and if you are a member, make sure you get your 20% member's discount!

I think Bri was taking pictures, and I will check with Murray too- maybe somebody can get some this weekend. I can't because my my camera is a cheapo and needs the flash.

**the nuge** · 12-21-2010, 10:03 AM

Check it out. Three more shows this week. Tickets still available at the Rep website or any of the Amavidas. Get a cup of hot cocoa, buy some tickets for the show, and kick off your holiday season at the Rep.
You'll be glad you did.

This show is a great way to get your dose of holiday cuteness and hilarity!

Absolutely loved it and almost feel off my chair laughing!

All good things have to come to an end, and tonight is closing night of Every Christmas Story Ever Told......

If you haven't seen it, then you missed a Frosty the Snowman that can dance like Michael Jackson, warm memories of the Norelco/Noelco TV ads, Brook's dead-on Jimmy Stewart, and a different Cindy Lou Who every night!

Happy New Year from the Seaside Repertory Theatre!

And to get 2011 off to a good start......
