The Lowe Family
Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 8:00 pm
....Think
Colossal....
Then think beyond. Only then do
you have an idea of the titanic amount of talent within the musical Lowe Family.” For those who have never seen the Lowe Family
perform, the words of entertainment reporter Julie Kilmer seem to offer a glimpse of what they could be missing. Indeed, with over
250,000 hours of practicing, 10,000 music lessons, 50 instruments, and 25 years entertaining, the Lowe Family had
earned the reputation as America’s Most Talented Family.
Through music, song, and dance, the Lowe Family shares their talents via TV, radio, and live performances throughout the world.
Versatile with many instruments, the Lowes offer an amazing blend of show-stopping classical, Broadway, Irish, jazz, bluegrass,
old-time favorites, spectacular dance, 6-part harmony, gospel, and more.
The Lowe Family is based in Branson, Missouri where they spend several months performing in the Lawrence Welk Theatre
throughout the year. When they’re not in Branson, you might find them close to you as they tour throughout the United States with
select international dates.

OF MICE AND MEN Tuesday, November 3, 2009
- 8:00 pm
A compelling tale of two migrant workers. George and Lennie
dream of a place they can call their own. But as all too often happens, “the best laid schemes o’ mice and men” go awry in John
Steinbeck’s timeless masterpiece.

Altar Boyz, Sunday, November 22,2009
- 8:00 pm is the longest running new musical comedy to open in New York in years! Full of sharp parody,
sinfully spectacular dancing, and irreverent humor, this spoof about a heavenly guy-group is adored by
audiences and critics alike. With an extraordinary mix of side-splitting songs “convincing enough to be played on MTV,” uncontrollable laughs and lighthearted
fun, this award-winning and totally original new musical is “90 minutes of pure delight” that's suitable for all ages and will
have “the whole family laughing and singing along.” Altar Boyz recently completed its First National Tour. Altar Boyz enjoyed its
Asian premiere in Seoul, South Korea, and its European premiere in Budapest |

The WEDDING SINGER, Tuesday, January 12.
2010 - 8:00 pm
...it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey’s
favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancé leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes
every wedding as disastrous as his own. When he meets an admiring young waitress, it’s love at first sight. Only trouble is Julie is about to be married to a Wall Street shark,
and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving
homage to the pop songs of the 1980’s, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good,
collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

February 12,
2010 - 8:00 pm
In the hands of Ken Ludwig, this tale of mistaken identities, human foibles, and
loves lost and found (not to mention cross-dressing) comes alive in a hilarious romp that has had great success in regional theatres
around the country. Delightfully silly, Leading Ladies follows the adventures of Jack and Leo, two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean
actors, who hope to scam their way out of the Moose Lodge circuit by posing as the long-lost nephews of Florence, an elderly
and apparently dying heiress. When our heroes learn that Florence’s missing relatives are nieces, not nephews, they ransack their
costume trunks and don women’s clothing—but their successful masquerade proves problematic when Leo falls head-over-heels for
Florence’s winsome niece, Meg.
Will Jack and Leo inherit millions and spend the rest of their lives in the lap of luxury: Will Meg marry her stuffy, fortune-hunting
fiancé or follow her dream of seeing the big, wide world? Slapstick goofiness, scrambled Shakespeare, and good-natured laughs
make Leading Ladies an irresistible treat.
Montana Rep is dedicated to exploring the national character through great American stories. We feel confident that Leading Ladies
has the singular power. |
