"Extra! Extra" BHS spring musical tickets now on sale
"Extra! Extra" is the title of the spring's Bluffton High School music. Performances are Friday and Saturday, April 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 6 at 2 p.m. in the middle school cafetorium stage
The book, music and lyrics are by Steve Cooper.
Here's a description of the plot:
"Extra! Extra!" Sing all about it in this witty fast-paced musical revue that examines every human foible, failure, fact and fiction that’s fit to print.
The setting is a busy newsstand/coffee shop run by Joey, the old wizened proprietor.
He is assisted by the Kid who is young and idealistic about life. As the two purvey papers to their many customers, every section of the paper - from the want ads to the horoscopes, the obits, the advice column, the weather, the crossword puzzle and even the tabloids- are spoofed, spotlighted and celebrated in song.
Ticket prices:
• Reserved seating $7.50
• Adult general admission $3
• Student general admission $1
Reserve seating tickets are on sale in the Bluffton Middle School office during school hours. General admission tickets will be available at the door.
