The Kid Inside: A New Year's Musical Revue

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre rounds out its December lineup of family-friendly holiday events with an all-ages New Year's Eve performance entitled The Kid Inside.

The brainchild of Greta Rothman, who has created three previous New Year's shows at CVLT, The Kid Inside views the start of the new decade as an opportunity to reflect and re-connect with the joys of childhood and the wide-eyed kid in each of us, through music, stories and poetry. Audiences will be treated to songs both familiar and perhaps unfamiliar from classics like Free To Be You And Me, Sesame Street, and the Disney catalog, plus material from the worlds of pop music and musical theater, as performed by a seven voice ensemble (Don Bernardo, Aubrey Fisher, Gene Karlen, Pamela LaForce, Paula Pike, Andrew Rothman, and Greta Rothman) with a quartet led by musical director Robert Day.

The Kid Inside is a unique and light-hearted musical revue aimed not just at current kids, but at former kids too. The performance begins at 8:00 PM and is expected to finish in plenty of time for audience members to reach other 'midnight destinations' if they wish. The event includes a post-show reception with a champagne toast and hors d'oeuvres upstairs in the theatre's River Room.

Tickets for the The Kid Inside are $25 adult, $10 youth. Performed without intermission, and therefore not recommended for young children. For tickets to all Chagrin Valley Little Theatre productions and events, call 440-247-8955 (Mon-Sat, 1-6 PM) or visit www.CVLT.org for online ticketing at no extra cost.
