Bay Path University’s Spring Musical Head Over Heels Brings 80s Go-Go’s Energy and Shakespearean Romance to the Stage
LONGMEADOW, MA – Get ready to turn up the volume! Bay Path University's Performing Arts Department is thrilled to present Head Over Heels, a high-energy musical comedy set to the iconic hits of The Go-Go's. The production will take the stage at Mills Theatre, Carr Hall on Bay Path's Longmeadow campus from March 28, 29 & 30.
Based on The Arcadia by Sir Philip Sidney, this laugh-out-loud musical follows the royal family of Arcadia as they embark on a wild journey to prevent a mysterious prophecy from dooming their kingdom. Along the way, through disguises, deception, and radical self-discovery, they come to realize that the key to their realm's survival lies within each of their hearts.
Infused with the electric spirit of the 1980s, the heart of a Shakespearean romance, and beloved Go-Go's anthems like We Got the Beat, Vacation, and Heaven is a Place on Earth, Head Over Heels is a glittering, high-camp fever dream packed with love, laughter, and '80s glamour.
Directed by Robert James Tomasulo, Director of Performing Arts and Musical Activities, this production features show-stopping choreography by guest artist Rachel Ballasy and vibrant '80s-inspired costumes designed by Bay Path alumna Krista Garriepy '17.
Don't miss this exhilarating and heart-filled ride—because in Arcadia, discovering your true self is the greatest adventure of all!
