76- CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, June 9 - June15, 2000
TicKets now on sale for 'Razzle Dazzle' performances at RAL
The Razzle Dazzle revue will
come to town June 17 and 18 for
three performances only at the
Chambers Studio at the Rehoboth
Art League.
Spotlighting a trio of profes-
sional musical comedy perform-
ers, Razzle Dazzle is an eclectic
collection of musical numbers
about the complicated world of
show business - featuring classic
show tunes as well as some deli-
ciously obscure words and music.
With topics plucked from the
news and no sacred cows left un-
sung, Razzle Dazzle takes on Hol-
lywood and Times Square.
Starring Margaret Allman,
Hans Bachmann and Eric C. Pe-
terson, Razzle Dazzle 2000 takes
aim at both Broadway and Holly-
wood in a fast paced cabaret per-
formance. The trio was in Re-
hoboth Memorial Day for a re-
hearsal, with both Bachmann and
Peterson using their days off from
other Washington, D.C. produc-
tions to make the day trip to the
beach.
The show, produced by Fay J.
Productions, in partnership with
the Rehoboth Art League, will
have performances at 7 and 9:30
p.m., Saturday, June 17, with a 4
p.m. performance Sunday, June
18. For tickets, call the Art
League at 227-8408.
An edition of Razzle Dazzle,
first presented locally in Lewes
two years ago, played to sold out
houses and rave reviews. Razzle
Dazzle 2000 includes music from
show biz legends like Irving
Berlin, Cole Porter and Andrew
Lloyd Weber and songs from
shows such as 42nd Street, Annie
Get Your Gun, Caberet, and more.
The show is directed by Fay Ja-
cobs, whose theatrical rdsum6 in-
cludes more than 25 years of pro-
fessional productions in the
Washington, D.C. area. Jacobs
was last represented at the beach
with February's sold-out run of
Love Letters at the Art League.

The "beach country" sounds of
Randy Lee Ashcraft and the Salt
Water Cowboy close out the day
as featured entertainers. The
singer/songwriter and his band
won hearts and kept a crowd of
formally dressed ADA supporters
stomping and scootin' at the
Black Tie Hoe Down held earlier
this year at the Rehoboth Country
Club. Ashcraft performs at 6:30
p.m.; all entertainment at the fes-
tival is free.
A balloon glow is set each
night, weather permitting. If
winds and dry weather cooperate,
16 balloons will lift off between
5:30 and 6 a.m. Saturday morn-
ing.
An additional attraction for the
weekend, the Milton Fire Compa-
ny hosts a carnival complete with
rides and games to attract young
and old alike. The carnival is set
in a field across from the festival
grounds.
Included in corporations and
agencies exhibiting at the festival
are Beebe Medical Center, Happy
Harry's, the Delaware Depart-
ment of Insurance, the Delaware
State Fair, Coneetiv and Merck

The annual balloon and craft
festival opens at noon, Friday,
June 9, on the grounds of the Mil-
ton Family Practice, 424 Mulber-
ry Street. Saturday, June 10, the

ues including the Kennedy Cen-
ter, Ford's Theatre and the Na-
tional Theatre, as well as smaller,
well-known stages such as Hori-
zons, the Source and Keegan
Theater.
Razzle Dazzle 2000 features
choreography by Margaret All-
man, who, along with Peterson,
are veterans of the original Razzle
Dazzle. Peterson last appeared at
the Art League in Love Letters.
Washington, D.C. set designer
Don Gardiner will be in town
helping once again to turn the Art
League's Chambers Studio into
an intimate comfortable theater.
While most people were disap-
pointed with the rainy Memorial
Day weekend, Gardiner used the
time to get a head start on Razzle
Dazzle scenery.
According to Jacobs, the
Chambers Studio proved to be a
great setting for a small produc-
tion, with an elevated stage af-
fording the audience an excellent
view of the actors. "With just a
few adjustments and theatrical
gels, the same lights used to spot-
light artists' models work very
well for stage lighting," she said.
Early reservations are suggest-
ed. For more information or to
make reservations, call the Art
League at 227-8408.
