Swing into1960s London with the mod fashions, the dance crazes and the smashing music as the Rochester Opera House, with the floor leveled and orchestra seats removed, transforms into a posh British night club with cocktail seating for Shout! The Mod Musical, January 19-28, 2012. (Continued below).

Enjoy a light supper, dessert, cash bar and live band, while you mix with five young women, beautiful “birds,” as they come of age during the dawn of liberation, when English and American women were redefining themselves. Hilarious sound-bites and cheeky one-liners are laced together with music of the era that reflects the changes in attitude toward gender. The musical features the timeless, unforgettable songs of artists like Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, LuLu and Shirley Bassey.

This Rochester Opera House Production, directed and choreographed by Steve Small with live band directed by Kathy Fink, runs from Thursday, January 19 to Saturday January 28.  Laura Scherf, Amanda Dane, Lynette Miles, Seraphina Caligiure and Heidi Gagne portray the beautiful “birds”.
