Head Over Heels is a jubilant musical comedy that injects a modern twist on a classic story. Adapted from the 16th-century prose romance "The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia" by Sir Philip Sidney, the musical throws in a generous helping of 1980s pop hits by the iconic all-female band The Go-Go's. This creates a unique mashup of Elizabethan themes with infectious pop melodies. The plot revolves around the royal family of Arcadia, facing a prophecy that threatens their kingdom's very existence. The solution? Embark on a wild journey to rediscover their lost "Beat," the source of their prosperity. Expect mistaken identities, gender-bending revelations, and a whole lot of self-discovery, all wrapped up in a hilarious and heartwarming package. The show's energetic music, including hits like "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed," keeps the audience tapping their toes, while the story celebrates love, acceptance, and the importance of staying true to yourself.

BWW Review: HEAD OVER HEELS at Circuit Playhouse

October 14, 2019

The orchestra strikes the opening drumbeats and bass guitar riffs, instantly recognizable to 80's music aficionados as The Go-Go's' hit 'We Got the Beat.' The curtain rises, and it is immediately clear that the cast has come to play . . . in a BIG way. There is an incredibly fun show playing at The Circuit Playhouse in Overton Square that you may not have heard about. That show is Head Over Heels, a jukebox style musical featuring songs by none other than the quintessential 80's girl group, The Go-Go's, interwoven throughout what can best be described as a 16th century comedic farce. Yes, you heard that right folks. Notwithstanding the prevalence of biographical jukebox musicals in recent years, featuring the song catalogs of such icons as Carole King, Cher, Donna Summer, The Temptations, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and Gloria Estefan, among others, it doesn't get much more original than Head Over Heels, which utilizes the unlikely musical source material against a completely unexpected backdrop.
