T HE 2017 SE ASON WELCOME! We hope you have enjoyed our 2016 season shows as much as we have enjoyed choosing them and seeing them come to life. Our upcoming 2017 season is alive with many new productions providing a variety of subjects that should please everyone. Beauty and the Beast will be our first co-production with Inland Valley Repertory Theatre (IVRT), celebrating a 10-year relationship. We are also presenting two highly requested encores, plus our always original, always heartwarming holiday show, which will continue the tradition of focusing on family and the spirit and meaning of Christmas. Of course none of this would be possible without your continuing loyalty and support. You are always topmost on our minds when we choose shows, and we thank you for making it possible for us to continue this tradition of top class entertainment preceded by top class food specially created for each show. We extend our deepest gratitude and look forward to seeing you in 2017. 2017 SEASON AT A GLANCE 42nd Street JAN. 13 – FEB. 5 FEB. 10 –MAR. 25 MAR. 31 – APR. 29 MAY 5 – JUN. 3 JUN. 9 – JUL. 29 The Sounds of Christmas AUG. 4 – SEP. 9 SEP. 15 – OCT. 14 OCT. 20 – NOV. 25 DEC. 1 – 24 JANUARY 13– FEBRUARY 5 Thursday evening performance only available on February 2; there is no preview for this performance in association with The Candlelight Pavilion Presents Enter the magical world of Belle and the Beast in this classic story of love and friendship. Translated for the stage in 1991 by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, it has since become an international hit having played to over 35 million people worldwide. This classic fairytale tells the story of Belle, a young woman in a small town with dreams of bigger things, and her encounter with the Beast, who is actually a prince under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love then his spell will be lifted, but time is running out, and he risks dooming his household for all eternity. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 FEBRUARY 10 – MARCH 25 Thursday evening performance only available on March 23 42nd Street Aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer leaves her hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania for a shot at the big stage in New York City. With only her tap shoes and her dream, Peggy is able to catch the eye of legendary Broadway director Julian Marsh and land a spot in his upcoming production, Pretty Lady. As the new girl in the chorus line, Peggy is quickly singled out by the show’s lead, Dorothy Brock. But when Dorothy is injured in the show’s preview, Pretty Lady needs a new lead. Full of popular musical theater standards, this musical is a celebration of the industry and is sure to please. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 MARCH 31 – APRIL 29 Thursday evening performance only available on April 27; contains mild adult situations Equal parts modern allegory and fun historic retelling, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Jesus Christ Superstar has something for everyone. The story of Christ’s last seven days is seen through a lens of the late ’60s, comparing his meteoric rise to that of contemporary celebrities. Borrowing from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the story follows the Roman Empire’s increasing distrust of Jesus and his following. When Judas betrays Jesus to the Roman Empire, Jesus and his followers face the ultimate test of their belief. Driven by a stirring score, Jesus Christ Superstar runs the gamut of emotion, with satirical humor, thought-provoking edge, and emotional intensity. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 MAY 5 – JUNE 3 Contains adult situations The Hilarious Celebration of Women and The Change!® Over the past 14 years, millions of people worldwide have been laughing about Menopause, a musical parody staged to hit tunes from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Set in a department store, four diverse women come together over shared experiences regarding menopause. Poking fun at hot flashes, forgetfulness, night sweats, and desires for chocolate, the all-female cast empowers individuals to look at menopause as a stage in people’s lives rather than taboo. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 JUNE 9 – JULY 29 When a tornado hits Dorothy Gale’s Kansas hometown she is transported to the enchanting land of Oz. Told that the Wizard of Oz can send her back to Kansas, she teams up with the Scarecrow, Tin Woodsman, and Cowardly Lion to embark on a quest to Emerald City. On their way they must avoid the Wicked Witch of the West, who seeks to retrieve her dead sister’s magic ruby slippers from Dorothy’s feet. Throughout their quest various roadblocks test each character, but with love, courage, and intelligence they stand a good chance to make it to Emerald City. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 AUGUST 4 – SEPTEMBER 9 Thursday evening performance only available on September 7 Stationed on a beautiful Pacific Island during WWII, two Americans face similar romantic relationships that are threatened by prejudice and war. A high-spirited nurse named Nellie falls in love with an older French planter, Emile. When Nellie finds out that Emile has fathered children with a native on the island, her narrowmindedness threatens their relationship. Separately, a soldier named Joe Cable falls in love with a Tonkinese girl on the island, but is ashamed by the same fears Nellie has of her relationship. When Emile and Joe are sent on a mission together, both women contemplate their relationships as they wait in hope. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 SEPTEMBER 15 –OCTOBER 14 Thursday evening performance only available on October 12 Frank Sinatra once said that the secret of success was to sing great songs. With the musical tribute My Way, the Candlelight plans to bring these same songs to the stage. Rather than attempting to impersonate a legend, My Way smartly features a cast of two men and two women singing nearly 50 songs popularized by Sinatra. Accompanied by a live band, the singers will perform such songs as “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Love and Marriage,” “I Get a Kick Out of You” and more. Come and join us for a celebration of Sinatra’s style, his era, and some of the 20th century’s most enduring tunes. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 OCTOBER 20 – NOVEMBER 25 Thursday evening performance only available on November 16 Set in the late 1970s, 9 to 5 was written based on a book by Patricia Resnick. When three female co-workers are sick of the misogyny and deceit of their male boss, they daydream about what it would be like if he were not around. When an opportunity allows the women to control the office, they change their oppressive workplace into a better environment. With music and lyrics written by Dolly Parton, this laugh-out-loud story of friendship and retribution is sure to get some of its hit songs stuck in your head. www.thecpdt.com • (909) 626-1254 DECEMBER 1–24 The Sounds of Christmas In 1985, the Candlelight Pavilion hosted its first Christmas show, and for more than 30 years we have continued the tradition of writing and producing each of our Christmas shows with a focus on the spirit of the season and bringing family and friends together. We invite you to continue your Christmas traditions with us as we celebrate with an all-new story, The Sounds of Christmas. As is always the tradition here at the Candlelight Pavilion, Santa and Mama stay after the performance to meet guests.

Visit our website for details: www.thecpdt.com STAGED READING SERIES From Film to the Stage! The Candlelight warmly invites you to our second year of the Staged Reading Series, “From Film to the Stage.” This year, we are featuring musicals that were adapted from screenplays. Three different musicals have been selected for this season in order to provide you, the musical theater patron, with even more of musical theater’s greatest shows. The format is the same as our inaugural season, with some of the audience’s favorite past and present performers from the Candlelight Stage reading and singing directly from the score and book. Tickets for the Reading Series are $20, and the shows fall on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Doors open at 6:45 p.m.; shows begin at 7:30 p.m.. No dinner is served, but beverages and desserts are available for purchase. The Staged Reading Series will go on sale to season subscribers November 1, 2016 and to the general public on November 15, 2016. January 25 & 26 It’s conman versus conman in this delightful comedy based on the popular 1988 MGM film. After meeting on a train two men find out that they have a similar profession—swindling rich ladies out of their money. When they realize that the small town they live in isn’t big enough for both of them, they agree on a settlement. The first one to get $50,000 out of a young heiress wins, and the other must leave town. Originally winning 11 Tony Awards, this suave musical is certainly a crowd pleaser. With a jazzy score from David Yazbek (The Full Monty) and a plot filled with twists and turns, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is as sophisticated a musical as it is hilarious. May 10 & 11 Featuring a tuneful score by Tony-winning songwriters Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (Ragtime, Seussical), this wonderfully tender adaptation of the hit Peter O’Toole film is classic musical comedy. Set in New York City in 1954, it’s about a TV comedy show writer’s assistant named Benjy Stone who is given the task of baby-sitting veteran Hollywood actor Alan Swann before he appears on Benjy’s show.
