We got you covered! Keep reading to discover some of our highlights from “Big Fun” Summer 2020 Playlist!
“Raise You Up / Just Be” -- Kinky Boots
Who doesn’t love a good pump up song?!?! This is the perfect tune to get you dancing, feeling good, and enjoying life. This song is a self-acceptance haven about loving who you are and never letting anyone tell you otherwise! Put your high heeled shoes on and pump up the beat with this funky pop song! You’ll feel it in your body! Woo we feel the sweat already!
“We’re Just Friends” -- I Love You Because
Just friends. Ok...we know what that REALLY means, don’t we? This fine piece of musical theatre comes from a show that is a modern twist on Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. How cool, right? I Love You Because is set in New York City and tells the story of a young couple and their friends experiencing the battles and triumphs of love, and in the end realizing they love each other because of them. Cute right? We thought so too.
“Jet Set” -- Catch Me if You Can
Ooh, wouldn’t we love to travel somewhere. Anywhere! How about Wisconsin? Texas? California? Or what about Brazil? Italy? France? Mexico? Well good thing we can in this song! Jet Set to all these locations and more in 3 and a half minutes thanks to this song! And maybe find some love along the way… Shoulder bop to this song while pretending to taste authentic Italian pasta and see the Eiffel Tower, all in a day's work!
“Out of the Frying Pan” -- The Spitfire Grill
This show might sound familiar to some! We are bringing you a glimpse into The Spitfire Grill: a show from our 2020 season that has been postponed due to COVID-19. We are devastated that this had to happen, but are hopeful for the future of Art 4! This song follows a young Percy, fresh out of prison experiencing cooking for the first time...all by herself. It’s comical to say the least. We’ve all been there, Percy, and we understand, girl! Keep working it, in and out of the kitchen!
“The Ballad of Sara Berry” -- 35mm: A Musical Exhibition
Speaking of Art 4 seasons, we are excited to share with you a song from one of our upcoming shows! Take a trip down memory lane to senior prom with this song. Some people would kill to be crowned prom queen. Wait, is that literally or figuratively? Guess you’ll have to find out! We are so excited to be bringing this show to you in a little more than 2 months! Stay tuned for more information on how YOU can see this brilliant exhibition in September!
