Musical Comedy Invincible: The Legend of Billie Jean Pays Homage to the '80s
- Full Price:
- $30.00
- Our Price:
- $15.00
Any 1980s kid worth their salt knows the ridiculously awesome cult flick The Legend of Billie Jean, which detailed the adventures of the titular teenage character and her band of juvenile lawbreakers in search for justice. Invincible re-imagines the cult classic as a campy musical, with Billie Jean busting out in song to the hits of rock goddess Pat Benatar and leading her troupe of truants into trouble, all while rocking the best of '80s attire. So put on your heels, leg warmers and acid wash jeans and relive the rousing legend of Billie Jean in this trouble-making, toe-tapping production. Learn More

Quotes & Highlights
- Check out Goldstar member reviews for Love, Connie in its run at Celebration Theatre.
- "[A] hilarious, risque... slightly demented evening. Lightning-speed costume changes and high-energy dance routines. Why not take your mom or grandma along?" --LA Weekly
- "With its emphasis on bubbly fun, Love, Connie is such a tonic! Pure enjoyment!" --Arts Beat
- "Cantwell is the mastermind behind Love, Connie — a multi-media dance comedy thriller unlike any stage performance you’re likely to experience. In the show, Connie, a scantily clad, high-kicking dame to be reckoned with, dances her way through a series of Dario Argento-meets-John Waters-esque storylines set to a bright pop backdrop of The B-52s, The Pointer Sisters, and Debbie Harry."--Venice
Description
Love, Connie is a multi-media dance comedy thriller starring John Cantwell (Legally Blonde, Nick & Norah, Will & Grace) as “Connie Slocum,” and features Jennifer Dohn as “Vickie,” with a special guest appearance by actor/singer Kelly Mantle (LOGO’s DragTastic NYC, New Adventures of Old Christine, The Confusion of My Illusion, and the band, Tranzkuntinental) as “Bambi”.
Connie Slocum (a sketch character Cantwell originated with legendary comedy trio The Nellie Olesons) is a loveable, albeit hirsute, ramshackle flashdancer who wants nothing more than to entertain an audience with her wild choreography and pageantry skills. But a nemesis from Connie’s past threatens to derail her plans by putting her beloved pussy cat, Vickie, in jeopardy. Watch Connie as she boogies to pop hits; strips off an array of spectacular outfits; Laughs, cries, hunts and fights harder than a baby sitter in a ‘70’s-era slasher film! All while never forgetting that there’s an audience to entertain and a cat she loves more than life itself!
The filmed portions of Love, Connie were directed by Michael Bodie (Sundance Institute), produced by Loretta Ramos (How Do I Say This: I’m Gay), executive produced by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Heroes, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me) and inspired by the work of Brian DePalma & Dario Argento as well as the film soundtracks of Pino Donaggio, Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone.
