MORE ABOUT THE CAST & THE STORY:
Lead by the dynamic Female DUO: CO-DIRECTORS / CO-STARS & Broadway Veterans MAUREEN DAVIS & KACEE CLANTON weave a web of the wild, weird and wonderful with this ALL original new Rockabilly Comedy Musical!
Davis -- lead singer of M&M5 aka "Maureen & the Mercury 5", The Flutterbies and the original
"Sleeping Beauty" in Stephen Sondheims Broadway production of "Into the Woods” opposite Bernadette Peters, wrote all the music.
Clanton's credits include starring on Broadway and National Tours as the lead title role in "A Night with Janis Joplin" , international rock tours with Joe Cocker, Luis Miguel, in addition to being lead singer of Big Brother & the Holding Company. Davis and Clanton originally met in New York but re-met after many years singing at the famous Ultimate Jam Night @ The Whisky in Los Angeles, CA.
While Ann Hodges of Sylacauga, Alabama is not the main focus of this new high energy musical, the meteorite that hit her IS. The show follows hard-touring retro-Rockabilly band, MAUREEN & THE MERCURY 5, performing at a kitschy, Alabama Drive-Inn Diner (off-season). When Maureen plugs in her vintage Elvis mic, she triggers otherworldly powers from the famous “moon rock”, sending the band, their manager and even the diner owner back to the first days of Rock & Roll!
The reluctant time-travelers find love and learn life lessons as they struggle to get back to present day!
Set to the music of Rockabilly Jump Swing Band Maureen & the Mercury 5 (aka M&M5) and Alt-Country Outlaws The Flutterbies (Soundtrack available on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/ 2Ecgu4L ).
WRITERS MAUREEN DAVIS and DAVE RODGERS (WGA), blend the silly and the sweet with song & dance, evoking the ridiculous charm of The Monkees and the retro romance of Elvis movies.
How did this show begin?!
Once upon a time at the famous Swinger’s Diner two friends decided to write a musical. Friend #1 was a Rockabilly / Country singer who wanted a through-line for her life’s work so far. Friend #2 was a professional scriptwriter and clever fellow who said “Maybe a life story of a lady rock star? Let’s Google Women, Rock, 1954 and see what we come up with." The resulting search revealed: The True Story of History's Only Known Meteorite Victim: Ann Hodges. (It's actual real History, Google it! It's Fascinating!) And so began “A FALLING STAR AT BUZZARD'S ROOST” — a tale of a microphone, a meteor and a love that transcends time.
WHERE: The show will premiere at the McCadden Place Theatre
in the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June!
