Description:

     If you are looking for a fun whimsical show about pasta, you've certainly come to the right place! Take the audience on ride through the sights and sounds of a classic italian restaurant. Musically this show features a mostly public domain list of classical italian greats, with a built in electronic soundscape that will instantly transport you.

     So many set design options, so little time :) Rollng tables with red and white checkered table clothes, large vinyl tarp of a big pile of spaghetti, ropes or pool noodles to create the 3D spaghetti noodles, large excercise balls painted like meatballs and one giant sized inflatable meatball to take the ending over the top! The color guard can play the role of the chefs while backdrops can set the stage for the inside of the restaurant.

     This show features our arrangements of On Top of Old Smokey, 'O Sole Mio, Funiculì, Funiculà, Tarantella Napoletana, Turandot, Act III: "Nessun dorma!",  That's Amore and Rigoletto and Act III: "La donna è mobile." Mvt 1 features a Flute and Trumpet soloist, mvt 2 could have a real accordian or be covered in the synths with mvt 3 featuring a trombone and tuba duet and a soprano sax soloist!

     This show was written by Darren Loney, John Mapes & Trent Gronewold. It was originally commissioned for Gahr HS in the fall of 2023 and was released for the 2024 season.
