Join us in Arcadia where once upon a time is right now! HEAD OVER HEELS is a laugh-out-loud musical smashup using the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s to help retell a classical love story by 14th century British poet Sir Philip Sidney. The hilarious, exuberant celebration of love, follows the escapades of a royal family on an outrageous journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction—only to discover the key to their realm’s survival lies within their hearts as they belt out hit songs like “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “Vacation,” Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.”
