Geordie Theatre presents Beethoven Lives Upstairs

 

The arrival of an eccentric boarder turns a young boy’s life upside down: Ludwig van Beethoven has moved upstairs!

At first young Christoph resents the new tenant but slowly comes to understand the genius of the man, the torment of his deafness and the beauty of his music. A heartfelt and mesmerizing tribute for all ages, Beethoven Lives Upstairs introduces audiences to some of the composer’s most memorable works.

To cap off its 35th anniversary season and to celebrate Dean Patrick Fleming’s contribution to the company with his last offering as Artistic Director, Geordie is thrilled to bring back its theatrical adaptation of the award-winning Classical Kids’ story of the same title. Come revisit it or experience it as a family for the first time between April 29 and May 8, 2016. Adapted for the stage and directed by Fleming, it will star the original cast: Lucinda Davis, Quincy Armorer, Leni Parker, Eric Hausknost and Alex McCooeye. Designed by Amy Keith (Costumes), James Lavoie (Set), Thomas Godefroid (Lighting) and Peter Cerone (Sound).

“We have haute cuisine and haute couture. Now we have haute Geordie.” – Kathryn Greenaway (The Gazette)
