Broadway Bears Concert: Stage Fright 2: The Shriekquel
The Broadway Bears are back!
Get ready for a night of spooky, darkly funny, and villainous live performances with Portland’s Furriest Singers, as the BROADWAY BEARS, debut their new concert at the Funhouse Lounge on October 28, 2018, 7:00 pm!
Titled “STAGE FRIGHT 2: THE SHRIEKQUEL,” the BROADWAY BEARS will perform villain and horror-themed songs from the musical realm of stage and screen, from comedy to drama to dangerous, in their trademark entertaining way… complete with furry faces! And this time, they’ve got some special friends from Portland’s performing elite to get down with!
The BROADWAY BEARS, “Portland’s Furriest Singers,” are Andy Mangels, Darin MacLeod, Donnie Vecchione, and M. Stephen Bradley. For this special concert, special guests from Portland’s performing elite include burlesque queen Zora Phoenix, jazz diva Karen Maria Capo, musical theater superstar Deanna Maio, and bearded balladeers Bobby Jackson and Michael Chavez!
With all live singing in solos, duet, trio, and group numbers, the “STAGE FRIGHT 2: THE SHRIEKQUEL” concert will be a spooky performance that will leave you thrilled and chilled, and laughing and screaming. The two acts feature over 20 songs and medleys from stage productions and films such as Little Shop Of Horrors, The Addams Family, Les Miserables, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Hocus Pocus, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sweeney Todd, Wonderland, Hairspray, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Rocky Horror Show, Hamilton, Into The Woods, The Wiz, Heathers, Oliver!, Reefer Madness, Wicked, Disneyland, and many more!
The over-21 concert will be at Funhouse Lounge, on October 28, 2018, with doors at 6:30pm, show from 7-9pm. Tickets are $10 in advance from brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door ($10 for seniors or students), with special reserved booth tickets also available. The first STAGE FRIGHT concert was in 2014, and this “Shriekquel” promises to surpass the recent sold out standing-room-only concert that the Broadway Bears performed at the Funhouse.
The members of the BROADWAY BEARS have decades of stage experience encompassing theatrical, choral, opera, television, film, and teaching arenas. BROADWAY BEARS was co-founded in mid-2011 by Andy Mangels, and the group has performed charitable concerts and at local events in 2012-2018, including a popular and bravura opening concert at the 20th anniversary of Peacock in the Park at Washington Park Amphitheatre.
