CDC Theatre in Cranford opens their 105th season with Head Over Heels. This bold musical comedy comes from the visionaries that rocked Broadway with Avenue Q and Spring Awakening.

Head Over Heels is an hilarious, exuberant celebration of love; the story of what happens when the royal court of Arcadia is threatened by the mystical Oracle of Delphi with the loss of its “Beat,” the divine power that ensures the kingdom’s prosperity. King Basilius, whose own title is at stake, forces the members of the royal family and court on a journey to the woods in an attempt to escape the Oracle’s seemingly unavoidable prophecies. Through a plot containing usurped kingship, unlikely lovers, and gender-fluid disguises, Head Over Heels preaches unconditional love and acceptance of yourself and everyone you know and uses some of the greatest pop rock hits of the late 20th century.
