The Long Awaited Hawaii Premiere of the Award-Winning Musical Revue
Un-fasten your safety belts and Prepare for Takeoff!
Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly, created by Howard Crabtree and Mark Waldrop, with music by the late Dick Gallagher, is the delightful and heartwarming musical that introduces us to a character named, not unlike Mr. Crabtree, Howard. All his life, Howard has had fabulously sequined Broadway dreams of becoming a performer and designer. This is his big break!
Howard struggles to put on a lavish musical revue over numerous obstacles, including the near mutiny of his cast, and the nagging memory of his high school guidance counselor, Miss Roundhole, who told him he'd realize his dream "when pigs fly."
Just when it seems all is lost, Howard realizes the problem isn't that he's gone too far -- it's that he hasn't gone far enough.
Directed and choreographed by multi-award-winner Miles Phillips, and featuring amazing costumes by veteran Broadway designer James Corry. The beloved OBIE, Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel, and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning musical revue will make its long-awaited flight across the Pacific — landing on the stage at Paliku Theatre!
There couldn’t be a more perfect way to celebrate creativity, song & dance, and the human spirit in the face of such troubled times. As one of the show’s wonderful songs says…
“Keep your humor, please — ‘cause don’t you know it’s times like these that Laughing Matters most of all!”
