Head Over Heels is the bold new musical comedy from James Magruder and Jeff Whitty—the visionaries that rocked Broadway with Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Avenue Q and Spring Awakening.This laugh-out-loud love story is inspired by a 16th century pastoral poem by Sir Philip Sidney titled, Arcadia, and set to the music of the 1980’s all-female rock band the Go-Go’s, including their iconic songs, “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and “Vacation,” as well as Belinda Carlisle’s solo hits, “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” A hilarious, exuberant celebration of love, Head Over Heels 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 each of their own hearts.
