PRESS RELEASE - 'SOBE Wonderland - A Miami
Fantasy'
If
you love Miami, you will love this show.
‘Sobe Wonderland - a Miami Fantasy ’ is a new and original
comedy musical being premiered on Miami Beach in November by the South
Beach theatre company, Fourth Dimension.
‘Sobe
Wonderland’ is an extravaganza of feel good theater. Located in
the Kingdom of South Beach, ‘Sobe Wonderland’ is a celebration
of the amazing, cultural diversity that makes Miami Beach famous all
over the world.
'“Sobe
Wonderland’ is enthusiastically American, exotically South American,
elegantly European and inspiringly universal. A fractured fairy tale,
a story of our times and a love story with a twist -this original multicultural
production aims to entertain, educate and challenge.
Archetypal
Miami Beach characters are portrayed as glamorous, fashion conscious,
street smart and fun loving. But it is not all sun, sand and fabulousness.
As the city leads the modern movements in regeneration, urbanization
and preservation, the residents of Miami Beach are constantly being
forced to reassess their life styles and question the core values that
support work and family life in a tourist destination.
‘Sobe
Wonderland’ celebrates hedonism but also cautions ’Live
responsibly’. A theatrical event to delight all that live, work
and visit Miami Beach. An extravaganza of singing, dancing and laugh
out loud comedy.
This cross-cultural theatrical experience is achieved in part by developing
an original work from a universally known story. In this case Cinderella,
a story which is told in every known language and culture in the world.
There are over 600 known versions of the classic Cinderella story.
‘Sobe Wonderland- A Miami Fantasy ’ revels in a wicked stepmother,
Evil Lina, two warring sisters, Georgina and Jebastacia and poor put
upon Chicabella, who dreams of marrying a Prince while looking for love
in all the wrong places.
Evil Lina, makes Cruella deVille look sweet natured. A real estate Diva,
Evil Lina is determined by fair means or foul to marry her daughters
into royalty so she has access to lots of private banking funds for
her latest property speculation. This stepmother from hell, dreams of
turning her dingy old castle into a new, ultra luxurious, 50 story condo
tower on South Beach. Her majestic masterpiece will be called Plump
Towers and acclaimed Oklahoma artist William Dimensions has designed
a fairytale set in cotton candy colors as a backdrop to the action.
British actress Ellen Jameson disputes any resemblance to Evil Lina
but admits that as co - writer of ‘Sobe Wonderland’ she
did drawn on real people to make the character come to life. Cuban Writer/producer,
Hector Valdes developed the ‘Sobe Wonderland’ project over
a period of three years. He was inspired by the flamboyant, colorful
characters that make Miami Beach their home and was determined to dramatize
their stories on stage.
Playwrights Hector Valdes and Ellen Jameson produce a unique and powerful
blend of Cuban fire and British ice. A winning combination. The production
also benefits from the creative vision and expertise of highly respected
South Florida director, Kim St. Leon.
Chicabella, is brought to life by the gorgeous and fiery Latina actress,
Maria de Jesus Castellon, who is currently filming a drama comedy movie
called 9.04AM which will be released next Spring. Maria combines beauty
with brains and has just graduated from Fort Lauderdale College of Art
& Design as a graphic artist.
Sister Georgina takes as her role models, Barbie and Paris Hilton. She
is a fashionista who would kill for the latest designer handbag and
thinks working out means having a manicure and pedicure at the same
time.
Georgina is played by dynamic Josphine Fadith Bauza, a highly talented
singer, songwriter and model. Josephine was a South Florida finalist
on the hugely successful television talent show, American Idol. She
sings and performs live every weekday on the Spanish language evening
show, Channel 41, Calando-fuerte.
Second sister, Jebastacia is an eco warrior. She is passionate about
saving the planet, stopping global warming and finding new methods of
efficient waste management. She thinks world debt could be wiped out
if her sister had plastic surgery and cut up all her credit cards.
Character
actress Carol Reinoso plays Jebastacia. Carol has appeared with many
South Florida theatre companies and her brilliant comic timing ensures
that her character Jebastacia - as in Jeb and George – will have
audiences rocking with laughter.
The
Grand Disco Ball, is an all singing, all dancing extravaganza of fabulous
costumes and glittering set designs, staged and choreographed by new
arrival to Miami, Wisconsin Parker J. Cristan.
Parker’s
experience developing high energy entertainment showcases on international
cruise liners ensures that ‘Sobe Wonderland’ delivers audiences
a truly memorable musical experience. Parker also appears as the lead
character, Marcus, a magic mirror who sees all and revels in reflecting
back to others their all too obvious character defects. As he enjoys
saying, ‘a mirror never lies.’
‘Sobe
Wonderland’ cast and creative team is drawn from experienced Fourth
Dimension of South Beach company members plus exciting new local talent.
The
King of South Beach, King Dom Come, played by Actors Playhouse regular,
Larry Fields, is deluded into thinking he is the other King, Elvis Presley.
He is married to Her Royal Highness, the Queen of England, award winning
look-a-like, Judith Gindy.
Magic
and mayhem are conjured up by flame haired actress JoAnn Tiberio who
appears as a fairy God lawyer and with a wave of her magic pen tried
to ensure that everyone lives happily ever after.
Mindful
of the South Beach preoccupation with male as well as female beauty,
other cast members include Juan R. Caraccioli, an actor and male model
who hails from New Orleans and South American actor/model Stephan Joel
Pinto.
