Here are some details on the musical this weekend, in case anyone wants to check out the auditorium:
Clintonville High School
The CHS production of "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do" will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday in the CHS auditorium. Tickets are $7 adults and $5 students.
The story centers on best friends Lois Warner and Marge Gelman, who have come to the Catskills after Marge was left at the altar. They stay at the somewhat rundown Esther's Paradise resort, determined to spend the Labor Day weekend enjoying what should have been Marge's honeymoon.
Lois encourages Marge to get over her former fiance by pushing her into a relationship with the resort's headlining singer and known womanizer, Del Delmanaco. The relatively simple storyline intertwines the shy resort handyman, Gabe Green, taking a romantic interest in Marge, who is too busy chasing after Del to notice him.
A comical cast of resort staff and a song for every situation rounds out the light-hearted production.
The show, written by Eric Jackson and Ben H. Winters, with music by Neil Sedaka and lyrics by Sedaka, Howard Greenfield and Cody Philip, is designed to showcase Sedaka's music.
Assisting Dennis and Kimberly Brei with the production are Peggy Johnson, with sets and props; Dan Schmidt, as technical director, producer and pit band director; Kathryn Murphy, with costuming; Tyler Klegin, as auditorium director; and Kieran Murphy, as student director.
