Ogunquit Playhouse Re-Opens with Patio Cabaret Series OGUNQUIT The Summer lives on for Ogunquit Playhouse, as they re-open for a limited seating, COVID-safe, open air Playhouse Patio Cabaret featuring some of Broadway’s finest alumni vocal talents from their most popular shows including Jersey Boys, Million Dollar Quartet, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, Kinky Boots, and more! This 10-week series offers 50 patrons the opportunity to enjoy music they’ve come to know and love, in an idyllic setting, escaping the stress of today’s world, if only for an hour. Beginning August 7 and running through October 11, each week
will feature four performances (Friday at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday at 1 p.m.) from Broadway and veteran Playhouse performers, sharing music and memories in an intimate cabaret environ-
ment. Opening the Playhouse Patio Cabaret August 7-9 is Nat Zegree (Jerry Lee Lewis in 2015’s and 2016’s Million Dollar Quartet) whose energetic stylings from over, under, and behind
the piano have become legendary. August 14-16 welcomes back Eddie Clendening (Elvis in 2017’s Heartbreak Hotel, and the original Elvis in Broadway’s Million Dollar Quartet) and his passion for classic Rockabilly
music with a powerful tribute to The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The shows for August 21-23 and August 28-30 are currently sold out, featuring Jonathan Mousset Alonso (Frankie Valli in 2018’s and 2019’s Jersey Boys) and Kyle Taylor Parker (Lola in 2019’s Kinky Boots, the Off-Broadway transfer of Smokey Joe’s Cafe). The weekend of September 4-6 features Maine native Scott Moreau (Johnny Cash in 2015’s and 2016’s Million Dollar Quartet) with an evening of music honoring the legendary Man in Black. September 11-13 celebrates the return of Carter Calvert See PATIO page 12...
