Ski Bum musical comes to Capitol Theatre in Feburary
By Contributor
It doesn’t matter if you’re a musical buff, ski bum, ski buff, or musical bum, ‘Ski Bum: The Musical’ is a fast-paced, shredding good time for the whole family.
Iron Mountain Theatre (I.M.T.) is proud to present the return of their smash hit: ‘Ski Bum: The Musical’ on Thursday, February 9 at 8 p.m. in Nelson’s Capitol Theatre.
For those of who missed out last year, the Revelstoke Times wrote, “Ski Bum is an epic 30-footer of powder-heaven with style.”
I.M.T. (the company who brought you, ‘White Star Lady’, and ‘Company jump’) is Rossland’s own professional theatre company.
‘Ski Bum: The Musical’ tells the story of one ski bum nearly cresting over the hill, with all of his youthful energy intact…and that’s the problem.
Jeff Snowden needs to grow up a little, and act more responsibly if he wants things to go his way in adulthood.
When an old flame at Big Snow Peak sparks a renewed interest in Jeff’s heart, he starts to consider the benefits of gaining a level of maturity.
With the help of cultural anthropologist , played by new cast member Grant Waters, studying the culture and practices of ski-bummery, and a sometimes-not-so-nice head of ski patrol, he begins to see that he doesn’t have to give up skiing and having fun in order to evolve.
Ski Bum, sponsored by The Nelson & District Credit Union and Teck, is jammed packed with hummable tunes that span a wide range of genres, jokes that run the gamut of humour from slapstick to high comedy, and eleven inspired musical performances.
The innuendo alone is enough to tickle even the most chafed of funny-bones.
Don’t forget to take the ‘Ski Bums’ home with you! The cast has been hard at work on the release of their original soundtrack recording which will be available for purchase at the show.
Tickets — $17 for adults or $12 for students/seniors — are available at The Capitol Theatre box office or by calling 250-352-6363.
