Joanna Ampil, Daisy Eagan, Cady Huffman, Adam Pascal and Robert Torti will star in a presentation of The Real Love: A New Musical at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday, August 27 at 2pm. Chris Shelton will direct.
In the musical, the poetry of Supreme Master Ching Hai is set to music by Bill Conti, Al Kasha, Doug Katsaros, Don Pippin, and David Shire. The show is inspired by a true story about a woman who is deeply in love with her equally tender husband, a doctor. But as their happy marriage blossoms, a calling propels her to make a heartrending decision – remain with her beloved or sacrifice everything in search of happiness for all humanity.
Special guest stars will include Betty Buckley, Laurie Cadevida, Filippa Giordano, Marty Ingels, Shirley Jones, Trent Kowalik, Kiril Kulish, Faith Rivera, Tom Schmid, and Lynne Wintersteller. Guest speakers for the afternoon will include Grant Aleksander, Ed Begley Jr., and Cloris Leachman.
The two-part show will also include a set by Don McLean and his band presenting some of his all-time classic hits, such as “And I Love You So,” American Pie”, “Vincent (Starry, Starry Night).”
