“And Away We Go!” A New Musical

“And Away We Go” is a wildly funny new musical by Bert Bernardi and Justin Rugg. The story, set in the swinging 1960’s, follows a wanna-be singing duo (think Steve and Eydie) who make their way from New Jersey to Miami in hopes of meeting Jackie Gleason and landing a guest spot on his popular TV show. Upon arrival they become mixed up with an Italian “Nonna,” her family, a showgirl, mistaken identities and a murder. The cast includes Jimmy Johansmeyer, Shelley Marsh Poggio, Mary Mannix, Justin Rugg, Lu DeJesus, Rachelle Ianniello, Tracey Marble and Susan Kulp. Now in its twelfth season, Pantochino Productions is widely acclaimed for its innovative, original musical theatre offerings, Summer Theatre Camps, Classes, After School Drama programs and Teen Theatre. The multi Award winning company is recipient of two “Best of Milford” Awards, many Broadway World Connecticut Awards and the Cultural Contribution Award presented by the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce.
