On Friday, May 23,
Westcoast Actors launch
their final production of the
1979/80 season with ‘Eight
to the Bar’ - the smash hit
musical-comedy that has
sold out in every theatre it
has played.

Written by the Canadian
team, author Stephen Witkin
and composer Joey Miller,
‘Eight to the Bar’ combines
snappy one-liners - an up-
tempo score - a crazy New
Year’s Eve predicament with
four outlandish personalities
- to create a musical-comedy
guaranteed to delight!

‘Eight to the Bar’ has sold
out in Charlottetown,
Calgary, Lennoxville and in
Toronto the show is suill
wowing them after four
months!

‘Eight to the Bar’ stars four
Vancouver favourites:
Charlene Brandolini - one of
the country’s sparkling
gems, who was last seen in
Stage 33’s ‘Oh Coward!’ and
who plays Shelly, the sharp-
witted New York Jewish
princess; Robert Carey,
well-known for his many
appearances on Vancouver
and Victona stages, plays
Marshall, the happy,
contented depressive;
Heather Smith-Harper, with
a strong background in
musical theatre, TV and
film, plays Honey, the
movie-crazy romantic; and
Bob Sibson, a_ talented
actor/singer whose credits
include CBC TY specials and
