DAYDREAMING: CHANNELING DORIS DAY

At Mattison Park Martini Lounge and Restaurant at 649 Mattison Avenue in Asbury Park

Asbury Park, NJ – Asbury Park is flashing back to the “50’s” when Doris Day was one of the biggest names in show business. Kitch is alive and well and has never been so much fun than at the Mattison Park Martini Lounge and Restaurant for the east coast premiere of this intimate new musical, DayDreaming: Channeling Doris Day directed by Broadway’s Dennis Bailey. Fittingly, the performance will be on New Jersey’s GAY PRIDE DAY in Asbury Park on Sunday, June 1st, at 5:00 pm and stars Broadway actress Kathy Morath and Christopher Stephens.

Tickets are available online now at www.ReVisionTheatre.org or by calling 732-455-3059. All tickets are $10.00. Seating is limited.

DayDreaming chronicles the soul-searching of a successful businesswoman at the crossroads of a particularly quirky midlife crisis. Much to her chagrin and consternation, she finds she has to channel Doris Day to get through the day. In a session with her psychiatrist, she realizes she has somehow subconsciously patterned her life after the pert actress/singer. The show is a rollicking musical journey through a roadmap of songs made popular by Doris Day. The musical features many Doris Day songs including Daydreaming, I'll Never Stop Loving You, I Gotta Sing Away These Blues, Someone Like You, Away The Wind Blows, Secret Love, and the Oscar winning song Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be).
Kathy Morath has worked as an actress On and Off Broadway and in regional theatre. She made her Broadway Debut in The Pirates of Penzance and also performed in Nick & Nora and A Change in the Heir. Christopher Stephens has directed and played piano for many shows including Burly-Q (Amas), Shout! the mod musical (off-Broadway; recording on Rhino Records), Screams of Kitty Genovese (NY Musical Theatre Festival), and Captain Louie (off-Broadway). Dennis Bailey performed on Broadway in the The Marriage of Figaro and The Leader of the Pack. He is the co-author (with David Mixner) of the recent #1 Los Angeles Times best selling non-fiction book Brave Journeys, as well as the author (with Stuart Stone) of the industry manual Acting Out: A Guide For The Commercial Actor.
