The Last 5 Years
No comment
Last winter, Christy appeared in the Jason Robert Brown musical, “The Last 5 Years”. This two-person musical follows the falling in and out of love of a young couple from two very different perspectives. Cathy Hiatt, a struggling actress, begins the show in the present with the end of their marriage and works backward through time to their first date at the end of the show. Jamie Wellerstein, a successful author, begins the show at the end of their first date and works his way linearly to their present-day breakup at the end of the show. They meet once in the middle for their only duet, which happens to be their wedding. Christy played opposite Eli Newsom(www.elinewsom.com), who also played her Bat Boy! The show ran January 5-14 at the Off-Market Theater on 6th & Mission in downtown San Francisco.

Holes
No comment
Christy was so thrilled to participate in the West Coast premiere of Louis Sachar’s “Holes”, based on his Newberry Award winning novel. The show ran for 21 performances at San Francisco’s gorgeous Orpheum Theatre for two weeks. She played Kissin’ Kate Barlow, the sweet school teacher turned scorned outlaw. Mr. Sachar worked very closely to the production, and Christy got the chance to speak to him about Kate, whom she later discovered is his favorite character!

Bat Boy: The Musical!
No comment
A few days after “Holes” closed, Christy began work on one of the funniest shows ever written, “Bat Boy: The Musical!”. She played Shelley Parker, a rambunctious teen from Hope Falls, West Virginia, who falls in love with a half-man, half-bat. The small town folk have no idea what to do with a bat boy until the Parker family turn him into a civilized young lad. Sound insane? Based on the Weekly World News creation, this funny and uplifting story played at San Francisco’s oldest theater, the Victoria, for two wonderful weeks, and was named “one of top ten theatre events of the year” by the San Francisco Guardian.
