Pete 'n' Keely opens this Friday at Kalliope Stage. Kathryn Kendall stars as Keely Stevens and Christopher Vettel as Pete Bartell in this star-turn Cleveland premier. Join us in the NBC 1968 Television Studio as Pete 'n' Keely are reunited on a live television special. Each night, one lucky audience member will be named the new Swell Shampoo Queen (they put the ooooooh in shampoo,) and everyone will delight in favorite tunes like: Black Coffee, Lover, Besame Mucho, and Fever. Sparks fly, but will America's ex-sweethearts end up back in each others' arms or just backstabbing? Don't miss an all-star cast in this wildly funny new musical. Pete 'n' Keely opens this Friday, July 9, and runs through August 8. We're looking forward to your visit!

Kathryn Kendall* is delighted to be a part of the Kalliope Stage inaugural season, and to reconnect with Paul Gurgol with whom she attended the Boston Conservatory of Music. Ms. Kendall was featured in the ill-fated Broadway musical, Paper Moon with Gregory Harrison, as Hildy, Mazeppa, Mr. Monotony Singer in Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, as Mitzi in the Off-Broadway revival of Fiorello, Merman in Merman: Who Could Ask For Anything More?, and as a soloist with the Lyrics and Lyricists Series. She comes to Kalliope Stage directly from the National Tour of 42nd Street in which she appeared as both Dorothy Brock and Maggie Jones. Other tours include Showboat (Ellie) with Eddie Bracken, 42nd Street (Anytime Annie) with Jerry Orbach and Tammy Grimes, Kiss Me Kate (Bianca) and Shenandoah (Jenny), both with John Raitt, Oklahoma (Ado Annie), and Forbidden Hollywood. Extensive regional credits include the highly acclaimed Barrington Stage production of Mack and Mabel (Lottie) supervised by Jerry
 Herman. Television credits include The Edge of Night, and Loving. An accomplished choreographer, her credits include National Tours of Gigi with Louis Jourdan, Anything Goes, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Singin’ in the Rain, and the world premier of Ziegeld: A Night At The Follies. Ms. Kendall is a greaduate of the Boston Conservatory and is so pleased to be working at Kalliope with Mr. Gurgol.

Christopher Vettel* is at home on the musical theatre, operatic, and concert stages. Chris is happy to be making his Cleveland debut as one of “America’s Swingin’ Sweethearts”. He has appeared in both the US National Tour and Frankfurt productions (Joe Gillis) of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard. Overseas he was seen in the European tours of Cabaret (Cliff Bradshaw) and The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Back home, his regional credits include: West Virginia Public Theatre (Camelot-Lancelot), Westchester Broadway Theatre (Phantom-Phillipe), Walnut St. Theatre (Love Life-Leffcourt/Quartet), Fireside Playhouse (Titanic-Andrews), Barrington Stage Co. (A Little Night Music-Carl Magnus), and Papermill Playhouse (Jekyll & Hyde-Rowdy/Hyde Cover), to name a few. As soloist Chris has sung with the Opera Company of Boston, Encompass New Opera Theatre, Opera New England, Utica Symphony and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the final concert conducted by Leonard Bernstein. Love to Beth, (his
 own swingin’ sweetheart).
