DW and I HAVE to go now!!
It must take a lot of work to get a production done. Loved the videos!!
They're generally in LA county...Santa Monica and Burbank I believe are the cities planned for with this summer's show. They usually do a summer show and a winter show. When they're in Santa Monica I often help with the box office so I see the show a lot, well except the first 10 min or so. I keep hoping they'll find a good OC place again, they've had issues with most of the venues here.

Well, as a suggestion...we have gone to several plays in Solvang!! They have a really nice stage (outdoor!)
(Plus they have some REALLY good fudge shops, and other eateries that are worth the trip!)

OoohOhhh, I have an idea for a screenplay....
A couple of grumpy pirates escape from their mundane jobs in San Diego to enjoy a vacation in the Solvang area, hitting the fudge shops and eateries and enjoying the local entertainment....
Oh wait....that was just like Sideways, except for the Fudge......
HeHeHe, I was BORN near Solvang, I love it too! :)

Yeah, but those of us that "found" Solvang and enjoyed it before the movie came out were not that pleased that they caused an influx of..oh no..SG's!!!
We always stay at the Peterson Inn, and start at one end and walk down the street, hitting up all the shops, plus deciding which candy store to stop at for that day, not to mention the Baked goods!! (funny, I always seem to gain weight!) Thats why we used to couple it with a few days at DLR, to walk off the food!!!
Did you go to that Web site Lady Ulrike mentioned? They have some great stuff, especially for those of us that listened to the 60, 70, and 80's music!

& buy me 3 or 4 pairs of Berkinstocks in sand, dark brown, & blue Plz. 486 1st St # B - very cool shop. The Arizona & Franciscan will be just fine!! Thank you Grumpy Pirate. :) Don't forget the marzipan. 4 doz will be good. Yummy!! Have you ever stopped at Nojoqui Park on the way to Solvang? Beautiful, shady, fantastic lush green hills, great hiking trails with huge boulders all over. Nojoqui is interesting but a bit spooky. We couldn't stay all night.
Stop before Solvang @ Anderson's. Steaming split pea soup!! Double, Double Yum!! Then cross 101 & on to get your fudge.
