The vocal octet Boundless brings Broadway to Bonners Ferry's own Pearl Theater May 9-10, and May 16, 17.

Love Makes the World Go Round is an original Broadway revue featuring the beloved music of George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Stephen Schwartz.

Saturday shows (May 9 and 16) begin at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday matinees (May 10 and 17) begin at 3:00 p.m. The Pearl Cafe will open one hour before curtain time. Tickets are $12 for adults, $30 for a family, and $6 for students, under age 5 is free. Tickets are available at Bonners Books, Mountain Mike's Nutrition, and Black Bear Books in Creston.

The show is directed by Victoria Blake Thompson, and accompanied by Barb Nelson. Singers include: Chloe Cavender, DJ Cruttenden, Skye Palmer, Jim Thompson, Rhea Verbanic and Victoria Blake Thompson from Bonners Ferry, Sam Richardson from Sandpoint, and Elvin Strand from Creston, British Columbia.

Love Makes the World Go Round is a look at love from the perspective of these Broadway greats. The opening section features Stephen Schwartz music from Broadway productions Pippin, Godspell, Wicked, and more. It focuses on love in its many non-romantic forms. The middle section, featuring the Gershwin tunes from shows like My One and Only, Funny Face, and Girl Crazy, is all about romantic love. The closing section, features Rodgers and Hammerstein music on love from Oklahoma, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and more.

The vocals are accompanied by projected visuals about the composers, the shows, the music, and the theme. This show makes a wonderful present for Mom, whether just before, after, or on Mother's Day, May 10. Savory and sweet treats will be available at the Pearl Cafe to make this a very special event celebrating love in all its forms.
