Bjorn Again

Everyone was ABBA crazy at the BCPA on Saturday night. Bjorn Again was a hoot. They sounded ABBAsolutely fantastic. And as our Marketing Associate (and resident ABBA expert) David said, it was surprising just how much material they covered. The night wasn't just about the hits. Some of the biggest surprises were songs like "Ring Ring," and "Honey Honey" ... not to mention true "cover" songs like KISS's "I Want to Rock 'n' Roll All Night."



That said, "Take a Chance on Me" and "Mama Mia" definitely brought down the house!

What a fun show! Were you there? Tell us what you think by using the Comments section below.

Nunsense, featuring Sally Sturthers

The crowds came out in droves post-election for a fun-filled night of musical theater when Nunsense rolled into the BCPA on November 7. As Dan Craft's Pantagraph article confirmed, Nunsense is a show that owes a lot to the Twin cities, as much of the show's funding came from families in the area. Two of those sponsors were Irv and Jobie Tick, who sponsored the BCPA show along with Morris Tick Recycling Center. Read the earlier post (and comment by Jay Cardwell) to this blog here for more background ...

One thing is certain, Nunsense was the perfect show at the right moment. I mentioned the election before, and it's no coincidence that ticket sales for the show went through the roof beginning on Wednesday, November 5, when people stopped watching cable news and went out looking for something light and fun to celebrate THAT IT WAS ALL OVER.

I hope you all had fun!

Paul Rodriguez

Comedy legend Paul Rodriguez took the BCPA stage on November 1 for a hilarious night of comedy that confirmed why he's one of the true legends of American comedy. The BCPA was also pleased to welcome area Hispanics for a mixer in the ballroom prior to the concert.
