Join Us (And Sing): Meet Ensemble member Allison Andrews from THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS


Everything seemed normal in the city of Hatchetfield. Until...people began singing...and dancing. Just like that, a musical pandemic is sweeping the entire city. Now, it’s up to an average guy (who doesn’t like musicals) and his friends to save humanity from a musical apocalypse.


You'll laugh! You'll scream! You'll never look at musicals the same way again! From Starkid Productions comes the hit musical horror-comedy, THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS, now playing in the Jeffers Theatre at HCT, September 12th through September 14th.


From Ragtime to royalty, back on the Pamela Livingstone Stage is out-of-this-world Ensemble member Allison Andrews.


A drama teacher at Bandy's High School, Andrews holds a BA in Theatre Education from Catawba College. Andrews made her Hickory Community Theatre debut as the Fairy Godmother in 2014's SHREK. She has also appeared in JUNK (for which she won a 2017 Outstanding Actress Award from the Southeastern Theatre Conference), RAGTIME (for which she won a 2018 Kay Award for Outstanding Lead Actress), LEGALLY BLONDE, THE PIRATE QUEEN, THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, and ANASTASIA. She has also directed or co-directed RIDE THE CYCLONE, DISNEY'S THE LION KING JR., THE JUNGLE FUN ROOM, and BUGSY MALONE for HCT.


Andrews is also active at The Green Room Community Theatre, where she has been involved in productions of SWEENEY TODD, CRIMES OF THE HEART, MARY POPPINS, THE LITTLE MERMAID, and MAMMA MIA.


Andrews is excited to be back on the stage at HCT, and is grateful to all of the support and joy given to her by her castmates, students and friends.


Performances of THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 12th through 14th at 7:30PM. Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for youth and students.


Tickets are available online at hickorytheatre.org, or by phone at 828-328-2283. The theatre box office is open from 12-5 PM Wednesday through Friday, or one half-hour before a performance.


THE GUY WHO DIDN'T LIKE MUSICALS is rated PG-13 for adult language and cartoonish violence.


The Hickory Community Theatre’s 76th season is sponsored by Protection Products, Inc. and LifeRootz. HCT is a Funded Affiliate of Arts Culture Catawba and receives additional support from the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
