Thinking Thursday - Zenobia the musical

See Les Miserables 6 DAYS EARLY!!

December 19th @ 6:30 & 7pm

Upper tix are $16

Lowers range from $5-$12

Zenobia’s story has been turned into movies, plays, and musicals all over the country and of course everyone has a different take on her life. In the book series by Russ Wallace, I like his point of view on what motivated a young girl to take on so much. Someday you'll be able to watch the film adaptation of the novel on the big screen. Until then, we'll have to be happy with the advertisement on December 13th at the Gilbert, AZ San Tan Village Harkins prescreening of the Hobbit. Also, Les Miserables which will be released on Dec 25th. For a special prescreening you can watch it on Dec 19th. The proceeds go to a family in need. Not only do you get to see a great movie early but you'll be helping a family for Christmas. Email prescreensby2huns@yahoo.com to get your tickets before they sell out. They still have Hobbit tickets available for the December 13th showing. These movies are a perfect early gift, date night with someone special, or a company holiday party. 

A beautiful actress/singer Carol Samaha played Zenobia in the musical in 2007. I didn’t get to see the musical live but was able to watch some YouTube performances and think she nailed the part of Zenobia. The music sounded wonderful and Carol Samaha has a gorgeous voice. Who cares that I didn’t understand a word she said.

 Here is a video montage of the Zenobia production.

“The musical 'Zenobia' played in Lebanon, after enjoying a great success in Dubai. It's a story about the last Queen of Palmyra who, in the third century, challenged the Roman Empire.” (Report: Lynn Tehini http://www.france24.com/en/)

Coming in the summer of 2013 is another Zenobia musical playing in Chicagoland. Here’s a sneak peak -
