Ithaca College Theatre Arts proudly presents “Head Over Heels.” “Head Over Heels” is a heartwarming comedy written by Jeff Whitty and James Magruder, told through show stopping music by the Go-Go’s, including fan favorites such as “We Got the Beat” and “Heaven is a Place on Earth.”  

Loosely based upon Philip Sidney’s “The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia,” this jukebox musical follows the royal court of Arcadia on their journey to save their kingdom from peril and escape seemingly unavoidable prophecies. Join us for an exciting adventure where you will meet unlikely lovers, a toppled kingship and listen to some of the greatest musical hits of the late 20th century.
