Synopsis: HEAD OVER HEELS is the 2018 Broadway musical comedy from the visionaries that created Avenue Q, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Spring Awakening. This laugh-out loud love story is set to the music of the iconic 1980’s all-female rock band The Go-Go’s, including the hit songs, We Got the Beat, Our Lips Are Sealed, Vacation, Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven is a Place on Earth and Mad About You. A hilarious, exuberant celebration of love, HEAD OVER HEELS follows the escapades of a royal family on an outrageous journey to save their beloved kingdom from extinction—only to discover the key to their realm’s survival lies within each of their own hearts.
