A Selection of Past Projects
The Cher Show, Ogunquit Playhouse
Following Colorado, McBee once again found herself in Maine for the regional premier of The Cher Show. What a beast of a magical production. A beautiful company onstage and offstage brought this hit to audiences eight shows a week. There is nothing better than a compassionate and empathetic company who have such great respect for one another. Directed by Gerry McIntyre, Choreography by Jane Lanier, Music Direction by Kristin Stowell, Set Design by Andy Walmsley, Lighting Design by Richard Latta, Costume Design by Bob Mackie, Wig Design by Roxanne De Luna, Sound Design by Kevin Heard, Projection Design by John Marun. And a phenomenal cast led by Sara Gettelfinger as Star, Charissa Hogeland as Lady, and Madeline Hudson as Babe. David Engel (Bob Mackie/ Robert Altman/ Frank), Matthew Hydzik (Gregg Allman / John Southall), Dino Nicandros (Sonny Bono), Angie Schworer (Georgia Holt / Lucille Ball), Sara Andreas (Ensemble/ Dance Captain). And a strong ensemble with stellar swings!
Kinky Boots, Arvada Center
February of 2022 brought McBee to the Arvada Center in Denver, CO for a production of Kinky Boots. A large cast, wonderful crew, and the best ASM made for a great production. Amongst the first to bring this heartwarming story to regional theatre. Directed by Rod Lansberry, Choreography by Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck, Music Direction by Christopher D. Littlefield. With a weekend of emergency sub conducting by Angela Steiner. Costume Design by Nicole Watts, Wig & Makeup Design by Diana Ben-Kiki, Sound Design by Max Silverman, Lighting Design by Kate Bashore, and Scenic Design by Brian Mallgrave.
The Alchemist, and other adventures @ New World Stages
Back home in NYC, McBee PSM'd a new comedy with Red Bull, The Alchemist. With a stellar cast, a magical set, and fun fight choreography, an entertaining time was had eight shows a week at New World Stages. Unfortunately, the Omicron surge shut us down early.
McBee was pulled as a universal crew swing at Jersey Boys and at A Sherlock Carol. Doing all we could to keep the shows open, McBee was quickly trained on many crew tracks from props, carpentry, to audio, automation, and lighting.

Halle Bolingbroke is going to be the next captain of the New London Lady Leopard Varsity Cheer Squad, whether she likes it or not. After all, her mom, Doretha, is the former captain and current coach.

And cheerleading itself. Inspired by Henry IV, Part 1 and the true story of the Texas-cheerleader-murdering mom.

The summer and fall kept me quite busy with new musicals and revivals, and remounts. A beautiful new musical, ValueVille came to life in NYC this summer. Followed by a wonderful revival of Ain't Misbehavin' directed by Hunter Foster, and choreographed by Lorin Latarro. I can think of no better way to spend my October, than with a brilliant remount of The Rocky Horror Show at Bucks County Playhouse.
Following those musicals, I donated my time to be part of the Stage Management team for The Actors Fund benefit concert of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. And I rang in the new year working in Times Square for the broadcast of NYE. It was cold, a lot of work, but great fun! The theme of the night was "Judgment free". So, Happy Judgment Free 2015!

I have been subbing as the Audio Engineer on Murder For Two. Go see it before it closes! Perhaps you'll catch me at the board.
I spent the winter Production Stage Managing the New York premier of a wonderful new play by Carla Ching, called Fast Company. It's been awhile since I've worked on a play, and it was a very smartly written, fast-paced, suspenseful, comedy that was delicious to work on. Directed by Robert Ross Parker and featuring Stephanie Hsu, Mia Katigbak, Christopher Larkin and Moses Villarama.
Had so much fun, I'm heading back to Bucks County Playhouse. This time for a little Rocky Horror!

SILENCE! The Musical
Mixing this hilarious parody!
SILENCE! The Musical is a hilarious parody based on the Academy Award winning film. Rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling matches wits with the brilliant but insane cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter in order to catch the serial killer known as Buffalo Bill. Clarice faces her own demons while racing the clock to unlock Lecter’s clues before another innocent girl is killed and skinned by Buffalo Bill. This laugh-out-loud naughty satire features a singing chorus of floppy eared lambs narrating the action as Buffalo Bill gleefully dances a hoedown while kidnapping hapless Catherine Martin. Even Dr. Lecter, scary as ever, sings about the life he’d like to lead someday outside the prison walls.
Fueled by a rabid cult following since the songs debuted online in 2002, SILENCE! was expanded into a live stage show and shattered every box-office record at the 2005 FringeNYC Festival. Winner of the NYCFringe's Best Musical Award, SILENCE! The Musical combines whip-smart dialogue and shocking songs to make a musical parody of The Silence of the Lambs that's sure to be popular with seasoned fans of the movie and FBI rookies alike.

Broadway Donations Brigade
The Broadway community comes together for something greater than their latest show… Fellow Americans in need!
Broadway Donations Brigade began when Rebecca McBee, audio engineer & stage manager, was sitting at home feeling helpless in the days following Superstorm Sandy. Utilizing the knowledge of our industry, and reaching out to fellow stage managers Kat West and Mary Leach we began our journey, knocking on stage doors. AEA & Local 1 members were thrilled to donate one show used batteries. Word spread, and the Broadway and Off-Broadway community came together in bringing donations to the theatres where the Broadway Donations Brigade would come pick them up and get them to local Evacuation Centers who were in desperate need. They have also been working with Jen Cody & Hunter Foster who have been taking donated items directly to those in Staten Island, one of the hardest hit areas.
If you would like to volunteer or have donations (batteries, toiletries, cleaning supplies) for pick up at a stage door in NYC, please contact McBee at [email protected] For monetary donations, please give directly to Jen Cody & Hunter Foster through their PayPal account, [email protected] which they will be using to purchase and deliver supplies needed in Staten Island.
