More than 25 years after NBC's California Dreams wrapped and the stars went their separate ways, the cast has reunited for a long-awaited live concert.
在美国全国广播公司的《加州之梦》完结、明星们各奔东西25年后,演员们重聚,举行了一场期待已久的现场演唱会。
The nine-member cast is scheduled to perform on Friday at Manhattan's Stitch Bar & Blues and participate in a panel discussion, autograph sessions and photo opportunities with loyal fans. Original cast Michael Cade (Sylvester "Sly" Winkle), Brentley Gore (Matt Garrison), Jay Anthony Franke (Jake Sommers), Aaron Jackson (Mark Winkle), William James Jones (Tony Wicks), Jennie Kwan (Samantha "Sam" Woo), Kelly Packard (Tiffani Smith), Heidi Saban (Jenny Garrison) and Diana Uribe (Lorena Costa) are all slated to attend.
九名成员将于周五在曼哈顿的Stitch Bar & Blues演出,并参加小组讨论、签名会和与忠实粉丝合影的机会。原班演员Michael Cade (Sylvester“Sly”Winkle), Brentley Gore (Matt Garrison), Jay Anthony Franke (Jake Sommers), Aaron Jackson (Mark Winkle), William James Jones (Tony Wicks), Jennie Kwan (Samantha“Sam”Woo), Kelly Packard (tiffany Smith), Heidi Saban (Jenny Garrison)和Diana Uribe (Lorena Costa)都将出席。
While the cast began promoting the event on social media in recent months, Packard and Kwan expressed their excitement about the event together in a short video on Instagram on Oct. 3.
虽然演员们最近几个月开始在社交媒体上宣传这次活动,但帕卡德和关颖珊于10月3日在Instagram上发布了一段短视频,表达了他们对这次活动的兴奋之情。
Cast members began arriving in New York City on Monday ahead of Thursday's rehearsal, which brought back a "flood" of memories to Franke, who "almost cried out of joyful nostalgia" during the band's dry run. For least some of them, it seemed like no time had passed.
在周四的排练之前,剧组成员于周一开始抵达纽约市,这给弗兰克带来了“洪水般的”回忆,在乐队的排练中,他“几乎因为快乐的怀旧而哭了出来”。至少对他们中的一些人来说,时间似乎没有流逝。
"It’s like nothing has changed," Kwan tells PEOPLE. "We’re like a big crazy family. But with just a couple more wrinkles."
“好像什么都没有改变,”关告诉《人物》杂志。“我们就像一个疯狂的大家庭。只不过多了几条皱纹。”
Jones was feeling nostalgic, adding, "It felt like a high school reunion the moment I saw everyone. A love and connection that remains timeless."
琼斯很怀旧,他补充说:“看到大家的那一刻,我感觉就像高中同学聚会。一种永恒的爱和联系。”
California Dreams ran from 1992 to 1996 as part of NBC's Saturday morning lineup. The show centered on a fictional West coast band and its teenage members' antics, with plenty of catchy original tunes along the way (many of which were composed by Grammy-winning producer Steve Tyrell), including "Castles on Quicksand," "One World," "If You Only Knew."
《加州之梦》从1992年播出到1996年,是NBC周六早间节目的一部分。这部剧以一个虚构的西海岸乐队和其十几岁成员的滑稽行为为中心,沿途有很多上口的原创歌曲(其中许多是由格莱美奖得主史蒂夫·蒂勒尔创作的),包括《流沙上的城堡》、《同一个世界》、《如果你只知道》。
Since California Dreams went off the air, different combinations of the cast have participated in smaller reunions, with an especially memorable 2010 gig on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon when they performed the show's theme song. They also appeared Saved by the Max pop up restaurant in LA in 2019 (whose name fans will recognize is a nod to California Dreams' fellow Saturday program Saved by the Bell).
自从《加州之梦》停播后,不同的演员组合参加了小型重聚,2010年在吉米·法伦主演的《今夜秀》上,他们演唱了节目的主题曲,这让人印象深刻。他们还在2019年出现在洛杉矶的Saved by the Max弹出式餐厅(粉丝们会认出这个名字是向加州之梦的周六节目Saved by the Bell致敬)。
Several of the show's stars went on to work on other TV and film projects. Packard appeared in Baywatch and served as a field correspondent for Ripley's Believe It or Not. Kwan graced the stage in productions of Avenue Q and AIaddin, appeared in Entourage and New Girl and voiced roles in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Uribe, meanwhile, landed a part in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 crime drama Jackie Brown and appeared in the music video for Johnny Gill's "I Got You."
这部剧的几位主演继续出演其他电视剧和电影。帕卡德出现在《海滩救护队》中,并担任雷普利的《信不信由你》的战地记者。关在《大道Q》和《艾丁》的舞台上大放异彩,在《明星伙伴》和《杰茜驾到》中出现,并在《阿凡达:最后的气宗》中为角色配音。与此同时,乌里韦在昆汀·塔伦蒂诺1997年的犯罪片《杰基·布朗》中出演了一个角色,并出现在约翰尼·吉尔的《我得到了你》的音乐录影带中。
