Based on the Broadway Musical

Head Over Heels is based on one of the top Broadway musicals in New York that ran from July 2018 to January 2019. A jukebox musical and one of the best broadway shows, it includes 80s chart topping hits by The Go Go’s, such as “We Got the Beat,” “Vacation,” and “Our Lips Are Sealed,” as well as hits by Belinda Carlisle, including “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and “Mad About You.” 

The broadway musical is based on the book written by Jeff Whitty, which was adapted for theatrical performance by James Magruder. 

Modern Music Meets a Medieval Plot

The plot is based on The Countess of Pembroke’s Arcadia by Sir Philip Sidney, a 16th century romance. A kingdom ruled by a royal family exists in peace, so long as it is controlled by a mysterious phenomenon referred to as “The Beat.” The kingdom risks losing “The Beat” if the king’s oldest daughter doesn’t find a suitor. The royal family will stop at nothing to save their beloved kingdom, but eventually learn that the only way to keep it alive is to look within their own hearts.
