DOWNEY - Discount seats have been made available for the remaining two productions of the Downey Civic Light Opera's current season, "The Melody Lingers On" and "Funny Girl.""The Melody Lingers On," opening Feb. 17, features the music of Irving Berlin, described as "America's most prolific and beloved songwriter." Songs featured in the production include "White Christmas," "What'll I Do," "Easter Parade," "Puttin' On the Ritz," "Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning" and "God Bless America." The show runs Feb. 17 to March 6 at the Downey Theatre. "Funny Girl" is the musical that captured the greatness of one Broadway legend, Fanny Brice, and created another in Barbra Streisand. "People" and "Don't Rain On My Parade" are just two of the production's songs that have become part of musical lore. The backdrop of the Zeigfeld Follies "adds a look that dazzles the eye." "Funny Girl" runs June 2-19. Discount seats are available to DCLO subscribers only, but "special holiday offers" are available to general audiences as well, said executive director Marsha Moode. For tickets and information, call (562) 923-1714.
