"We have selected hits from Broadway shows dating back to 1903 and culminating the two-hour revue with a show-stopping song from the 2003 multi Tony award-winning musical "Hairspray". Each song chosen showcases the vast tastes, talents, and personalities of each cast member, giving the audience a wide variety of music to enjoy", explained Terry Sapp, director.
The cast is a select group of ten performers representing several area communities, including Sikeston, Cape Girardeau, Charleston, Dexter, and New Madrid. "Broadway shows are my passion and I am blessed to have an exceptionally talented, creative, hard- working, and dedicated cast to work with on this show", commented Sapp. All songs are performed and choreographed by different members of the ensemble and include several solos as well as group numbers.
Tickets for the show are $6 and will be sold at the door for each performance.
