"Another Opening, Another Show" to open on Oct. 24
PLATTEVILLE - At 11 a.m. on Oct. 24, "Another Opening, Another Show," directed by Ann Farrelly, will make its debut performance at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Subsequent shows on Oct. 25 through 27 will begin at 7:30 p.m. each night. This production will be presented in the Center for the Arts Little Theatre, located on the UWP campus.
"An interesting aspect of this musical revue is that 'Another Opening, Another Show' was created within a workshop concept," explains Susan Day, professor of music at UWP, who will be providing musical direction for this theater production. "Under the supervision of Dr. Farrelly and myself, the music for this new production was chosen by the cast themselves. This student/teacher collaboration is an original concept for our university."
"Another Opening, Another Show" is a fall musical that highlights pieces from musicals spanning all the way from the 1900s to present day shows. Represented musicals include "Camelot," "Annie Get Your Gun," "My Fair Lady," "Guys and Dolls," "Chicago," "West Side Story," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Godspell," "Hair," "Pippin," "Sweeney Todd," "Company," "Into the Woods," "Beauty and the Beast," "Les Miserables," "Phantom of the Opera," "Miss Saigon," "Spam-a-lot," "Jekyll and Hyde," "Wicked," "Aida" and "The Producers." Composers such as Gershwin, Cohen, Bernstein, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elton John and Jason Robert Brown will be featured in the production. Added Day, "There is music for everyone in this show, old standards to present-day hits."
