Memo From The RTC: Chorus Line is A’Comin’
By Norm Scott
Monday night, with the “massive” snow storm beating down on
us, I headed over to the Post Theater at Fort Tilden, home of the Rockaway
Theatre Company to check out whether the cast of Chorus Line was rehearsing.
Also to see what snacks were being served. And mother hen Suzanne Riggs,
without a doubt, one of the most thoughtful people on earth, certainly
delivered some fine snacks. I almost forgot to check out the rehearsal.
I don’t like to see too much of a rehearsal so as not to
spoil thing when the show opens on Friday, March 24. So I stayed just long
enough to get a bit of the flavor of a show I had seen in the original on
Broadway, but it was so long ago, I had little memory of the details. Well, I
don’t have to tell you that this cast, as vets of RTC full well know, is
spectacular. Actors, singers and dancers – a stage loaded with them. And they
are all so beautiful and handsome. Ahhh, youth. And oh those mirrors Tony
Homsey and crew installed on an otherwise bare stage. Susan Warren and David
Risley are directing, and there’s an awesome support crew that I will talk
about next week, so we know every single aspect of the show is in good hands.
A friend called me the other day asking me to get her a
ticket because she loves the music and never saw it on Broadway. So many people
tell me that Chorus Line was their favorite show. You all know this will be
special and popular. There are 9 performances over 3 weeks. www.rockawaytheatrecompany.org
or call 718-374-6400.
Psssst. Don’t tell anyone, but I have a
link to the wonderful video they showed at the RTC party last week reviewing
the shows of the 2016 season. https://vimeo.com/208213080.
Shhhhh!
