BREAKDOWN

AND THE WORLD GOES ROUND

SYNOPSIS: Filled with humor, romance, drama and nonstop melody, this title is a thrilling celebration of life and the fighting spirit that keeps us all going. Five individuals find themselves careening through the world of love, babies and coffee. From Cabaret to Chicago, the nonstop hit-parade features unforgettable gems, including Mr. Cellophane, Maybe This Time, Cabaret and New York, New York, seamlessly interwoven into a passionate, harmonious, up-tempo evening of musical theatre.

Note from Director: The work of Kander and Ebb is honest, vulnerable, dark, wry, powerful, regretful and knowing. It’s the songs of people triumphing against challenging (if not tragic) circumstances and choosing optimism and self reliance to succeed. Each piece in this revue is a story and, in turn, I’m looking for great and honest storytellers. Yes, the show asks for great voices, excellent part singing, and everyone must move quite well. But it all comes from storytelling.
