'Broadway - Let's Twist Again!' At The Waterfront

The Waterfront Playhouse, recently named The Best Professional Theater in Florida, by Florida Monthly Magazine, will kick off their 71st Season with "Broadway - Let's Twist Again!" This gender-bending musical extravaganza will star over 30 of Key West's best performers. The show features guys doing numbers made famous by Broadway divas, and the gals reciprocating with songs made famous by Broadway dudes. Broadway showstoppers, star solos, group numbers, comic turns, soaring ballads, dance numbers - "Broadway - Let's Twist Again!" is chock full of talent and entertainment. Coordinated by The Playhouse's Artistic Director, Danny Weathers, it promises to be an evening not to be missed.

The concerts will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 19th and 20th. The concert on the 19th will be $75 and features a gala post-performance party catered by the Elwell family's Iron Chefs and sponsored by Royal Furniture. The Saturday, November 20 evening will be $50, which features the same great concert, but with no after party.

The best of Key West musical theater is scheduled to appear: David Black, Laurie Breakwell, Eric Cole, Carolyn Cooper, Melody Cooper, Robin Deck, Joy Hawkins, Maj Johnson, Michael McCabe, Erin McKenna, Joe McMurray, Gayla Morgan, Mike Mulligan, Ruben Navarro, Marjorie Paul-Shook, Amy Ray, Traci Reynolds, Carmen Rodriguez, GorDon Ross, Vicki Roush, Rich Simone, Randy Thompson, Dean Walters, Danny Weathers, John Wells and several surprises. Guest conductor Robert Strickland from Atlanta will once again accompany the singers, with Joe Dallas on bass and Skipper Kripitz on percussion.

The concert will feature numbers from great hits of Broadway: "Chicago," "Hairspray," "La Cage aux Folles" "Grease," "Rent," "West Side Story," "Oklahoma," "Funny Girl," "Ragtime," "South Pacific," "The Boy From Oz," "The Fantastiks" and more.

As George Fontana noted in his Conch Color review: "Everyone talks about the remarkable concentration of first-rate talent in Key West. The Waterfront Playhouse has done something about it and produced an event that would knock the socks off even the most jaded theater devotee...These Opening Concerts have become an instant Key West show biz tradition. Bravo Waterfront Playhouse!"
