Tap Dancing Spectacle STARDUST ROAD is Now Playing at Surflight
Performances run September 4-15, 2024.
Surflight Theatre is continuing their 2024 Season with the recent Off Broadway hit, Stardust Road. Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust Road is a new musical journey filled with great music and dance, that tells the story of six friends and the one man who brought them all together. The musical is told completely through the sophisticated music of Hoagy Carmichael. The seven friends weave a story of camaraderie and shifting relationships through four decades in America: the early years of ragtime, jazz and blues; the romance of New York in the 1930's; the tumultuous and uncertain years of the World War II era; and the post-war Golden Age of Hollywood. All while walking down Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust Road.
Paula Hammons Sloan directs and choreographs. Ms. Sloan has directed or choreographed all over the country from several shows at The Laguna Playhouse to numerous Casino showrooms and Regional Theatres including Kansas City Starlight, Casa Manana, Theater Under the Stars Houston and of course Surflight Theatre.
