International City Theatre will close out the first production of its 25th, Silver Jubilee Season, the Los Angeles premiere of a new musical about Silver Screen legend Ginger Rogers entitled BACKWARDS IN HIGH HEELS on March 21st.
It's about time there was a stage show about Ginger Rogers, the name that has become synonymous with dancing on the silver screen. Though her films, particularly those partnered with Fred Astaire have become iconic, most people tend to forget that she got her start and ultimately built her career treading the boards on the vaudeville circuit and on Broadway. Rogers was a lady of the stage, with a catalogue of standards attached to her name from the Gershwins, Jerome & Kern, and Irving Berlin just to name a few. If the biographies of Patsy Cline and Buddy Holly have the makings of a hit Broadway musical, surely a tribute to Ginger Rogers would glide right past them. Unfortunately, Backwards in High Heels is rather unfitting, possibly even embarrassing tribute to a one of America's greatest stage and screen legends.
Legendary star Ginger Rogers is long overdue for a musical show in her honor. Overshadowed by dancing partner Fred Astaire, she was known to have said 'I did everything he did only backwards in high heels'. Thus, we have the basis for the title of this classy, snappy new musical at ICT which is an instant audience pleaser.
