麻豆传媒 City University鈥檚 internationally renowned American Spirit Dance Company will showcase Broadway-style dance with its annual spring show 鈥淭he Broadway Review鈥� from March 9 to 11.
Directed by OKCU Dance Chair Jo Rowan, the show features fast-paced tap, jazz and theatrical dances. The show will explore love and loss through various numbers including the Johnny Cash favorite 鈥淩ing of Fire,鈥� Hank Williams鈥� 鈥淟ovesick Blues鈥� and 鈥淲ith You鈥� from the movie 鈥淕host.鈥�
Rowan said 鈥淐razy Little Thing Called Love鈥� will bring the 1940s to life with swing and jive dancing.
鈥淪ee tremendous lifts and feel the exuberance of the 鈥�40s,鈥� Rowan said.
A rocking, roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex will shake things up with a bevy of long-legged dancers, and audience members will feel the thrill of New York City with the high-kicking, Rockette-inspired number 鈥淣ew York, New York鈥� and 鈥淪hip Shape,鈥� which will bring dancing sailors to the stage.
Hope and faith will be reflected in the spiritual numbers 鈥淕lory鈥� and 鈥淕od Be With You.鈥�
Not to be outdone by T-Rex, 鈥淢acavity鈥� will feature a villainous mystery cat right behind 鈥淢ission Impossible鈥� and 鈥淪mooth Criminal.鈥�
鈥淭here will be something from dynamic show biz productions for everyone,鈥� Rowan said.
