I'm going tomorrow night as well. It sounds like a terrific program, with the finale being "Turkey Lurkey Time" from "Promises, Promises" with the original Michael Bennett choreography. Like most dance shows, the music is taped, but I forget if this group has the singers sing live. I saw them many years ago at City Center when the late Lee Theodore ran it; this latest incarnation has people like Donna McKechnie helping to reconstruct things like "The Music and the Mirror". The program these last couple of nights included the nude pas de deux by Margo Sappington from "Oh! Calcutta" with some NY City Ballet dancers doing the dance, plus the Tommy Tune's "Doing the Production Code" from "A Day in Hollywood/Night in the Ukraine". Otherwise, there are some goodies like the the song-and-dance from Kurt Weill's "Street Scene", Gower Champion's the "Audition" from "42nd Street", to round out the program. Looking forward to this, and thanks to Wayman for pointing this out on the board here.
