STUDENTS PRESENT 'A BROADWAY REVUE'
posted 1/19/07

ADRIAN, Mich. - The Music Department’s chapter of MENC (Music Educators National Conference) invites you to “A Broadway Revue.”

This year’s performance will feature numbers from “Wild Party”, “Hairspray”, “STOMP”, “Masquerade”, “Lion King”, “Cabaret”, and many more.

All proceeds from this year’s show will go towards the Adrian College Choirs’ performance in May at the 400th anniversary of Jamestown.

MENC, a student-run organization, puts on the “Revue” to provide musical theater students with another venue to showcase their talents. Auditions were in November and 25 Adrian College students will entertain for the night. The cast will be accompanied by a 15-piece orchestra pit composed of students and faculty. Some of the 14 soloists include Adrian College students Kelly Fox, Ben Rosebrock, and Eric Swanson, the former director of the show. The performance will also feature dance and large chorus numbers.

The Revue is directed by Becky Ditto, Adrian College junior and MENC Vice President. Junior Amanda Born is the assistant director, and sophomore Cyndi Ferguson, a musical theatre major, will choreograph the show. She is assisted by sophomore Beth Ann Barbieri.

The show is scheduled on Thursday and Friday Feb. 1 and 2 at 8 p.m. in Dawson Auditorium, located on the Adrian College campus. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Groups of eight or more who reserve their seats before Jan. 30 will receive a discount price of $8. All reservations are available via email at broadwayrevue07@yahoo.com. For more information, contact the music department at 517-264-3868 or Becky Ditto at 517-265-5161, ext. 4357.
