Adrian College Presents 'A Broadway Revue'
posted 1/16/08

ADRIAN, Mich. - The Adrian College music department’s chapter of MENC (Music Educators National Conference) is hosting its 5th annual Broadway Revue, ‘Be Our Guest’ on Friday and Saturday Feb. 1 & 2.

MENC, which is a student-run organization, believes the ‘Revue’ is a great way to allow Adrian College students to showcase their talents through another venue. All proceeds from this year’s show will go towards the Adrian College Choir’s trip to the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

The ‘Revue’ is directed by Amanda Born, a senior at Adrian College. In addition, seniors Molly Muller and Jim Davidson will be conducting the show, while senior Mackenzie Fader and junior Bridget Leary will choreograph the show. This year’s performance will feature large dance and chorus ensembles including numbers from Beauty and the Beast, Charlie Brown, 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, and many more.

Auditions were held in October and 35 Adrian College students were selected to perform. The cast will be accompanied by a student-conducted orchestra pit composed of students and faculty. Adrian College alum Eric Swanson, and current students Becky Ditto, Shana Flores, Mackenzie Fader, Gerianne Ditto, Nicholas Fuqua, and Tom Pavlovich, are just a few of the soloists performing.

The show will be held on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 1 & 2 at 8:00 PM in Dawson Auditorium, located on the College Campus. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Groups of eight or more who reserve their seats before January 30 will receive a discount price of $8. All reservations are available via email at broadwayrevue08@yahoo.com.
