Theatre VCU Alumni!!! Catch up time

Andrew Hamm-
John Daniel Forslund Productions will be hosting a Cabaret showcase of Steppin' Out: Joe Jackson's Night and Day at the Underground in New York City on October 27, 2012 at 8:00 PM.

The show will feature NYC-based musical theatre performers as well as the core trio from the two previous iterations of the show: musical director/pianist
Andrew Hamm, bassist Philip Hamm, and drummer Adam Young. A showcase rather than a full production, it will feature 45 minutes of Steppin' Out's best material, including Jackson favorites "Steppin' Out," "Breaking Us in Two," and "Real Men," as well as new classics "Love Got Lost" and "Stranger than You."
 
The Underground is located at 955 West End Ave., just off of Broadway on the Upper West Side. Seating in this intimate space is limited, so reserve your tickets now by emailing Reservations.SteppinOut@gmail.com. If there is enough demand, a second show may be added. I'm thrilled to be able to mount an iteration of the piece that Joe's many fans in the New York City area will be able to see. Let's pack the house and start getting some buzz for a full New York City production of the show!

The
Steppin' Out cabaret is a must-see for devotees of musical theatre and Joe Jackson fans alike. Come see the acclaimed show that critics have hailed: "a hot evening of cool songs performed by a kickin’ band" ... "the concept is inspired and the performances are fabulous"  ... "pushing the creative envelope" ... "a great way to spend a summer's night."

It's almost show time! This is your reminder that the first play I've directed since college, REGRETS ONLY, opens this week.

Here are 2 fun videos that I produced about the show:

The Marvelous Wonderettes” by Roger Bean
It’s the Springfield High School Prom, 1958, where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to classic 50’s and 60’s songs like “Lollipop”, “Dream Lover”, “Stupid Cupid”, “It’s My Party”, and more than 20 other classic hits. The Mill produced the holiday sequel to this show two years ago – now we bring you the terrific show that started it all!

Maura Cravey designed the fabulous costumes!
