Flashdance - The Musical has danced it's way into Columbus, Ohio this week. The show based on the movie from 1983, features many of the popular #1 hits from the movie's original soundtrack including -"What A Feeling", "Gloria", and "Maniac" just to name a few. Running in town till December 22nd, 2013 here in Columbus at the Palace Theatre, and soon visiting other major cities - and who knows maybe even to Broadway soon? You would be a Maniac to miss your chance to see this show.
The pre-show curtain has clips from the 80's MTV generation including Madonna, Olivia Newton John, and Def Leppard which certainly sets the mood for what you are about to see. From the moment the curtain rises - you are immediately brought into the action of a small town girl working at a steel mill, who has big time dreams of being a professional dancer. Working at the steel mill by day, and dancing at a local hot spot by night- she anxiously awaits an audition to get into a prestigious dancing academy. Encouraged by friends and loved ones who believe in her talent, she also soon finds a love interest who is her boss from the steel mills son. As you can imagine this could causes her some possible issues? Meanwhile, the plot also thickens when a new nightclub opens down the street, threatening the business of the hot spot she has established herself dancing in. She and her friends continue to defy the odds to follow their dreams. You'll want to go and see how this plot turns out?
The lighting, and sets are also worth a look- as they provide a really great aesthetic that is pleasing to the eyes- among the already familiar music. The choreography is simply amazing- as it features almost every style of modern and trained dancing, from ballet to some hip-hop dancing stuck in for the new MTV generation to enjoy. Writing this I must say that I have no dancing skills, so the dancers in this show will put anyone to shame that has two left feet.
Whether you are making this show a girls night out, a date, or you are just going to relive the magic from the already popular movie- you are going to enjoy the show. I had a really great time, and would recommend this show to everyone. Thanks again to CAPA for the opportunity to see the show.
