This is hard to resist: The music of Broadway interpreted by singers, acrobats and aerial artists.
Itโs โBig Top Broadway,โ at Desert View Performing Arts Center this weekend.
What makes this particularly appealing is that the show is produced and performed by some of Tucsonโs most accomplished performers. And a few from out of town.
Khris Dodge is co-creator of the show โ Dodge is a talented musician who has worked on several local musicals.
He has put together a cast that generally aims to please. Among them: former Tucsonan Stuart Moulton, who has sung and danced across many of Tucson stages, and in recent years has added aerial arts to his bag of talents; University of Arizona graduate Walter Belcher, whose glorious singing voice has taken him around the world, and Nick Gallardo, a hometown boy who sings like an angel.
Also signed on: musical theater actress Grace Wall, who hails from New York City; Jonathan Nosan, whose aerial, contortions and stilt dancing skills have landed him jobs in movies, on TV and stages; acrobatic artist Kelsey Strauch; and musician and aerialist Julie Passaro Krygsman.
There are just two performances: 3 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27 at Desert View, 39900 S. Clubhouse Drive. Tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. 825-2818 or tickets.saddlebrooketwo.com Kathleen Allen
