David Green's Musical Theatre University and Palm Springs Art Museum boldly intersect the visual arts with the performing arts as they bring the longest running musical in Broadway history, Chicago, to the museum's main gallery for four not-to-be-missed performances.
Chicago, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb and book by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb hilariously explores the themes of fame, greed and the justice system through the story of two women, Roxie Hart and Velma Kellym. The score includes All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, When You're Good to Mama, the Cell Block Tango, and more.
Tony Award winner Daisy Eagan joins a cast of sixteen MTU students for this fully staged, full-blown musical production as the Museum's atrium is transformed into a 1920's speakeasy.
About Musical Theatre University (MTU)
Musical Theatre University, led by founder and executive director David Green, is a pre-professional, comprehensive conservatory training ground for young people with aspirations for professional theatre careers, specifically on Broadway. Students in grades 8-12 are selected by audition from all parts of the Coachella Valley and neighboring communities.
MTU is sponsored and presented by The Palm Springs Unified School District, with no participation costs for students or families. The MTU faculty comprises working professional artist-teachers who are veterans of Broadway, film, and television. Concurrent with daily conservatory instruction, MTU produces three mainstage musicals each season where the students are joined onstage by Broadway veterans who serve as mentor teachers throughout the rehearsal and performance process.
