NYC: PRE-BROADWAY CONCERT OF "A CRUISE LINE" AT DON'T TELL MAMA

NYC: PRE-BROADWAY CONCERT OF A CRUISE LINE AT DON'T TELL MAMA
A concert of new songs from the upcoming musical, A Cruise Line, composed by Rick Knight and directed by Spider Duncan Christopher, will be performed at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 ) in September. There are nine performances: Thursday & Friday, September 1st & 2nd; Tuesday, September 6th; Friday, September 9th; and Wednesday through Friday, September 13th through 15th. All shows are at 9:15 pm plus two special memorial shows will be presented on Sunday, September 11th and Monday, September 12th, both at 7:00 pm. A CRUISE LINE's concert will include 16 songs performed by an ethnically and culturally diverse ensemble cast of 11 which represents the diversity of the characters of the show and which includes Andi Bohs, Joe Dawson, Lisa Deane, Ken Gartman, Drew Hale, Ryan Hartman, Howah Hung, Dana Hunter, Michael Kours, Liz McKendry, Jody Mullen, Zal Owen, Andrew Pacho, Ross Pivec, Yolanda Robinson, Marshall Simon, and Cedric Yau. All of the stories swirl around each other as the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches. It's a dramatic comedy that presents a message described as every bit as paradigm shifting as Hair and Rent. The show's tag line is "Once you connect the dots, you can color outside the lines." Knight and Christopher regard it as further Aquarian Age study of how humanity is evolving. Proceeds from the September 11th and 12th shows will go to selected foundations helping the victims and families of 9/11 First Responders. After the cabaret concert finishes with its final performance on Friday, September 16, Knight and Christopher will be working on a full production of the show in 2012.
