Artistic & Creative Details
According to a NODA “Show Reports” entry by Debi Weaver and Matthew Heaton:
- Date: 9th November 2024
- Venue: Olympus Theatre
- Production Team:
- Director & Choreographer: Vicki Klein
- Musical Director: Brendan Casey
- The production tackled the show’s challenging ensemble dance numbers (especially tap dancing) admirably.
- The set design embraced a minimalist, backstage-inspired aesthetic—bare stage with visible rigging, period props like stage lamps, and strategic use of projections (e.g., to depict Miss Brock’s dressing room and a train for “Shuffle Off to Buffalo”)
