Anyone see the workshop of Last Dance tonight?

Highly recommended. The short weekend run is all sold out, but they may have a few cancellation tickets for $15. Very talented cast with much Broadway experience (including a woman currently on Broadway in Spiderman). Loved the songs "It's Raining Men", "Enough is Enough" and of course "Last Dance" (which this time was sung by the male lead beautifully). One guy in the front row didn't know what he was in for, in terms of audience participation - quite a lot of fun.

The storyline itself is excellent, in addition to all the hit songs. A daughter is looking thru her parent's old items to find memories. (Both of her parents have since passed away.) She "watches" as her parents meet - her dad was a songwriter, and her mom was a singer. Her mom teams up with a woman playing the role of Gloria Gaynor, and both of them start singing songs. Won't spoil any of the plot, but there are certainly some twists and some drama along the way. A very surprising (and sad) turn at the very end, which I didn't expect. The evening ends with an encore of the bit hits and quite a few people dancing in the aisles.

It runs about 2 hours 5 minutes including the intermission. Definitely try for the cancellation line! You won't be sorry.

Went to the show tonight, really enjoyed it. Anyone know if they plan on bringing it back in the future, I would definitely see it again.
