Drumstruck, the world's first interactive drum-theatre experience, will be featured on WNBC's "Today in New York" Weekend on Saturday, August 6 (9am-10am Eastern; check local listings for times outside of NYC).
Drumstruck,
which comes from sold-out engagements in Johannesburg, South Africa and
Sydney, Australia, is making its American debut off-Broadway at Dodger
Stages, Stage 2 (340 West 50th Street, NYC). The show "provides a
2-foot-tall drum on every seat - and the entire audience gets the
chance to make music together. Featuring 11 South and West African
percussionists, they start the show with a pulse-racing bang: song,
dance and eye blurring drum performances. Then they lead the audience
in an exhilarating experience of exuberant African drumming," states
the show's press release.Drumstruck's
running time is one hour, 25 minutes with no intermission, and
performance times are Tuesday - Saturday at 8:00 PM, Saturday at 2:00
PM, and Sunday at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Tickets to Drumstruck are available at the Dodger Stages box office by calling Telecharge.com at (212) 239-6200, (800) 432-7250 outside the NY metro area, or ordering online.
