American Idols and real-life couple, Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young star in the upcoming musical, Hit Her With The Skates, by Christine Rea & Rick Briskin, and directed by Michael Schiralli.
After a sold-out run at Hamilton Stage in New Jersey last season, Hit Her With The Skates will get its official Off-Broadway debut this fall.
The cast gave a preview of the show yesterday and BroadwayWorld was there! Check out the photos below!
HIT HER WITH THE SKATES is GREASE meets HAIRSPRAY with a dash of XANADU! It's 1994 and Pop/Rockstar, Jacqueline Miller has a lot to celebrate. She's headlining her first national tour and returning to her hometown to kick off the gala re-opening of her beloved Windy City Skates. When complications hit her head on, Jacqueline comes face-to-face with her 12 -year-old self and all the things she learned during the golden age of the roller rink in 1977. From the wisdom of the Ouija Board to the power of All-Skate Saturday, Hit Her With The Skates explores the magic and hope of finding your one true love, while still being true to yourself.
