Fifth Dentist Productions will present private, two by-invitation only industry presentations of The Lap Dance Kid, a new musical created with music by Adam Blotner, and book and lyrics by Adam Blotner and Mike King, based on a story by Mike King.

ESTHER thrilled the audience at the George, who gave it a rousing standing ovation. I suspect A.D. PLAYERS knows its audience, and they have given them a show that dazzles people who have come in the right context. It was not shown if the struggle of scripture versus spectacle was an issue for them as it was for me. If you love exquisite dancing and good singing. If you admire a company that does all of this in service of an Old Testament heroine, then ESTHER is a sure bet.

Dancing with the Stars’ Sharna Burgess will lead the new danc-musical ESTHER. Conceived by Rachel Stange, this production is directed by Rachel Klein and features choreography by Chase Brock.
