New Play Opens At The Plaza Theatre November 7
FINGERS & TOES TIPPETY-TAPS ITS WAY ON STAGE AT THE PLAZA THEATRE NOVEMBER 7-24
Tap Musical a Love Letter to the Backstage Musical Comedy
MANALAPAN -Tap dancing and love take center stage at The Plaza Theatre from November 7-24 in the “musical within a musical” hit production FINGERS & TOES.
Tap dancer Dustin “Toes” MacGrath, played by Rick Faugno, and pianist Tristan “Fingers” St. Claire, played by Aaron Berk, have managed to talk a major Broadway producer into coming to see their show in two weeks: a boy meets girl tap dance spectacular on the theme of love. But there’s a problem: first, they haven’t written it yet, secondly they don’t have a girl, and sadly, they have no idea whatsoever about love. As the deadline approaches, everything becomes swept up in a series of dazzling numbers and comical scenes as their theme “Love” begins to derail the show. A deliriously delightful and genuinely funny love-letter to the old-fashioned “let’s put on a show”. Nili Bassman plays Molly Molloy.
Already becoming established as the go-to place for nostalgia and popular shows, The Plaza Theatre continues its homage to classic theater with this highly entertaining, backstage story. Tap, which has made a resurgence in popular entertainment, is center stage, with outstanding numbers from “Toes” and the lovely starlet-to-be during an on-stage “tap off” between the pair. Coupled with catchy tunes from “Fingers” this is a must-see for all musical theater fans.
