Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Huntington, WV (HNN) -- The Holiday season is here so Give them the gift that will last a lifetime: the gift of the arts!
Consider putting tickets in your loved one's stocking for Marshall Artists Series performances.
Kicking off the season February 8 & 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center Cabell Huntington Hospital brings you Andrew Lloyd Webber’s CATS. Based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, and with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, CATS won seven 1983 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Lighting and Best Costumes, there’s no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theatre than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of CATS!
Then on February 23, at 8 p.m. spend An Evening with Lucille Ball in “Thank You For Asking” at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center. Join Lucy as she guides us through a lifetime of personal memories inspiring her timeless sketches on “I Love Lucy,” her 30-year television career and never-before heard personal recollections about her tempestuous and complicated marriage to Cuban bandleader turned impresario, Desi Arnaz. It’s the Lucy the whole world loved – from "Ricardo" to "Mame" – but, more importantly, it’s an evening with the REAL Lucy, as you’ve never seen her before. Produced by Lucie Arnaz.
St. Mary’s Medical Center and HIMG bring Mozart’s masterpiece Don Giovanni, live with a 30 piece world class orchestra to the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center on March 15 at 8 p.m. Hailed by many as the greatest of all operas, Mozart's DON GIOVANNI is based on the true-life escapades of Don Juan of Seville, an aristocratic lothario who lived during the 1600s. The full-scale, production featured beautiful sets and costumes and a cast of soloists who are excellent actors as well as first class singers.
Closing out the season Beford Auto presents Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance April 22, at 7:30 p.m. at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center. Described by the New York Post as "fascinating, rewarding and above all, entertaining," and by the Los Angeles Times as "a showpiece extravaganza," Lord of the Dance is a mesmerizing blend of traditional and modern Celtic music and dance. The story is based upon mythical Irish folklore as Don Dorcha, Lord of Darkness, challenges the ethereal lord of light, the Lord of the Dance. Battle lines are drawn, passions ignite and a love story fueled by the dramatic leaps and turns of dancers’ bodies begins to build against a backdrop of Celtic rhythm. The action is played out over 21 scenes on a grand scale of precision dancing, dramatic music, colorful costumes and state-of-the-art staging and lighting.
