With the start of fall semester comes a new theater season at Governors State University’s Center for the Performing Arts. The 2012-2013 season officially kicks off on Friday, September 21 at 8p.m.with Broadway’s Next H!t Musical.
Theatre-goers who attend the show can expect a fun evening of improvised musical entertainment. According to the Center for the Performing Arts website, www.centertickets.net, “The hysterical Broadway’s Next H!T Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Master improvisers gather made up, hit song suggestions from the audience and create a spontaneous evening of music, humor, and laughter. The audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns it into a full blown improvised musical – complete with memorable characters, witty dialogue, and plot twists galore.”
The show has received rave reviews from publications such as Theatreweek and The New York Times. The New York Post wrote that the show has, “a spontaneity, wit and inventiveness that must be seen to be believed!”
