Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, the pop culture phenomenon of FLASHDANCE is now live on stage. With electrifying dance at its core, FLASHDANCE-THE MUSICAL tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steel mill welder by day and a bar dancer by night with dreams of one day becoming a professional performer. When romance with her steel mill boss threatens to complicate her ambitions, Alex learns the meaning of love and its power to fuel the pursuit of her dream.
FLASHDANCE-THE MUSICAL features a score that includes the biggest hit songs from the movie, including the Academy Award-winning title song "Flashdance - What a Feeling," "Maniac," "Gloria," "Manhunt," and "I Love Rock & Roll." In addition to these hits, 16 brand new songs have been written for the musical with music by Robbie Roth and lyrics by Robert Cary and Robbie Roth. FLASHDANCE-THE MUSICAL features a book by Tom Hedley (co-writer of the original screenplay), and Robert Cary with direction and choreography by Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys, Memphis).
Didn't really like this one....glad I didn't spend alot of money on this. I kept nodding off and whenever I woke myself up I would look around and I saw folks texting and/or walking out the theatre. Guess I wasn't the only one who didn't think much of this show
The opening song got you pumped up and after that I felt the energy drain out, lost me after that. I thought the acting was not good, the singing was good and the dancing was good but nothing great.
Flashdance was great! I thought it followed the movie perfectly. Everyone did a great job.
Great show! I LOVED the "Maniac" scenes. She danced so well!
I enjoyed Flashdance the Musical by sending me back to the 80's and remembering the movie. However, I found there were too many new songs I wasn't familiar with and not enough songs from the movie incorporated into the musical. The final dance number sadly was not my favorite moment, the dancing for that was good, not great. Still, I'm glad I went to see it and would recommend it.
This play was pretty bad. Mostly because the main character was really poorly cast. Jennifer Beals was a tomboy and tough woman and the woman cast for the play was just so not that person. Moreover her voice was horrid and made me hate hearing her parts. I will say that the other 2 strippers were amazing and they should definitely be kept because they made the time I spent there bearable.
I loved the show, although I can't say it was the greatest show I've ever seen. I wanted to see Flashdance because I loved the movie and music. This was very enjoyable.
Try to sit and listen to that song and not want to tap your foot. Flashdance was full of energy and great music. The cast did a great job and I would recommend it to anyone who gets the chance to see it. They did not perform all the songs in the movie which was a little disappointing.But... It was still a fun show to watch.
My husband and I loved the music, loved the dancing and loved the talented artists that performed for us. I would recommend it to anyone to see. It certainly was a feel good experience.
The show was well done. I know the movie well, and of course realized that many songs would have to be written and added to make the show a musical. There were a number of times I found myself looking at the monitor because I could not understand the words that were being sung. I did not enjoy the amount of singing that Nick did. I did however, LOVE the song when both were facing their challenges and each had half the stage. My granddaughter, who is a dancer, was not disappointed. She enjoyed the old school and contemporary dancing in the show. The orchestra did a fine job. We had a great deal of fun as did everyone around us.
