About

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).

    Flashdance was ok ...

    by PNBB on 8/16/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    My wife and I attended the second day showing of this musical with high hopes. Certainly the energy that was exhibited was huge and flashy. The principals particularly showed that. Unfortunately, those hopes were not completely realized. Part of the problem was that the sound balance was not good between the singers and the band. When there was only speaking, we could hear the voices very clearly. But when there was singing, the band overwhelmed the voices, making it very hard to understand what was being sung except by inference. Hopefully that was fixed in later performances.

    Disappointed

    by Ladyeyedoc on 8/14/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Everything was just uninspiring. The lead's voice was tinny and almost childlike. I did think the woman who played Gloria was very good, and reminded me of Kristen Chenowith. I never really felt entertained.

    insulted

    by teo1712 on 8/14/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I am insulted that this play was brought to the paying public. I would give no stars if you had a field for it. This is what was bad: script, timing, flow,direction, original music and 3 star cast. I know we are not Broadway but I was insulted that it was brought to a Chicago stage.

    There was No "Flash" in Flashdance

    by maven975 on 8/14/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    If we didn't have our children with us, we probably would of left at intermission. The lead female actress who played Alex could not dance or sing. She provided no energy and just flat out fizzled!! If it wasn't for Gloria (the life of the play), we would of been sleeping in our seats. Neither the lead Male or Female were able to project their singing above the orchestra music. The remaining cast members were excellent.

    by SACMEMBER on 8/14/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    What a great musical! We thoroughly enjoy this musical play. The lady cast members were beautiful and the entire cast were very talented singers and dancers. We could not have spent a Sunday afternoon doing anything better than seeing this wonderful program. Wish they would be around longer so we could go see it again.

    Pretty good

    by lisa12 on 8/14/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Flashdance was fun , but not great. My daughter and I couldn't understand most of the words in the songs. I don't know if its because we were in the balcony or what. I got a good deal on the tickets. If I had paid full price I would have been disappointed. If you get a good deal its worth seeing, but don't pay full price.

    Dissappoining. Too much new music...not enough of the original stuff. Dragged in spots. Dancer playing Alex was superb!
