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).

    simply amazing

    by LoverOfGoodStuff on 8/12/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    At the beginning I had mixed feelings regarding this show since I do not usually like when a movie is made into play, but I have to say that the quality of the dancing and the singing made all my worries go away. I really enjoyed the energy and the good performances given by the cast.

    What a Feeling? No -- What a Mess!

    by ATheatreGoer8 on 8/11/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    Okay -- the leads and cast were really good. So were a handful of new songs. But the clumsy set changes and lack of energy in the production were terrible.

    Very entertaining! I loved the dancing, singing and storyline. While it is not as jaw dropping as some of the other shows, I still highly recommend.

    Flashdance Was Not so Great

    by Serene1 on 8/10/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    The women who played the Lead was Fabulous. The rest was like a high school production. It was just lacking the Quality of Theatre I am used to. Just lackluster

    by follies on 8/10/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    What talent!! Thoroughly enjoyable. The audience went wild! Jillian Mueller and Mathew Hydzik as Alex and Nick were tremendous. Wonderful voices.

    Flashdance didn't make me want to dance...

    by luvingfeelinggood on 8/10/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    .... I think the music especially failed to do the show what it could be. It was overall rather weak. The "ooomph" and excitement one would have expected ... just wasn't delivered.

    We were expecting a sing a long play and were disappointed that it wasn't and it seemed like many of the original songs were modified. Last dance was a bit of a let down too, but we still enjoyed the musical overall.

    Flashdance - Flashback

    by MsPV on 8/10/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    This play was a lot of fun, This play is very similar to the movie, lots of the same scenes and music. This is also a lot of new music, nothing memorable but good just the same. The singing was pretty good and the dancing was much better. Fun evening out especially if you are looking for a trip down memory lane.

    Jillian Mueller was incredible

    by BigmaWild on 8/9/13Cadillac Palace - Chicago

    I wached the movie and didn't imagine this can be performed on the stage. This is the best musical on stage I have ever seen. Especilally, Jillian Mueller was incredible! I will revisit next week.
