That's More Entertainment: Old Globe Gives Dancing in the Dark an Extra Week
By Kenneth Jones
19 Mar 2008
Due to popular demand, The Old Globe in San Diego has extended the run of its world-premiere musical, Dancing in the Dark, by one week, now to April 20.
Directed by Gary Griffin and choreographed by Warren Carlyle, the musical is adapted (reinvented, really) by Douglas Carter Beane from the classic M-G-M movie "The Band Wagon." It features a score by the late Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz. The 1953 screenplay is by Betty Comden and Adolph Green.
Dancing in the Dark must close on April 20 to make room for the Globe's next world-premiere production, Hershey Felder's Beethoven, As I Knew Him.
Tickets for the extension week go on sale March 20 at noon and are available by calling (619) 23-GLOBE, online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, or by visiting The Old Globe box office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.
