Perhaps Peter Pan can’t fly out the window or Mary Poppins won’t levitate to the roof of the Baum Opera House but Children’s Performing Arts of Miamisburg (CPAM) will be treating audiences to the excitement from these shows during March by presenting Broadway in the ‘Burg.
Broadway in the ‘Burg will include a special selection of show stoppers from many other beloved Broadway shows all wrapped up in one magical evening.
The talented cast will be telling you to Consider Yourself at Home from Oliver, be transported back in time to magical Camelot and ride a train in Iowa to Rock Island from Music Man. Cinderella dances with the Prince in the romantic Ten Minutes Ago and the whole cast will bring you to your feet with the blockbuster title number from Oklahoma! Other treats on the bill will be special selections from Bye Bye Birdie, Bugsy Malone and Rent.
Since, their inception three years ago, Miamisburg’s own childrens’ theater group has thrilled audiences with full length productions of Godspell, The Wizard of Oz and Seussical. Last September, just a few weeks before it opened on Broadway, CPAM presented one of the area’s largest productions of Annie, The Musical which featured the fun and excitement of 22 orphans on the stage of the Baum Opera House at the same time.
Topping off the evening will be a sentimental and nostalgic look back at past performances with selections from Godspell, The Wizard of Oz, Seussical and Annie, the Musical.
All Miami Valley area students from grades 4 through 12 are welcome to join our group. CPAM’s productions of The Wizard of Oz and Seussical each had 50 area children acting, singing and dancing on the stage.
