MENDEL CENTER MAINSTAGE
at Lake Michigan College
Presents an Outstanding Line-up for the Mendel Center Mainstage
2007-2008 Season
This season's exciting Broadway line-up includes recipients of
six Tony awards and one Grammy award as "Chicago" and
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar"
will highlight the bill. The hit interactive comedy "Late
Nite Catechism" will transport audience members into a classroom
of what is sure to be a hilarious and enjoyable adult catechism
lesson.
Ballet fans will not want to miss the Tchaikovsky Ballet and
Orchestra, a company of 60 dancers and 50 musicians, who will
perform "Swan Lake," while the Vienna Boys Choir will
present traditional holiday music in its show "A Christmas
in Vienna."
The broad selection of musical performances will include the
multimedia extravaganza "Weird Al" Yankovic Show, complete
with video, costume changes and his full band; the legendary music
of The Glenn Miller Orchestra playing such hits as "In the
Mood" and "Moonlight Serenade;" and "1964
the Tribute," called by Rolling Stone magazine "the
No. 1 Beatles tribute show on earth."
Additionally, Grammy Award-winning artist Melissa Manchester
will perform her hits and some Christmas favorites, while the
group America will also visit the Twin Cities to entertain audiences
with their hits including "A Horse with No Name," "Ventura
Highway" and "Tin Man."
Family entertainment on the upcoming bill includes the dramatic
play with music, "Buffalo Soldier," a based-on-the-true-story
heroic tale of the brave soldiers of the 9th and 10th cavalries,
who served our country with little recognition during the Spanish-American
War. In addition, American Family Theater's performance of "Cinderella"
is a perfect show for the first-time theatre experience.
Mainstage Premiere Partners and current Series Patrons will receive
ticket information in May.
