This spring, Molloy College’s Madison Theater toasts entertainment with Cocktail Hour: The Show, by New York-based dance company Ballets with a Twist. The performance will take place on Friday, April 1 at 8:00 p.m. and will feature the stage premiere of Mirage, a four-part sequel choreographed, rehearsed and produced safely for film between the pandemic-induced shutdowns in 2020 and 2021.
Single tickets cost between $35 and $50 and can be purchased at madisontheatre.org or by calling the Madison Theater box office at 516-323-4444. Additional information, including directions to the college (1000 Hempstead Ave.) and a campus map, can also be found on the site’s website.
Created by Artistic Director and Choreographer Marilyn Klaus, Cocktail Hour: The Show reinvents the glamor and excitement of classic entertainment with an original blend of charismatic choreography, intoxicating music and exquisite costumes. This pop-infused performing arts experience combines the magnetism of Hollywood’s Golden Age with an elegant 21st century sensibility, capturing the timeless American spirit in a series of witty and sparkling vignettes. It’s high level fun for all ages.
Program highlights include
- “Mirage” [PREMIERE] – Intrigue and illusion flourish in this urban desert sequel as wild spirits discover the oases of the imagination.
- “Rum Runner” – A spicy night in Cuba, a walk in Puerto Rico, a samba in Brazil… This lively Latin suite sets the heat!
- ‘Manhattan’ – After a night out in the big city, a Park Avenue socialite steps out with her dearest companion, the soulful strains of a jazz trumpet echoing the mood of the changing skyline.
