Classic Stage Company Announces Benefit Concert of THE RINK

Classic Stage Company (CSC) (Jill Rafson, Producing Artistic Director) has announced a one-night-only benefit concert performance of THE RINK, featuring a book by Terrence McNally, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Starring Beth Leavel as Anna and Jessie Mueller as Angel, the concert will take place on Mon Sept 15 at 7:00 PM at CSC’s Lynn F Angelson (136 E 13th St.) The evening will be directed by Dave Solomon, with music direction by Greg Jarrett, choreography by Shannon Lewis, music supervision by Sam Davis and casting by Alaine Aldaffer, CSA and Lisa Donadio. The Rink was originally produced on Broadway in 1984, starring Chita Rivera and Liza Minnelli. Amongst the dilapidated remains of the roller skating rink she owns, Italian-American widow Anna considers her future. But the return of her aimless and free-spirited daughter Angel spurs an emotional collision and a trip down memory lane. Ticket  are available www.classicstage.org/the-rink-benefit-concert.
