MM#3 Showstoppers

“Showstoppers”

“Showstoppers” is Ole Miss Theatre’s annual musical review. The show gives theatre students an opportunity to perform number from several different types of shows from different periods in time. The theme this year is Backstage Broadway, which shows what goes on behind the curtain, and what performing is like from an actors perspective, and most of the numbers in the show are about putting on a show—The Producers, A chorus Line, Gypsy.

The musical directors for “Showstoppers” are Martha Hitch and Rene Pulliam. Pulliam also choreographed several of the numbers, but there are also several student choreographers—Senior BFA students Sam Damare, Kelee Fuller, Christopher Young, Morgan McHugh. “Showstoppers” represent theatricality ad artistry, it is the one time that theatre students get to show exactly what they are trained to do. Because it is a musical review it covers a large spectrum of genres from Jazz to Ballet  “Anyone who is interested in musical theatre or entertainment in general would find something they liked about the show, because it is so broad,” said Garrison Gibbons, Freshman, Theatre Major.

The show will be in Fulton Chapel on Wednesday April 25, Thursday April 26, Friday April 27, and Sunday April 29.
