Loading ...6 Dance Lessons in 6 Weeks
Constance Towers and Jason Graae start in Richard Alfieri Broadway comedy
It’s a little gem! Sadly, Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks ends its short run at the Rose Theatre in Brampton on January 17. But we were fortunate to catch it.
This witty comedy was sensitively written by Richard Alfieri and brought to life by two dynamic actors who drew us into the laugh-out-loud comedy and the touching pathos in this bittersweet story about the nature of friendship. Lily, a 72-year old widow played masterfully by the most elegant star of stage and screen Constance Towers, 76, (most known for her work on General Hospital, and middle-aged dance instructor Michael, engagingly played with panache by musical theatre star Jason Graae, 51, used foxtrot, tango and waltz to uncover lessons about love, loss and redemption.
The on-stage chemistry between these two long-term friends is dynamic and engaging. We truly enjoyed every minute of the show. If it’s too late for you to catch a performance at the Rose Theatre, keep your eye out for it on your travels. It’s worth it.
