Amongst the dilapidated remains of the roller skating rink she owns, Italian-American widow Anna (Tony Award winner Beth Leavel) considers her future. But the return of her aimless and free-spirited daughter Angel (Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller) spurs an emotional collision and a trip down memory lane. Featuring iconic songs including “Colored Lights” and “Chief Cook and Bottle Washer” by legendary songwriting duo John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago) and with a book by five-time Tony Award-winning playwright Terrence McNally (Kiss of the Spiderwoman, Ragtime), The Rink is a searing and darkly funny musical about family, reconciliation, and what it takes to move on in life.
The concert will take place on Monday, September 15 at 7pm at CSC’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater. The evening will be directed by Dave Solomon, with music direction by Greg Jarrett (Kiss of the Spider Woman The Movie), choreography by Shannon Lewis (Just in Time), music supervision by Sam Davis (Kiss of the Spider Woman The Movie),
The Rink was originally produced on Broadway in 1984, starring Chita Rivera and Liza Minnelli.
