Dance Australia has THREE DOUBLE PASSES to give away to the world premiere of this Australian-produced musical! All you have to do is email here with ‘OFFICER Ticket Giveaway’ as your subject by COB on Wednesday May 9.
The tickets are to the preview performance at Sydney Lyric, The Star, on Wednesday May 16 at 8pm.
An Officer and a Gentleman is a new musical based on the 1982 Paramount Pictures-Lorimar movie that starred Richard Gere and Deborah Winger. It was recently listed by the American Film Institute as one of the top 10 love stories in cinema history.
The team responsible for the stage version are Ken Hirsch and Robin Lerner (music and lyrics), and Douglas Day Stewart and Sharleen Cooper Cohen (book). The director is Simon Phillips and the choreographer Andrew Hallsworth (the same team behind Priscilla, Queen of the Desert).
The talented cast that will bring this timeless story to life includes Ben Mingay (Jersey Boys) as Zack Mayo, the classic angry young man who grew up in a "sewer" and dreams of flying jets and parlaying this skill into a better life; Amanda Harrison (Wicked) as Paula Pokrifki, the young factory worker who dreams of becoming a nurse and finding a better life without selling out for it, like everyone around her; Kate Kendall (Next to Normal) as Lynette Pomeroy, Paula's best friend who is determined to marry a flier to escape her dead end life, no matter what it takes; and Alex Rathgeber (The Phantom of the Opera) as Sid Worley, the likeable Okie son of a Navy Admiral who is the class "superstar" at the Naval Academy.
Go behind the scenes and witness a rehearsal through the eyes of Sally Clark in the June/July issue of Dance Australia.
