Revival Theatre Company presents the musical “Chaplin,” May 30 – June 2 in the Dows Fine Arts Center at Coe College.
After a short Broadway run, Christopher Curtis, who wrote the music and lyrics, went back to work on the project, adding and changing some scenes and numbers. The Cedar Rapids production will be the very first look at this new version. Curtis has worked closely with Revival Theatre in putting the show together, sending edits and additions right into recent rehearsals.
Director Brian Glick and the production staff are leaning in to the look of early cinema for the show, using black and white costumes and makeup, and transforming Dows theatre into a movie soundstage. Brian says that people who have seen title character Zane Hadish in full costume photos, actually thought they were looking at a vintage photo of Chaplain himself.
May 30 – June 2. Tickets and information at www.revivaltheatrecompany.com.
