Caution: Men at Work TAP to Perform April 7 at NC Wesleyan Rocky Mount, NC—The tap-dancing show, "Caution: Men at Work TAP" comes to the Dunn Center for the Performing Arts, Friday, April 7, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for senior or students 12-17, and $12 for youth 12 and under. For reservations, call the Belk Box Office at 252-985-5197. The performance at the Dunn Center is sponsored in part by New Mix 99.7 FM. In the tradition of "Stomp" and "Tap Dogs," "Tap" is an energetic show filled with vibrant music, physical prowess, pulsating rhythms, and spectacular showmanship. Six dancers and three band members provide a unique opportunity to witness the progression of tap dance and its rhythm from the streets of Harlem to the lights of Broadway. "Tap" combines the precision of a military drill team with the electric energy of a concert production. Don’t miss this high-speed tour into the world of tap-dancing. Rehearsals began in mid February for the National Tour of Caution: Men At Work TAP, produced by Theatrical Arts International. The original show, directed by Alfred Desio, was produced last February and premiered at the California Music Theatre in San Bernadino, with additional performances in Bakersfield. This spring the show will tour to twelve states. It features six tap dancers and three musicians. Bob Carroll, Chance Taylor, and Hiroshi Hamanishi return from the original cast. New dancers include Jimmy Fisher, Demetria Moss, and Nick Bowman. Musicians include Voyce McGinley III, Gary Ayrapetyan, and Earl Harris. Desio's invention Tap-Tronics(TM) is also used in the show. Choreography is by Alfred Desio and Louise Reichlin, with additional choreography by Chance Taylor and Thommie Retter. Music is by Adrian Henson. Allen Evenson and Joseph Henson are producers.
