UT Students Perform Broadway Hit “Baby” at Falk Theatre
“Baby,” a musical, will be performed by University of Tampa students in Falk Theatre on Nov. 21, 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. and on Nov. 24 at 2 p.m. Falk Theatre is located at 428 W. Kennedy Blvd.
The show is presented by the UT Department of Speech, Theatre and Dance.
The original production of “Baby” had a successful run on Broadway from 1983 to 1984. Liz Callaway, the original Lizzie in “Baby” and the singing voice of Anastasia from the animated film Anastasia, will be at the show on Nov. 22 to do a talkback (an informal discussion) with the audience about creating the iconic role.
“Baby” is a tribute to motherhood, fatherhood and new life. The musical focuses on three couples and their journey to parenthood: Danny and Lizzie, college students; Nick and Pam, a couple in their 30s; and Alan and Arlene, a couple in their 40s. “Baby” features a score by David Shire and Richard Maltby. The student musical is directed by Paul Finocchiaro, UT professor of theatre.
Regular admission for the general public is $15. Senior citizens and non-UT students with ID are $10. The show is free for UT students, faculty and staff. The box office will open one hour prior to each performance and accepts cash, checks and debit cards. To reserve tickets prior to the show, call (813) 253-6243.
The show is presented by the UT Department of Speech, Theatre and Dance. For more information about the show, contact Finocchiaro at pfinocchiaro@ut.edu or (813) 253-6243.
