LEHS hidden talent will be on display at the “Copacabana”

Little Elm High School theater students are donning formal suits, sequins, satin, tap shoes, and feathers to create the Copacabana night club on stage for their production of “Copacabana” by Barry Manilow and lyrics by Bruce Sussman.

The story is loosely based on Manilow's hit song “Copacabana.”

Cast members dance and sing up a storm to make the show definitely something not to be missed. Michael Alonzo, Taylor Steward, and Rhiannon Houston play the lead characters in this triangle love story.

They are supported by a chorus of singers and dancers that are worth watching. Many of them performed in last year's “Bye Bye Birdie”

The Wintergard will perform in several numbers choreographed by LEHS assistant band director Celestine Sosa.

The set was designed and constructed by the junior high faculty member David Fleming. He is serving as technical director for this show. Art department students painted the set.

The show will be performed on January 15 and 16 at 7:30 p.m. On January 16 there will also be a 2 p.m. matinée performance. The January 17 performance will also be a matinée at 2 p.m. At the Sunday show there will also be a drawing for a Dell computer. Tickets are being sold for that drawing. It is not necessary to be present to win.

Tickets, available at the door, are $12 for adults, $10 for faculty and $8 for students and senior citizens 60 or older.

“This is the best display of talent of our school,” LEHS theater director and choreographer Jill Pryer said. “There's talent here at LEHS that's hidden, but it's going to be showcased in this show.”
