OUTscene: (PRE-view) Seattle Men’s Chorus are 'Falling in Love Again' at McCaw Hall April 2 & 3!

For the 2011 Seattle Men’s Chorus (SMC) Spring concert, Falling in Love Again, the Chorus takes on the ambitious task of examining two radically different periods in German history through song. Act I, titled Life is a Cabaret recreates Berlin’s free-wheeling pre-war Weimar period that ended with Hitler’s ascendency in 1933. Nick Garrison (5thAvenue Theatre, Cabaret) will join the Chorus with Wilkommen and Cabaret, among others. Spectrum Theater dancers help interpret this riveting chapter of gay history through dance. SMC’s delightful staging, costumes, and choral arrangements for beloved tunes like Mack the Knife, Love for Sale and Falling in Love Again will not disappoint.


In sharp contrast, Act II, will feature a new commission of Jake Heggie’s For a Look or a Touch.This musical drama chronicles the relatively untouched and unknown subject of gay persecution during the Holocaust. This is Gad Beck (actor, David Pichette) and Manfred Lewin’s (operatic baritone Morgan Smith) tragic but true wartime love story. The commission is by SMC and Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. Intiman Theatre’s associate producer Andrew Russell will stage the production.
