BGMC Presents extrABBAganza!
As part of its annual Pride festivities, this weekend the Boston Gay Men's Chorus will be presenting extrABBAganza, a lively celebration of the music of ABBA. (Think Mamma Mia!, but without the women.)
The concert will feature such insidiously tuneful ditties as "Take a Chance on Me," "Thank You for the Music," "Gimme Gimme Gimme," "Voulez Vous," and of course "Dancing Queen."
But, more important, dear reader, the concert features your humble blogger hoofing his little tuches off as part of a seemingly ubiquitous dancing chorus. I and my fellow terpsichorean muses will be interpreting three numbers throughout the show, choreographed by the lovely and talented Michelle Chasse.
C'mon: you know you're fascinated by the prospect of 150 aging gay men warbling 30-year-old pop tunes and donning sequined spandex jumpsuits. How could you NOT be? Even my chiropractor is coming, and he hates showtunes. The shows are this Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights, and tickets are available at the BGMC Web site, or at the Cutler Majestic box office.
Sorry I'm a little late with this, but break a leg! And next year, try to convince the chorus to have a Sunday matinee. Unfortunately, that's pretty much the only time I can make it to Boston for a show. I'd love to see you on stage!
