2024 Fall Program
- Diamonds
Diamonds are classic, complex, sophisticated, sharp, cold, pure, and perfect. We explore all sides of a diamond in this dramatic revue. Music inspired by jazzy film noir heists sets the scene as we follow a thief’s journey into a vault to steal a rare diamond. After scampering off with the shiny gem, a tango version of 'Diamonds are a girl's best Friend' allows our sassy and empowered villainess to sneak off once again to share the wealth with her companions. Finally the closer is a mashup of Rihanna's "Diamonds" tune and Palladio which was made mainstream by the DeBeers Diamond company commercials. She got away with it! Celebrate our thief's success as she basks in her greatest accomplishment.
