Doug Elkins & Friends: Fräulein Maria (Family Matinee) - Lincoln Center Out of Doors

FAMILY DAY Choreographed by Doug Elkins in collaboration with the dancers Co-Directed by Barbara Karger and Michael Preston Expanded version commissioned by Lincoln Center for Lincoln Center Out of Doors Presented in cooperation with Dancenow [NYC] “But most astonishing was the choreographer himself, in a liquid solo to ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain…’ The depths hinted at here and in other strange pockets of ‘Fräulein Maria’ point to a smart, sensitive mind. Forget mountains: get this man back to a bigger stage.” — The New York Times Doug Elkins brings a kinetic twist to the timeless classic The Sound of Music, with hip hop-influenced lonely goatherds and other urban updates. The show features a cast of downtown dance all-stars including Elkins, vogue icon Archie Burnett, choreographer David Parker, new vaudevillian Mark Gindick, baritone Johnnie Moore, and, of course, a luscious score by Rodgers & Hammerstein.
