Broadway’s Next H!T Musical Comes to ABAC November 29th

Staff Report From Tifton CEO

Thursday, November 15th, 2018

Improvisational, impromptu, and impossible to guess what happens next are all on the bill when Broadway’s Next H!T Musical comes to Howard Auditorium at 7 p.m. on Nov. 29 at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.

Fresh songs, new scenes, and different comedy every night, Broadway’s Next H!T Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Audience involvement keeps everyone engaged in a spontaneous evening of music, humor, and laughter.

ABAC Arts Connection Director Wayne Jones looks forward to the show, which is a part of the ABAC Presents! Performing Arts Series.

“It’s a really fun show that involves the audience from the minute they walk in the door of Howard Auditorium,” Jones said.  “Cast members gather made-up hit song suggestions from the audience.  The audience then votes for its favorite song and watches as the cast turns it into a full blown improvised musical scene, complete with memorable characters, witty dialogue and plot twists galore.  It’s a ton of fun.”

Under the direction of improv veterans Rob Schiffmann and Deb Rabbai, “TheaterWeek” called the show “brilliant” and “The New York Post” termed it “remarkable.”

Other performances remaining in the ABAC performing arts series include “The Crucible” on Feb. 7, the Albany Symphony Orchestra featuring Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play on March 3, the Turtle Island String Quartet on March 28, and Byron Stripling with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble on April 18.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.purplepass.com/abac or at the box office prior to the event.  A limited number of tickets will be available at the door at a cost of $25 for adults and $10 for students who are 18 and under. ABAC students are admitted free with their student ID cards.
