Vices; A Love Story at Caldwell Theatre

Passion! Energy! Humor!  Vices: A Love Story, playing at Caldwell Theatre starting July 8, is a sophisticated exploration of relationships told through music and dance.  The pastiche of musical styles encompasses Celine Dion, Manhattan Vices 0050Transfer, Journey, R&B, Disco, and even 1930’s Movie Musicals.  The variety of dance flavorings includes: contemporary, modern ballet, modern tap, and a variety of ballroom disciplines.  Fans of So You Think You Can Dance will be in heaven.

Caldwell has assembled a absolute “dream team” of creative artists to build our World Premiere from the ground up.

“ To have acquired this depth and breadth of artistry and have them agree to come to South Florida in the middle of summer for this project, is a testament to the quality of the material and the belief that this Caldwell production is only a beginning” says Clive Cholerton, newly appointed Artistic Director.

Vices: A Love Story is created by:  Story,  Ilene Reid and Michael Heitzman, Music and Lyrics, Everett Bradley, Susan Draus, Ilene Reid and Michael Heitzman. Reid, Heitzman and Bradley, received a Grammy nomination for their song “Throw That Girl Around” from the Broadway musical Swing.

Choreography is by AC Cuilla, the Emmy- Award winning (Stars on Ice) and Tony- nominated (Footloose) choreographer. Musical Direction from Jon Rose, who has toured extensively with Jon Secada, and Directed by Clive Cholerton

Sets are by Tim Bennett, Lighting by John Hall, Lane Starrat provides the Sound Design, and Costumes are designed by Alberto Arroyo, and state of the art projections are designed by Sean Lawson.

Says Cholerton, “ I thought long and hard on my first production as Artistic Director and found all the elements I was looking for in Vices:  A Love Story. The energy of the piece is irresistible.  The story is contemporary and involves individuals in their 20’s and 30’s.  The music is sophisticated while remaining accessible.  Above all, the show manipulates a fine line between heartfelt human emotion and outlandish comedy.  This is truly a show that will appeal to all age demographics.”

Vices: A Love Story features a cast of Natalie Venetia Belcon (Broadway-Rent, Avenue Q, Off-Broadway-The Glorious Ones), Carlos L. Encinias (Broadway-Mamma Mia,  Good Vibrations,  Les Miserables) Lara Janine (Off-Broadway in Rock of Ages) Leajato Amara Robinson (Off Broadway-Fire Throws, Shinbone Alley) and features the dancers, Holly Shunkey (National Tour-Contact) and Marcus Bellamy (Broadway-Tarzan, Spiderman (upcoming).
