Thank You, Gregory!
In the summer of 2003, the Capitol Center was busy planning for its grand reopening after a major renovation project. Opening night was to feature tap-dance legend Gregory Hines. Sadly, Hines passed away that summer, just three months before his scheduled Concord appearance. Now comes a magnificent tribute to the life, work and legacy of this great American artist. Thank You, Gregory! features eight world-class hoofers and three jazz musicians with multi-media projections and narrative creating a rich and diverse kaleidoscope of tap dance history, artistry, romance, rhythms and musical feet.
Additional Information:Along the way, we’ll pay tribute to not only Hines, but to many of the kings of tap dance, including Fred Astaire, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, John Bubbles, Gene Kelly, and the Nicholas Brothers; the leading ladies of Hollywood such as Ruby Keeler, Ann Miller, Eleanor Powell, and Juanita Pitts; the eccentric dancing of Ray Bolger, Donald O'Connor and Hal Leroy; and numerous unsung hoofers who were often overlooked because of race, gender, and social circumstances.
