In late June 2018, I had the pleasure to review the East Coast premiere of Half Time, a new musical adaptation of the small documentary film, Gotta Dance. Centered around the true story of a senior citizen dance troupe recruited to perform during the half-time show for the New Jersey Nets basketball team, the story is a delightful tale that explores the realities of aging in a society that values youth above all else.
I, not only enjoyed the play and its brilliant cast -- Donna McKechnie, Andre De Shields, Lilias White, Lori Ann Chinn and the late great Georgia Engel -- I was told by one enthusiastic reader that they were going to buy tickets to see the play based on my review. I can't think of more glowing praise a writer can receive in response to their work.
