Friend, choreographer, vegan, Gabriel Kahane collaborator, and Most Importantly, Life’s a Pitch <\/i>interview subject<\/a> and reader, Chase Brock is the model for a new Wii game, “Dance on Broadway”<\/a>! This excellent news comes via Broadway World <\/i>dot com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Whoa, Nellie!” and “Mirror Mirror,” highlight the Chase Brock Experience season at the Connelly Theater, July 8 – 11. “Whoa, Nellie!,” set to Nellie McKay’s album “Obligatory  Villagers,” and “Mirror Mirror,” set to a commissioned piano score by award-winning Broadway and opera composer Michael John LaChiusa, are as different as night from day.<\/p>\n

 …Wii AND THEE: Following the show, audience members are invited to have their own fun dancing in the Connelly lobby where there will be stations featuring the recently released Wii game, “Dance on Broadway,” which Brock choreographed.<\/b> Ticket holders are encouraged to learn the dances and compete with each other by mimicking the moves of the avatars on the screens. The  Chase Brock Experience dancers served as models for the game’s avatars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think we may have found the one video game in the history of video games that I’ll be able to play successfully. Of course this means that, in addition to buying Rock Band<\/a>, First Chair Promotion will need to purchase a Wii, all in the name of business, clearly. Dear Accountant…<\/p>\n

You can play “Dance on Broadway” at the Chase Brock Experience performances tonight and this weekend<\/a>. And as with the Rock Band station at the Bang on a Can marathon, if you see me hippy dancing to Let the Sunshine In, <\/i>no posting on YouTube. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
