Friday Geek Out: “Simply Irresistible” from Contact
Back in the spring of 2000, Contact opened to rave reviews on Broadway. It was an interesting mix of music, dance and story rolled into one three part show. The first part took place in 1767 in a forest glade. Called “Swinging” this segment had virtually no dialogue and showed an ambiguous love triangle between [...]
