As Canada''s most creative fashion designers present their Spring/Summer 2005 collections for critical and buyer consideration on the Toronto Fashion Week runway next week, one of North
America''s leading musical theatre writers and producers, David Warrack, will preview his own vision for "Catwalk", the lavish new musical production currently in casting and development (book by J. Sean Elliot, music and lyrics by David Warrack), with the premiere planned to kick off Toronto Fashion Week next spring.
Toronto Fashion Week patrons will be treated to a behind-the-scenes showcase of this brilliant work-in-progress, in a rare opportunity to witness how it all happens from the earliest showcase stage, when audience reaction is key to molding the future of the finished production.
The "Catwalk" preview, at 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 21st, will feature some of the country''s leading stage performers and experienced show musicians presenting a 20-minute capsulated version of an important new musical, leading smoothly into the polished La Vie en Rose presentation of the retail sector''s most exciting and elegant lingerie for Spring/Summer 2005.
Warrack and Elliot''s "Catwalk" tells the story in song and dance of Yazi Tauruba''s amazing ten-day journey from walking into the BR Agency to becoming a supermodel sensation overnight after an appearance at a major New York fashion design presentation.
The live orchestra participating will be a seven-piece segment of what will ultimately comprise the full-size pit orchestra when "Catwalk" premieres at the Winter Garden Theatre next March. The excerpt on the Liberty Grand runway will feature five musical numbers.
Performers who will appear in the "Catwalk" showcase possess impressive performance credentials both individually and collectively. |
