Kubo has choreographed and directed such Piedmont Players Theatre hits as “Dreamgirls,” “The Color Purple,” “Spamalot” and “Leap Of Faith.”
He will also be choreographing “Chicago” this spring.
Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she reported on.
The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the “celebrity criminal.”
Bob Fosse choreographed the original production, and his style is strongly identified with the show.
The Broadway revival holds the record for the longest-running musical revival and the longest-running American musical in Broadway history, and is the third longest-running show in Broadway history having played more than 6,700 performances.
