Broadneck Teen in Talent Machine's Upcoming 'Can-Can'

The stage of St. John’s Key Auditorium in Annapolis will be transformed back in time to Paris in the 1890’s as the Talent Machine Company brings their second summer show “Can-Can” to the stage this weekend. 

"Can-Can" is a high-energy show with music and lyrics by Cole Porter, and follows the showgirls of the Montmartre dance halls during the 1890s. The show embodies the lives, loves and pure zest for life of the more Bohemian citizens of Paris.

The 1960 film of the musical starred Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra, Louis Jourdan, Maurice Chevalier and Juliet Prowse. Famous songs from the show include “I Love Paris,” “Live and Let Live,” and, of course, “Can-Can.”

Featured in the show is talented Broadneck teen Layne Seaman who was cast in one of the coveted "Can-Can" dancer roles.

Talent Machine spokesperson Laurie Hanley said, “This family -friendly production is sure to please all ages.”

Performances are Fri. and Sat., at 7:30 p.m., and Sun. at 2 p.m. for the next two weekends. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children (7 & under) and can be ordered online at www.talentmachine.com, by phone at 410-956-0512, or at the door.

All performances will be held in the Key Auditorium at St. John’s College in Annapolis.
