For those of us who were raised on the movie, the Jitterbug is kind of an unknown. But in the stage play, it's a big dance scene that sets up the big finale in the witches castle. What is the Jitterbug? It's really left up to interpretation by each show, but it's described as some sort of diabolical monster that causes you to dance until you drop. Along with the Winkies, and the Flying Monkeys, the Jitterbug is one of the 3 branches of the evil armed forces of the Wicked Witch.
Regardless of what exactly it is, I'm certain that this is going to be incredible! Connie Rice, who is back for her third FRCS musical is pulling out all the stops for this dance number. The students involved have rehearsed it for 2 nights...and are really feeling pushed to their limits...in a good way! Connie has created some amazing numbers for our past shows and I can tell you first hand, that this one will be a performance that our audience is never going to forget.
And more importantly, it will be a performance that these students will remember for the rest of their lives. And that's the main reason we're doing this.....
