The next show in the Border Concert Association series, Two On Tap, is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Backus Community Center.
Two On Tap marks the creative collaboration of two celebrated musical theater performers — and longtime friends — Melissa Giattino and Ron DeStefano. Their combined love for the melodies from the early days of Broadway along with the classic precision of tap choreography take center stage in their hit show, “A Tribute to Song and Dance,” according to organizers.
Reveling in the chemistry and artistry of iconic song-and-dance couples like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, A Tribute to Song and Dance, shows why those famous dancing duos continue to impress, say organizers.
Giattino and DeStefano interweave a lot of their trademark tapping with audience favorites like: “Yes Sir, That’s My Baby”; “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter”; “On the Sunny Side of the Street”; “Tea for Two”; “You Made Me Love You”; “If You Knew Susie, Like I Know Suzie” and several other Tin Pan Alley favorites, according to the same release.
Both Giattino and DeStefano have spectacular Broadway careers in addition to their Two On Tap tours throughout the U.S., say organizers. Their piano accompanist will also be featured from time to time playing piano favorites of the era.
