Equal parts dance and theater, The Queue is set in a fictional international airport, where travelers stumble humorously, tragically, and awkwardly into each other’s private lives. The Queue’s influences are early 20th century forms of slapstick, vaudeville acts, Busby Berkeley style choreography, creaky 1-act plays, and a 1746 farcical play about a family inheritance. The end of this excerpt features a moment from the show in which pre-selected audience members participated in a flashmob-style choir to join the cast in singing portions of Pat Benatar’s “We Belong.” This unexpected moment sometimes resulted in other audience members joining in the singing to participate in the show as well.
Featuring ensemble members: Michel Rodriguez Cintra, Daniel Gibson, Elizabeth Luse, Marc Macaranas, Cassandra Porter, Benjamin Wardell, and Meghann Wilkinson.
