ABOUT:
As the weather chills, Rhythmically Speaking chills into playful original choreography and movement improvisations to dance to life the groovy and nostalgic Vince Guaraldi jazz tunes that compose the soundtrack beloved 1965 animated TV special “Charlie Brown Christmas,” played live by The Jazz Outlaws! Join us to experience this holiday crowd favorite: it’s cozy and affordable, you can enjoy a pint and a meal during the show, and it’s great festive fun for yuletide revelry-seekers of all backgrounds and ages.
We’re excited to be back at our cozy Winter home Amsterdam Bar & Hall revisiting holiday crowd favorite CHILL, and we’ve made some fun tweaks to keep the show fresh for folks who’ve already seen it. This unique holiday performance option is great for families: tickets for kids 4-18 are $15.00 and 0-3 year-old lap-sitters are free, the evening shows have start times that are earlier than normal for a lot of live theater, and it runs about an hour!
As the birthplace of Peanuts creator Charles Schultz, Minnesota’s capital city of St. Paul is an ideal place for this quirky production that has become a holiday tradition for many Minnesota families. Composed by Vince Guaraldi, a West-Coast jazz musician little-known past his region before the release of the celebrated TV special he scored, the soundtrack music itself has carved an aural niche in American jazz music and popular culture. Yet, until CHILL, it had never been the feature of a production of original concert jazz dance choreography.
CHILL pairs eight dynamic local dancers (Malia Craft, Doug Hooker, Sara Karimi, RS Artistic and Executive Director Erinn Liebhard, Shannon Mulcahy, Julie Marie Muscat, Kathleen Pender and Kate Sebes) with excellent live jazz quartet The Jazz Outlaws (Bob DeBoer on trumpet, Mike Hasleman on guitar, Tony Watercott on bass and Ram Zimmerman on drums) to bring the “Charlie Brown Christmas” soundtrack to life. We hope you’ll join us for some festive holiday fun!
