"The Theatre Alliance, 1047 Northwest Blvd; Winston-Salem, will present Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida Fri., Mar. 21 - Sun. Mar. 30.

Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the young lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

With a pop-rock score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA is a modern crowd pleaser that embraces multi-cultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging, and singing.

The cast features Natasha Gore as Aida, David Joy as Ramades, and Abigail van Patter as Amneris. Directed by Jamie Lawson.  Musically directed by Tommy Jackson.  Choreographed by Zach Pfrimmer.
