"Positively revolutionary!" Contact is the most striking and original musical of the season." - Associated Press
In 2000 Contact took New York by storm winning every major award including the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League awards for Best Musical. The show was hailed by "Time" magazine for "kicking the dust off a tired old Broadway" and welcomed as "inventive, exuberant, and refreshing." Still, critics were hard-pressed to define it. A musical without singers? A dance play? A dancicial? Whatever you want to call it, Contact is irresistible to audiences and is now in its third smash year on Broadway. This dazzling evening consists of three stories, each about people in the wild pursuit of liove, brilliantly told through music and dance - everything from ballet to swing, from Tchaikovsky to Robert Palmer.
