Orchestra, Concert Choir combine to Concert Choir and Orchestra com¬ bined efforts to produce the Broad¬ way musical, “George M.” The mu¬ sical, presented on May 31 and June 1 and 2, played to sell-out crowds. Receiving standing ovations on all three nights, “George M” was the first musical staged at Clark since 1966. The musical was based on the actual life of George M. Cohan. Cane bits and tap routines were characterized by Chris Bobos as George M. The entire effort put into the memo¬ rizing of lines, the learning of dance routines, and the singing of verses was aimed at the final performance, and yet, when it came, no one really wanted it to end. Chris Bobos portrays George M. Cohan as he leads the entire cast in a tribute to our country by singing about the flag. Jerry and his son George discuss how they are to tell whether or not the new show that they are to star in will be good. Sam Harris, played by Jerry Filipiak, assists George while he reads telegrams at the party.
