Picture a stage with 25 of Key West’s best-known performers.

Add a mix of Broadway show tunes, pop, even some disco.And partner voices and talents in duets.If that sounds like a prescription for a very fun evening of song and dance and acting chops, then you’ve got the idea behind the Waterfront Playhouse‘s season-opening “It Takes Two – An Evening of Duets.”Danny Weathers, Playhouse artistic director, says the lineup of talent for this one “promises to be an evening not to be missed.”Many of the best-known performers from Key West musical theater are scheduled to appear: Eric Cole, Marc Crow, Robin Deck, Kim Gordon, Deb Hudson, Joy Hawkins, Denis Hyland, Maj Johnson, Fiona Malloy, J. B. McLendon, Joe McMurray, Gayla Morgan, Mike Mulligan, Ruben Navarro, Bobby Nesbitt, Randy Roberts, Carmen Rodriguez, Gordon Ross, Vicki Roush, Rich Simone, Randy Thompson, Sandy and Dean Walters, Danny Weathers and several surprises.Guest conductor Charles Lindberg from New York will accompany the singers, with Joe Dallas on bass and Skipper Kripitz on percussion.The concert will feature such songs as “I Say A Little Prayer For You,” “It’s Almost Like Being In Love,” “Do You Want To Dance,” as well as numbers from such Broadway hits as “Hairspray,” “Spamalot,” “Into The Woods,” “A Chorus Line,” “Fiddler On The Roof,” and a finale that Weathers says “is guaranteed to have everyone jumping out of their seats.”The Friday, Nov. 18, concert includes an after-party sponsored by the Elwell family, with catering by Jennifer Cornell and Small Chef At Large. Tickets cost $72 (celebrating the Waterfront‘s 72 years). Saturday, Nov. 19., sans party afterwards, costs $50 per ticket.For tickets, call 294-5015 or visit: www.WaterfrontPlayhouse.org.Weathers said the Plathouse’s newly-redesigned website has more information for patrons and those interesting in the lineup for this season.
