There may not be a bouncing ball to follow during Doug Elkins' Fräulein Maria, but sing-alongs certainly aren't out of the question for this Sound of Music remix. Elkins' deconstruction has great fun with those familiar tunes and beloved scenes: Maria climbs over the mountain in basketball shorts, nuns cross-dress and the von Trapp family does hip-hop. "Elkins turns the musical on its head," says Randy Swartz, executive director of the Annenberg Center's Dance Celebration series. "It's a loving tribute that gives you a lot of the warmth and feeling you got from the original but in a completely different way. ... It's funny and somehow dear."

It will be in NYC - soon, Dec. sometime. Check it out, well worth the trip. Or, if you can't do that, catch one of the future Dance Celebration shows - lots of variety and they are all top notch.
