Donna Summer musical in South Florida is sidelined by COVID. What’s next for the show?
COVID dimmed all the lights.
Donna Summer music fans, sorry to disappoint: The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach has postponed this week’s performance of “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.”
Just as you probably assumed at this point in the pandemic, several people involved with the production tested positive for breakthrough cases of the virus still consuming the world.
Organizers said the rescheduled dates for the tribute, with covers of the late, great disco singer’s songs, are set for May 20-26, at the Dreyfoos Concert Hall at the Kravis.
If you have tickets for the jukebox musical, which was a five-day, eight performance run set to begin Wednesday night, you will receive new tickets before the May performances.
Summer would have turned 73 last Friday. The Boston native died of cancer in May 2012.
The show , which hit Broadway in 2018, covers her life and her music, which includes such huge 1970s disco-ball hits as “Bad Girls,” “Last Dance,” “Hot Stuff,” “Love to Love You Baby” and “On the Radio.” Three actresses play Summer at various ages.
