The first six seasons that the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts was open, the man in charge of booking the Broadway in Columbus series was Adam Epstein, the president of the Theater Council of America.
I met Adam early on and he's a charming man who knows a lot about booking shows. He also knows a lot about shows, period.
For the first time, he added producer to his name.
He was a producer of "Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy," which played on Broadway for 10 weeks in the theater after "The Color Purple" closed. It was a wildly popular show.
Now it's on tour and instead of booking into the RiverCenter's Bill Heard Theatre, he's got it in the Columbus Civic Center. It can be seen at 7 p.m. April 19. Tickets are $35-$60.
The Civic Center box office is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can buy tickets at area Publix grocery stores. Call Ticketmaster to charge your tickets at 706-494-8330 or go to www.ticketmaster.com
Neil Goldberg created the show and he brought an abbreviated show to celebrate the Columbus Museum's 50th anniversary. But that was a private party. I was there and the show was great in 2003. I'm sure it's fantastic now.
My mother has already said she wants to go, so I'm sure I'll be going to see it in April.
