See them on Broadway!

South Side High School graduate Gina Naomi Baez is currently appearing in "Under Fire," a new musical. In it, the seemingly peaceful South American country of El Mirador in truth struggles under the bloody heel of a ruthless dictator Tacho who conceals the unrest with a smoke screen of prosperity and stability. Russell Price, a young American photojournalist, is swept up in the passionate culture of a world in turmoil and is confronted with a decision that will stir his passion, challenge his personal beliefs and professional ideals as he searches for the “one picture” that will define his career and the future of a country.

The six-performance limited run, part of the 2009 New York Musical Theater Festival, will continue through Oct. 12 at the St. Clement's theater, 423 W. 46 Street.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.theatermania.com or by calling (212) 352-3101 or (866) 811-4111.

Broadway star Danny Quadrino, 17, who has studied at Leggz Ltd. Dance since he was 6, had a number of hometown visitors recently after he opened in "Bye, Bye Birdie," his first Broadway show. Quadrino plays Mitch Miller in every performance and is also the understudy for Hugo. Quadrino and his visitors from Leggz, among them Artistic Director Joan MacNaughton and premier dancer Sam Carrell, had a pre-theater dinner and a post-theater gathering backstage in the new Henry Miller Theater.
