Governors State University (GSU) Center for Performing Arts’ will welcome “DRUMLine Live” back to its stage for the fourth time. The high-energy performance will be Saturday, Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m.
“DRUMLine Live” was created by the musical team behind the hit movies, “Drumline” and “Drumline: A New Beat.” The show embodies the soulful, high-stepping style of the historically black college marching band experience. With its riveting rhythms, bold beats and energy, “DRUMLine Live” is a show for the entire family.
The show includes musical tributes to Motown, Prince and Michael Jackson, with dazzling choreography inspired by Tina Turner and James Brown. This thrilling spectacle features musical highlights from the 1950s through the year 2000, blending hip-hop, soul, gospel and jazz.
“I guarantee people have never seen a show like this before,” said Don P. Roberts, CEO of “DRUMLine Live” and executive band consultant of “Drumline” and “Drumline: A New Beat.” “The cast of musicians and singers, led by an all-star group of percussionists, will perform extraordinary choreography that will have the audience on their feet, and dancing in the aisles, throughout the entire show!”
“DRUMLine Live” has toured all over the world and has already gained substantial worldwide attention.
