Ballet Theatre of Toledo (BTT) presents “The Great Pancake Escape,” a humorous and fun-filled ballet about a magician who accidentally mixes up his magic spells with a recipe for pancakes. Tickets cost $25 and are available now for performances on March 22 at 7 p.m. and March 23 at 2 p.m. at the Lourdes University Franciscan Center.
In this ballet, pancakes come to life and escape throughout the city while the magician and his family set out to bring them home. The show features Toledo magician, Andrew Martin, with jazz musicians, including composer David Jex, and BTT dancers with choreography by Artistic Director Nigel Burgoine. Local TV personality, Tony Geftos will narrate the book written by Paul Many.
“This production’s recipe of dancing, magic, music and a good book will have you laughing and dancing down the street,” said Mr. Burgoine.
As a special treat, Scramblers restaurant is providing vouchers for a free order of pancakes to everyone that comes to the performance.
In addition to the two public performances, there is a student show on Friday, March 22 at 10 a.m. Contact BTT for information on pricing and reservations.
