 Contact - a musical by Susan Stroman and John Weidman
Developed by Susan Stroman and John Weidman for the Lincoln Center Theater, CONTACT: THE MUSICAL was originally planned as a traditional two-act musical.
The final story, "Contact," is set in present-day New York, and is the story of Michael Wiley, a wildly successful advertising guy in his 40s who is wildly suicidal about his personal life.
The fact that the music for the dance play was entirely pre-recorded, and mostly from classical sources didn't sit well with either traditionalists or union musicians.

Contact is inspired by a real-life event when Susan Stroman witnessed a young woman in a short yellow dress bedazzle a succession of suitors at an after-hours Manhattan dance club.
Contact was staged on Broadway in March 2000 where it went on to win four Tony Awards including 'Best Musical' and 'Best Choreography' for Susan Stroman.

 'Contact' will be presented at the Adler Theatre, Davenport
Mention the title "Contact," and most people assume you're referring to the Jodie Foster movie or the Carl Sagan novel on which it was based.
And despite its classification as a musical (it won the 2000 Tony Award in that category), "Contact" primarily tells its story through dance -- although a diverse blend of recorded classical and contemporary music complements the choreography.
Music by Peter Tchaikovsky, Edvard Grieg and Georges Bizet underscores the emotion.

"Contact" is a "dancical." That is a popular joke among "Contact" audiences because the performance is original and unprecedented among Broadway shows.
Appearing in "Contact" since 2001, she has had months of experience to feel out her character and find her place in the story.

 'Contact' - The Musical | Theatre | Entertainment | Gay.com UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Several styles of dance (from ballet to contemporary swing) replace the text of three stories, which share the theme of interpersonal contact and the struggle of people trying to connect.
Despite the lack of original music or singing performances (the rather fabulous score consists of classical, jazz, swing and rock), the show won the 2000 Tony for best musical, amongst other awards.
Contact was the first story to be developed — written around the time of Stroman’s husband’s death (from terminal leukaemia), and based on a girl they saw together in an swing club in a NY’s meat-packing district pool hall.

 BBC - London - Entertainment - Theatre - Contact, Susan Stroman's new dance/ musical previewed -
Contact is a show quite unlike any other that's been seen on a London musical theatre stage.
For a start, though it won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2000, it's not really a musical at all - no new music was written for it, nor is any of it played live, nor does it tell a single story.
But in a field where collaboration is the name of the game, it is her work on Contact that has come most directly from her own creative impulses.

 Fred Barton Editorial: "Contact"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
August, 2004: All of the endless arguments over whether CONTACT was a musical have come and gone (its creators never claimed it was; the Tony Committee did, thereafter creating a special category for unique, unclassifiable works such as this).
All the endless arguments about the recorded music have come and gone; even as a Local 802 proponent of large orchestras, I defended CONTACT, which was inspired by an actual jukebox in an actual swing club, and built accordingly (to say nothing of its humble origins in the orchestra-prohibitive tiny Newhouse Theatre).
Maybe some CONTACT detractors haven't experienced New York's unique brand of urban alienation and isolation, or had an encounter with the Girl in the Yellow Dress (or the sexuality-appropriate equivalent).

The fact that the music for the dance play was entirely prerecorded, and mostly from classic sources didn't sit well with either traditionalists or union musicians.
Comparable to the CD of music used in Peter Shaffer's Amadeus, Contact: Music from the Broadway Show is without question a useful souvenir of an innovative, invigorating theater experience (only a few numbers are missing from the 56-minute CD), but as a listening experience, it's a real mixed bag.
The music on this CD is great, but it is better to hear them in the context of the visual presentation.
