‘Half Time’ Opening Night Party

What do you do after you’ve finished Opening Night of the new show Half Time that wowed the audience? Where do you go to celebrate the standing ovation and the cheers of the crowd? After giving a crowd pleasing performance on June 12, the cast and creatives of Half Time strolled over from the Paper Mill Playhouse to Charlie Brown’s restaurant in town to enjoy some after show activity.

Lianne Schoenwiesner of Spotlights Photography was on hand to take some photos as they arrived.

Half Time is from a book by Bob Martin and Chad Beguelin. Music is by Matthew Sklar with lyrics by Nell Benjamin and additional music by Marvin Hamlisch and Ester Dean. It is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell and co-choreographed by Nick Kenkel with music direction by Charlie Alterman.

Half Time tells the uplifting true story of ten New Jersey seniors with extraordinary dreams.  It is based on the motion picture Gotta Dance, directed, written and produced by Dori Berinstein.
