Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” published in 1602, is a story of marriage,
wealth, lies and jealousy. When Falstaff sets forth on a plan to hustle his way back
to being a wealthy man, it is the women of Windsor who take control and combine forces
to bring him what he is truly owed. Seduction,
deception, disguise and a little bit of love combine to provide an evening of
fun and frivolity.

Erol Ozan once said, “Dancing is creating a sculpture that is only visible for a moment.”
In the history of dance as a performance art, there have been
many magical moments recreated time and time again without ever failing to dazzle
audiences. These singularly stellar performances get ingrained in our minds and lift
our hearts.
They become pillars in the theatrical landscape of American musical theatre. In other words, they become “iconic.” Relive these iconic moments as they are recreated on the Highlander Stage.
