MAKING THE LEAP
This is the scary part where actor Scott Bakula and
the 1953 film "The Band Wagon" close their eyes, hold hands and jump from the
screen onto the stage of San Diego's Old Globe for the world premiere of
"Dancing in the Dark," an adaptation renamed for one of the film's hit songs.
Bakula, pictured with Mara Davi, draws from his Broadway career to re-create the
role of Tony Hunter, played in the film by Fred Astaire. "There won't be anyone
mistaking that I'm Fred Astaire," he says. But this is coming from an actor who
once learned to play the banjo for a film.
7 p.m. Tue.-Wed., 8 p.m. Thu.-Fri., 2 and 8 p.m. Sat., 2 and 7 p.m. Sun., ends
April 13. 1363 Old Globe Way. $52 - $79. (619) 234-5623;
