It been a little while since we've gotten down to some serious rock and roll around here. Our show Changes (a science fiction tap opera to the music of David Bowie...in case you didn't know) was really the last time we've used good old rock and roll music. The trouble is, with Bowie being pretty much the ultimate in epic-ly fun and flamboyant rock and roll, where do you go from there? The obvious answer of course is Queen. We are proud to say that this time, we're going with the obvious answer.

We have been jamming out to a selection of Queen hits for the past couple weeks and not surprisingly, it's been a blast. In between learning some kick-ass classic Mark Yonally tap, we've been busy jamming out like a teenager in their bedroom - just shy of the brush microphone. The good news for us (and you) is that it's only going to get more fun. Soon we will begin exploring collaborations with a full choir, marching band, and maybe even bicycles as we create what I think will only be able to be described as a Queen Tap Spectacular.

Your final nugget of behind the scenes CTT action comes in the form of a direct quote from Yonally himself. When asked about costumes today, he said he wants them to be like "Barbarella meets David Bowie and has a slap fight." The following is a visual representation of what this piece looks vaguely like so far:
