O’Connell to appear in Chicago musical

Amy O’Connell, a Lebanon native, will appear in a production of “Starting Here, Starting Now” Dec. 7 through 9 in Chicago. She is a sophomore musical theater major at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts; the play is a CCPA Mainstage production.

The musical captures the many phases of romantic involvement, from waiting for the love your life to come along to the wretched throes of the breakup. Written by Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire, it features a collection of songs about love written by the duo and compiled in 1977. Other works by Maltby and Shire include the Broadway musical “Baby,” the Fats Waller revue “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” and the score to the popular movie “Saturday Night Fever.”

In “Starting Here, Starting Now,” O’Connell is a singer/dancer in an octet named “the Belles and Beaux,” an ensemble that tells the story of the musical through song and dance.

O’Connell is a 2006 LHS graduate and the daughter of Tuttle Middle School music teacher Paul O’Connell and Southmont Choral Director Teresa O’Connell.
