Another TCU peforming artist making his Bass Hall debut was ballet and modern dance alum Andrew Parkhurst ’93, who served as dance captain of the traveling production of “Mamma Mia!,” which made stops in Dallas and Fort Worth in October and November. “This is one of the highlights of my career because the music and dance is so much fun,” Parkhurst says. “Those ABBA hits really get people dancing in the aisles, and that’s when it is really enjoyable.” As dance captain, Parkhurst covers all the male ensemble roles and teaches the show to new cast members. “I have to know all the movements and be ready to perform any role when cast members go on vacation or become ill,” he says. Parkhurst has worked Broadway in productions of “Guys and Dolls” and “Cabaret,” both to rave reviews. He also toured Europe extensively in Dracula in 1998. While he was in Fort Worth with “Mamma Mia!,” Parkhurst returned to TCU one morning to lead a masters classin Studio B of the Ballet Building. “Teaching is my life. It’s my job with the show, but it’s something I enjoy every day.”
