SHS Aida 2010
"Featuring pop-rock music created by Elton John and Tim Rice (who also brought us The Lion King), the Broadway musical “AIDA” has won numerous Tony and Grammy awards. ”AIDA” (pronounced Ah-ee-dah), is a classic love story that blends current times with the romance of ancient Egypt. Theatrically weaving the traditional motifs of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden love, the unfolding drama forces the three main characters to make choices that will forever change history. Aida is a Nubian princess slave captured by the Egyptian army captain Radames, who soon falls in love with his catch despite being engaged to Princess Amneris, daughter of the Pharaoh. As this perilous love blossoms and the plot thickens, the lovers’ options dwindle inevitably to being sequestered forever or facing an untimely death together." http://anewscafe.com/2010/04/05/shasta-high-presents-elton-john's-musical-aida/)
