University of Central Arkansas issued the following announcement Nov. 10.
The University of Central Arkansas Reynolds Performance Hall welcomes “An Officer and a Gentleman,” a new musical based on the Oscar-winning film and original screenplay by Douglas Day Stewart, on Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 pm.
“Like all good stories, ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ is set in a specific world with its own culture, customs and costumes—the U.S. Navy,” said book writer and director Dick Scanlan. “And like all great stories, its themes are universal: love, valor and the ways in which our reasons for pursuing a dream determine whether or not we’ll achieve it.”
Featuring a score based on the 1980’s catalog of music, the musical includes hits from Rick Springfield, Styx, Debbie Gibson, Richard Marx, Wilson Phillips and Pat Benatar, as well as the Grammy-winning hit single “Up Where We Belong,” sung by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes.
