This Could Be THE START OF SOMETHING BIG!

Direct from New York, Duane McDevitt and Michele McConnell perform the World Premiere of This Could Be The Start Of Something Big! at The Oakhill Mansion in Carmel (5801 E. 116th Street, Carmel, IN 46033) for two nights only May 28 and May 29, 2008.

Duane and Michele first met here in Indianapolis while working with the Indianapolis Opera's production of Tosca almost 15 years ago. "I fell for a nun," Duane says, "well, at least she was playing one at the time."

Their musical marriage, which has spanned over a decade, has now come full circle, returning to where it all started and perform their exciting new cabaret - specially created just for you! They have traveled all around the globe having performed in Theatre, Musical Theatre, Opera, Operetta, and Symphony Orchestra Concerts as well as having delighted the most discriminating of audiences on some of the world's most luxurious ocean liners. A few career musical highlights include performing opposite one another in Showboat, performing with Robert Goulet in his final tour of Camelot, and Duane's solo engagement at Carnegie Hall.

Michele is a graduate of Mount Vernon High School (Fortville, Indiana) and Butler University. "It's great to be back in my home town performing again," says Michele. "We have performed our act around the world and now it's time to bring it home. We are going to sing some of your favorites from yesteryear. Think Steve and Eydie, Fred and Ginger, and MacDonald and Eddy just to name a few."

Duane and Michele believe in being musically diverse, and this show is no exception. This Could Be THE START OF SOMETHING BIG! will feature musical numbers from Broadway, Swing, and Operetta - all blended together. "We are so fortunate to be able to make music together, and we can't wait to share it with you, Indianapolis."

Tickets to This Could Be THE START OF SOMETHING BIG! are $45.00 each and includes dinner with the show. This is a limited engagement presented only May 28 & May 29, 2008: 6:00 PM Cash Bar - 6:30 PM Buffet Dinner - 7:30 PM Show.
