Musical Revues at UR!

by Dan Allan

OBOC is the University of Rochester’s only musical theater performing group. Each semester, we present a musical revue with numbers from a great variety of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. The revues are produced, directed, choreographed, accompanied, musically arranged, costumed, and performed by students.

Auditions play a role in casting smaller numbers, but the group is open to anyone who enjoys musical theater. Celebrating our tenth anniversary this fall, our ranks have swelled to over seventy singers, dancers, and musicians!

Check out the side panels to learn more about the group. In the articles below, we keep each other up to date about musical theater happenings on campus, in the local area, and on the Internet.

  • What Can I Do?

    • Sing & Dance Join our cast! Enjoy the music of classic B'way shows and new ones too.
    • Play We're always looking for talented musicians to join our pit orhcestra.
    • Transcribe Students write custom arrangements for our pit orchestra.
    • Write The zany skits between musical numbers are, of course, student-written.
    • Design We need an artistic flair for everything from lighting design to poster design to T-shirt design to (hmm) website design.
    • Costume Help us use our costume resources. We've got a closet of eclectic clothing and a budget to spend!
    • Direct / Choreograph Students propose songs to the group, and direct (or co-direct) their song if it is voted in. You can direct as early as your first semester with OBOC.
