Flashdance the Musical at Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa
Even if you haven’t seen the movie, you know the songs, and the iconic scene – water splashing down as the main character, Alex Owens, arches back in a chair.
It’s Flashdance – more than just a production, but rather, a cultural phenomenon. The songs have become so popular that since the release of the 1983 film, over 6 million copies of the album have been sold. The soundtrack also won a Grammy Award for the best original score written for a motion picture.
