The Dik and Mitzi Anniversary Show. The Dik and Mitzi Anniversary Show is a dazzling musical romance that follows a show business love relationship through time. Filled with songs, dance, novelty numbers, slapstick, and intricate tap routines, Dik and Mitzi make the audience believe, like an old black-and-white musical, that love still exists for those who choose to see it. Running time: 90 minutes with one intermission Recommended for ages 5 and above. Theirs is a tale of innocence, connection and miscommunication due to their myopic way of expressing joy, sorrow, and life-changing events. The story begins as the couple is celebrating their 1st-year wedding anniversary. Breaking the fourth wall, Dik and Mitzi recreate several events from the first year of their marriage. The time frame jumps to the 7-year itch, then builds to a crescendo dance that blends into a built-in encore number of their wedding dance as octogenarians some 50 years later. The Artists Wayne Doba and Andrea Conway-Doba are the kind of couple that gives one hope – not just for the future of the circus and the theatre, but for the triumph of romantic love. True partners in life and on stage, Wayne and Andrea (or Dik and Mitzi as they are know to both the audience and to everyone in the tent) are classic vaudeville entertainers in the old style, a song and tap dance duo. And, like most performers, they are on an endless journey of constant comic exploration, always searching for new material and new sources of inspiration. It was a real pleasure spending a little bit of time with them, listening to their story – a true love story – and learning how their adventurous spirits keep them ever present, going forward. Actress, dancer and acrobat Andrea Conway-Doba spent eight years with Cirque du Soleil, touring with Saltimbanco throughout Asia, Europe and North America and created one of that show’s most memorable characters, the enticing and sexy Baroque. An accomplished athlete, Andrea was a member of Canada’s national gymnastics team and earned a Bronze Medal in the 1987 Pan-American Games. She joined Teatro ZinZanni in our San Francisco tent in 2000. Hailed by Donald O’Connor as a “throwback to the old Vaudeville days,” actor, dancer and comedian Wayne Doba has performed professionally for almost three decades. An original cast member, Wayne created the character of tap-dancing waiter Dick Nimby especially for Teatro ZinZanni. He has also shared the stage with dance legends such as the Nicholas Brothers and Honi Coles. His stage and screen credits reflect the diversity of Wayne’s experience and talent and include the role of The Creature in classic horror flick, The Funhouse, Octavio the Clown in Brian De Palma’s gang buster hit, Scarface, and an appearance as Tex the Barker in the Prague debut of The Freak Show, an opera by enigmatic rockers The Residents. In celebration of their fifth wedding anniversary, Wayne and Andrea have recently created The Dick and Mitzi Anniversary Show.
