Once again I was spoilt by my Sister in law Janet and Niece Elizabeth with a night out on Saturday to see "A Musical World" so I thank them and everyone who made it possible.
The Chorus of St Cecilia are a fantastic choir and actors and I have been privileged to have been invited again… This time we had the hit songs from most 'Popular and Sensational Musicals of Broadway, and once again Matthew Hardy directed a fabulous evening to a packed house at the Pavilion Theatre Gorleston.
An extra thrill was that James, Elizabeths husband, was singing, Elizabeth used to sing in the choir, their Son was with us, his face was a picture when he saw his daddy and he knew most of the words…at the age of 7 …I must say he was so good to sit through the show, and I was so happy to be with him as have not seen him for a while, also have had a really bad back and did not think I would be able to make it to go, but oh my how happy I was to be there, and of course the music took my mind off the aches and pains!!!!
The young choir are as always a joy to watch and they are future stars, some then go on to join the main choir and it is wonderful to see them grow, what voices they have and stage presence.
The main choir have the most magical voices it sends shivers down ones neck to hear some of the songs they sing.
The Piano Bass and Percussion were played so well again.
Some songs from Gypsy/Mary Poppins/Showboat/Les Miserables/My Fair Lady /Oliver/Oklahoma/ Grease /among many of the shows that the songs came from… some very magical singing from all …but Rhianne sang 'On my Own' with such soul, then Sam and Craig with 'Copa Cobana' so full of fun, the quartet singing 'Bring him Home' which always brings tears, it was so touching, and of course Sam and Max doing 'Anything you can do' from Annie Get Your Gun was just amazing, young Max also sings with the young choir so good to see how he has grown.
Thanks for a great evening what a terrific show from lovely people who spend hours training to put on these shows. This year the Charity they have chosen is The Barbara Bus Fund a charity who aims to provide the means of transport for people who need wheelchair access and cannot use public transport.
Nice to see such a great crowd who appreciated the wonderful show. also nice to see some from our jazz nights as well.
Well done as always a joy …
