Britain's What's On Event Guide
BROADWAY comes to BRACKLEY!!
On Saturday 1st July 2023 @ 7.30pm, Brackley Jubilee Choir present an exciting Summer Musical Extravaganza at the Egerton Hall , Brackley, to perform Choral Medleys from ‘KISS ME, KATE’, WEST SIDE STORY’ and George Shearing’s – Shakespeare’s SONGS and SONNETS.
Shakespeare’s literary masterpieces, Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew have provided the inspiration for the memorable and much loved songs and music for the Broadway productions of both Cole Porter’s ‘KISS ME, KATE’, first performed in Dec 1948, and Leonard Bernstien’s, ‘WEST SIDE STORY’ which opened in September 1957. George Shearing’s later 1999 production of ‘SONGS and SONNETS’, again endorsed the influence of Shakespeare on modern composers and these musicals have continued to thrill audiences since their earliest inception.
Chair of Brackley Jubilee Choir, Auriel Warwick said: “This concert is taking place in an alternative venue to the usual St Peter’s Church, Brackley, and we are delighted to be able to perform a lighter music programme at Brackley’s newest events venue, Egerton Hall, located right at the heart of Brackley’s most recent community development at Radstone Fields ………………”.
“………..Brackley Jubilee Choir has been part of Brackley’s cultural life for the past 46 years and Egerton Hall provides us with an opportunity to welcome both regular and new audience members from the growing Brackley and District community to join us for what we anticipate will be an enjoyable and entertaining event. Those who plan to be with us are reminded to please bring their ‘Jazz Hands’ with them, and be ready sing and dance the night away!!”
