A JOURNEY THROUGH SONG – a concert celebrating 40 Years of Musical Memories performed by SONG at Greenbank High School Theatre. Hastings Road, Southport on Sunday 14th July, 2019.
I’m never ashamed of saying this and I’ve said it a few times I must admit, but there are occasions in life when we all think “Oh I wish I was younger”, this was another of those occasions!
SONG presented West Side Story at The Atkinson as their 40th Anniversary Show.
The musical, which is inspired by Romeo and Juliet, was first staged on Broadway in 1957, and is as relevant today with the many issues highlighted in it, such as knife crime and gang culture, still topical.
This production of “West Side Story” was a wonderful choice for SONG’s 40th anniversary show.
It has music written by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, from a book by Arthur Laurents, and in its score it has many iconic musical numbers, which include Somewhere, America, Maria, and Tonight, along with a poignant dramatic script and lots of energetic movement and dance.
SONG presents our 40th Anniversary Show: West Side Story.
11th - 13th April 2019 - The Atkinson, Lord Street, Southport
Based on a Conception of JEROME ROBBINS, Book by ARTHUR LAURENTS Music by LEONARD BERNSTEIN Lyrics by STEPHEN SONDHEIM
CELEBRATE SONG....a Summer Show/Review presented by SONG at Greenbank High School, Southport on Saturday 14th July 2018.
This was my first occasion to see SONG in action, and I do hope it won’t be my last! I have said this before and I will say it again, there are occasions in life when we all think “Oh I wish I was younger”, this was one of those occasions!
When you see such talented young people, performing and enjoying their selves so much on stage – so jealous!
Georgia Harding (pictured here with with Hilary Thomson our Chair of SONG) is the latest recipient of the Brenda Whelan Award.
The Award Is given in memory of Brenda, a past Chair of SONG who never wavered in her support of the group and worked with us backstage for many years until her death.
Champion Review for All Shook Up - A CAST of 30 talented youngsters from ages 10 to 18 plus a 12 piece band under the direction of Charles Moss made this S.0.N.G. production a big family show.
Matthew Higginson showed himself to be a self-assured and accomplished stage performer in the star role of Chad, leader of a teenage rebellion against the local adults who want to outlaw loud music and ‘public necking’.
