Musical Theatre Enrichment Performance
Posted on Wednesday 26 May 2010
Talented students, imaginative direction, evocative lighting
The Musical Theatre Enrichment Group bowed out this year with a suitably uplifting and entertaining performance at the Prospect Theatre on Tuesday 25th May. This small group of very talented musical theatre performers coped admirably with the unique challenges that this type of performance presents with sumptuous sounding harmonies, tricky duets, intricate musical counterpoints and pathos and comedy through song.
The ensemble supported each of the numbers with strength and a rousing sense of the emotion necessary and although it was difficult to pick out any individuals for special praise as all played their part well, Dianna Field’s superb rendition of the Diva’s Lament from Spamalot was infused with power and longing and The Actuary Song from the off-Broadway musical “I Love you Because” was wonderfully performed by Katie Goodsell and Chloe East.
Stephen Dutton, Musical Director, was the inspiration behind the show and Jack Salzman’s evocative lighting design added feeling and intimacy to this great College show.
