The Peninsula Singers 2022 Spring Show, Hooray for Hollywood!!!, is a tribute to Tinseltown’s most memorable motion picture soundtracks and outstanding Oscar-winning music hits. It’s a showcase of Hollywood’s best music with dancing, costumes, a show band, guest performers and laughter!
Artistic Director Lena Palermo has chosen the most popular songs from the Golden Age of Hollywood through today's blockbusters. You’ll hear classics like Henry Mancini’s Academy Awarding-winning ‘Moon River’, Irving Berlin’s ‘Cheek to Cheek’, ‘The Way You Look Tonight’, ‘Mona Lisa’, and the chomping suspense music from the movie Jaws. Feel the beat from the ‘80s hit ‘Flashdance’, Kenny Logan’s ‘Footloose’ and the Bee Gees ‘Night Fever’. Rejoice and clap your hands to ‘Joyful, Joyful’ from Sister Act 2, then catch your breath with Judy Garland’s signature ballad, ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’. James Bond’s iconic and legendary soundtracks like Goldfinger, Live and Let Die and Diamonds are Forever will leave you shaken and stirred. Enjoy the recent award-winning music from the musical drama The Greatest Showman along with many more of Hollywood's legendary movie music.
Master of Ceremonies, Jim Kingham, ties the show together seamlessly with engaging narration and humour. The show’s professional instrument ensemble adds rich, powerful harmonies and upbeat sounds with accompanist,Christie Norman Teal ; percussionist, Terry Erskine; and violinist, Margaret Dzbik and other talented guest musicians.
Special guest, comic/impressionist, Steve Ivings, adds a further touch of Hollywood with spot-on impressions of Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Sean Connery, Michael Caine and so many more.
You know the movies, you know the music and the Peninsula Singers know it’s a show your whole family won't want to miss! Let us entertain you!
