In June 2009,
it will be twenty-five years since Brian & I founded Queensland
Musical Theatre. To mark the occasion, in October/November we will be
presenting a series of Gala Concerts. This will incorporate scenes
from many of our past Shows – Broadway, Operetta et cetera – and a
selection of Gilbert & Sullivan, presented by the “gentlemen”
themselves! Also, there will be a presentation of choral numbers for
which we are famous – the “True Sound” of QMT when all our voices
combine.
I am hoping that many of our past, and of course our
present, Members – Principals, Chorus, Dancers, Musicians - will join
us for this great occasion. It will be so much more fulfilling than
just “doing a Show” as there will be something for everybody. A Big
Band/Orchestra will accompany us on Stage.
Just to refresh your memory, some of the Broadway Shows
we have presented are:- Annie Get Your Gun, The Music Man,
Calamity Jane, Call Me Madam!, Mame, Anything
Goes!, Carousel, Oklahoma!, South Pacific,
My Fair Lady, Brigadoon, Kiss Me Kate!, Oliver!,
Rodgers, Hart & Hammerstein, and Les Misérables; and
from Operetta:- Bitter Sweet, Show Boat, White Horse
Inn, The Merry Widow, The Belle of New York and
Merrie England.
Performances:
Brolga Theatre, Maryborough (10 October), AVEO, Durack (24 October)
Judith Wright Centre for the Arts, Fortitude Valley (7/8 November)
