SUMMARY:VOS Celebrates the American Musical

LOCATION:McPherson Playhouse :: #3 Centennial Square Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Victoria Operatic Society was formed in 1945 and, for the last half-century, has had a home at the McPherson Playhouse – which they mostly fill to capacity for their seven-show runs. “For the ‘Broadway’ experience you really need a big hall,” says Mary-Lynne Britt, president of VOS. “Doing shows in a church hall just wouldn’t be the same.” For this centennial gala, VOS is remounting its Broadway: Decades In Review from 2011, which has been rechristened VOS Celebrates The American Musical. Including medleys, they will showcase a hundred toe-tapping tunes from classics such as Oklahoma and contemporary shows like Wicked, Grease and Billy Elliot. “We’ll have at least 20 singer-dancers,” adds Britt. “The performers are all moving, not just standing there singing!” According to Britt, excited word-of-mouth about Broadway turned the second half of the run into a total sellout. “Audiences loved it . . . just loved it,” says Britt. “Plus we got loads of emails and phone calls telling us how great it was.” =0D=0A=
