Rehearsals are hotting up for theatre show
Cast members of Strictly Musicals 3 - the latest offering from
Darlington Operatic Society (DarlingtonOS) - are being put thorough their paces
as musical numbers within the show start to take shape.
Strictly Musicals 3 is the third offering of a series of 'songs
from the shows' style productions by DarlingtonOS, the first being back in
2013.
In this third edition audiences will be entertained with songs
from classic shows such as The King and I, Mack & Mabel and Chicago
alongside extracts from modern-day favourites such as Dear Evan Hansen,
Hamilton and The Bodyguard. There will also be examples from some lesser-known
shows such as Something Rotten, Bonnie & Clyde and Songs for a New World.
Julian Cound from DarlingtonOS said "This is one of the most
exciting stages of the rehearsal period when we see the imagination of our
director / choreographer Joanne Hand come to life as she pieces together her
amazing, original choreography to go with the stunning vocals the company have
been learning under the musical direction of Steven Hood."
"Putting a concert style production together is so much more
difficult than working on a book show. From a blank piece of paper the
production team have to create 2 hours of musical magic that offers something
for everyone and with Strictly Musicals 3 I can guarantee audiences will not be
disappointed."
Strictly Musicals 3 has a cast of 52 local, talented amateur
performers who will be working flat out over the next 9 weeks to ensure the
show is ready for opening night on Wednesday 22 April at Darlington Hippodrome.
Julian concluded "there is a massive appetite for musical
theatre here in the North East and Strictly Musicals brings the best of the
best together for two hours of magic. If you are a fan of musicals then you
will simply love Strictly Musicals 3."
Strictly Musicals 3 runs at Darlington Hippodrome from Wednesday
22 April to Saturday 2 May. Thursday 30 April is a BSL Interpreted performance
and both Friday performances will be audio described.
