Any Dream Will Do

Musical Directors - Pamela Davies, Wendy Hewstone, Lois Parr, David Putley, Helen Sanderson, Christobel Thomas, Christopher Wortley. This year's concert is titled 'Any Dream Will Do' and is inspired by songs that make you think of dreams, home, places you remember and thoughts of things to come. The lighting and sound are good, and the concert is simply set with chairs for the cast to sit and then stand when ready to sing. The pastel colour scheme to wear was also nice with yellows, pinks, greens & blues, with black trousers or skirts which looked smart.

There is a great selection of songs, preformed as solos, duets, small groups and full ensemble - all of these are well performed. One thing I like with Waterside is they have a great selection of Musical Directors to choose from, all fully capable of taking the lead with the great singing, and conducting Rosemary Butler on the piano. It's hard to pick out any particular songs as there was so many and all of which are preformed well, however, some of my favourite are the 'Joseph Medley' to start the show, 'Let the River Run', 'Anthem' from Chess & 'Space Man' from Act 1. Special mention to 'Rivers of Babylon' with Wendy Hewstone, Lisa Phillips & Christopher Wortley - this was great. Act 2 there was a great 'Jesus Christ Superstar Medley' to start with, 'Mr Sandman', 'American Dream' headed by Christopher Wortley and ensemble, and to finish 'Raise You Up'.

We really enjoyed this year's concert and all the best for the remaining preformance. Well done.
