Harmonise

The programme for “Harmonise” contained a wide range of numbers from musical theatre as well as popular music, and the company were well supported by the Kathleen Knox Dancers; there was something to suit most musical tastes.

Everyone looked smart, and the colour themes reflected in the costume, stage dressing, and lighting plot complemented the programme. The performance flowed very well and moved seamlessly from one number to another.

There were many very good performances and, as the title indicated, “harmonies”, but some of the stand-out numbers for me were “Colour My World” (the Company), “Blue Suede Shoes” (Derek Crookes and the dancers), “We’ll Gather Lilacs” (Barbara Simpson), “Bring Him Home” (the Company), “Agony” (Daniel Dryden & Sean Smith) “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” (Cara Fowler, Gemma Fowler & Shauna Lebihan), and  “Mama” (Brian Leach, Graeme Smith, Jason Waldock & Daniel Dryden). The Kathleen Knox dancers performed some excellent routines including a Great Gatsby selection, Lady Gaga Medley, You Can’t Stop the Beat, and Top Hat Medley, and there was also a terrific tap solo by Rhiane Finley to “Fabulous Feet”.

This was a very enjoyable evening and the cabaret style formula of entertainment, food and the provision of a bar were well received by an appreciative audience.

Well done everyone.
