Sunday Night at the Sands

This was another outstanding production from the multi talented Stagedright  company. The packed Sands  audience were treated to an evening of song and dance, including songs from West End shows and modern musical classic songs.

The show started with a full company dance routine, and this really set the tone for the evening, fifty or more young people, performing in perfect harmony, what a start!!!.

There were so many show highlights for me, but I particularly enjoyed the Carole King, ‘Beautiful’ routine, well performed by Katie Feltham, Caitlen Edmondson and a company of girls.The Mary Poppins Act1 finale was outstanding. All the famous songs performed by accomplished singers and the full company. The Jesus Christ Superstar medley was particularly memorable for me, and Joe Usher was a brilliant Judas, and Ryan Middleton was a suitably camp Herod. If I have to choose particular favourites, I would have to say the ‘Count the Overtures in 3 minutes, this involved extra quick costume changes for the participants, as they dressed in the costume of the particular overture being played at the time.This was a very clever piece of musical theatre. My other particular favourite was ‘Tears in Heaven’, Eric Clapton’s iconic  tribute to his son, who died tragically in an accident in  the USA. This was beautifully sung by Alex Bousfield.

There were far too many highlights to mention individually, but this was, as usual,  another brilliant production from Stagedright. Congratulations to everyone concerned, the production team, musical director, choreographers, lighting and sound and the back stage ladies and gentlemen, who all played there part in this wonderful production.

As always the Stagedright hospitality was exemplary.
