That's Entertainment

Twelve performers, a stage manager, sound, lighting and a few props, and off we went on a fabulous journey celebrating  songs from the silver screen. The last Runway production I attended was their Christmas Concert in December 2019, and it was a delight to be back being thoroughly entertained by this very talented company. Each and every singer brought storytelling through their great vocal talents, from That’s Entertainment to Moulin Rouge, and The Greatest Showman and Hello, Dolly! to High Society. Tributes to Doris Day and Judy Garland displayed a wide range of vocal ability, and it was great to hear and remember the theme tunes from James Bond movies. With a contribution of reflective dance smattered throughout the concert, it all made for a fantastic evening. Of course, we never get away from an evening at a Runway concert without a few jokes from Robert and Ken thrown in for good measure, and as Robert quite rightly said we’ve missed 2 years of Panto!

A simple backdrop, some additional decoration and props, and with Runway’s own silver screens, the production ran very smoothly and brought well needed entertainment to the audience. The sweets given out at the interval was a nice touch, and as always Runway took the opportunity to raise money for their chosen charity – Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.  Well done once again to Runway for their celebration of songs from the silver screen, and I’m sure everyone left with a spring in their step, taking away their own memories from the range of songs brought to them. Thank you!
