SunLive Competition
Award winning entertainment company Operatunity launches its 2012 season of daytime concerts with Showstoppers – a celebration of the best of Musical Theatre, featuring all those ‘showstopping’ tunes that we wait to hear and we sing along to. Husband and wife team and directors of Operatunity, Susan Boland and John Cameron, lead a stellar professional cast that includes Rutene Spooner, featured recently in Coca Cola Christmas in the Park, Angela Franklyn-Lewis, well known for music theatre roles in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and accompanist Alex Wiltshire, who spent 16 years performing internationally for such companies as Cameron Mackintosh Productions and The Really Useful Company (Andrew Lloyd-Webber’s Production Company). The show is a mix of more traditional music theatre show tunes such as ‘If I were a rich man’, ‘Some enchanted evening’, ‘New York, New York’, ‘The Student Prince Serenade’ through to the modern musicals with songs like ‘Send in the clowns’, ‘I don’t know how to love Him’ and favourites from Les Miserables. Ensemble tunes include ‘Sit down you’re rockin’ the boat’, ‘Blow Gabriel Blow’, ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ and ‘Money, money’ from Chicago in a show with something for every audience member and with every song a favourite. Showstoppers is in Tauranga February 17 at the Holy Trinity Church. The concert begins at 11am and tickets cost $30 each, lunch with the artists is included.

Every show has a song that stops the show and that we remember well after the final curtain falls.
