Do You Hear the People Sing

The Canticle Singers and Music Theatre presents "Do You Hear the People Sing" Details: Panggung Bandaraya 4th - 8th August 2004 Tickets: RM40-RM80 Available at Axcess Tickets Outlets The musical is inspired and drawn from a collection of the more elemental and spiritual songs from the earlier musicals such as Carousel, West Side Story, Fiddler on the Roof, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat; to the more recent arrivals such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, The Rose of Sharon, etc. as well as some well loved numbers. The musical numbers will be in the form of solos, mixed vocal arrangements, choral numbers and medleys and seek to reassure, cheer, reflect, impart endurance, comfort, encourage, conquer, strengthen, inspire, defend, convict, bring hope, challenge, redeem, pacify, honour, celebrate, express love and bring restoration. The production with a cast of 31 and a music ensemble of about 16 musicians who are all volunteers, will feature a preview and run for an estimated 7 performances inclusive of matinees over the weekend. Work on the production began with rehearsals for movement in February 2004 while rehearsals for the chorus began a month later. The Panggung Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur is a historical landmark which offers a wonderfully intimate theatre and great acoustics.
