Centenary Celebrations

The Bohemians Lyric Opera Company

The Bohemians, who were originally established by a customs and excise officer, celebrate their centenary year together with a raffle offering booze as the prize - all above board, of course. This is a gala concert of West End and Broadway numbers chosen from the wealth of wonderful musicals that the last century has bestowed upon us. It is a show of two halves, beginning with moving songs from classic musicals like 'West Side Story' and 'Fiddler on the Roof' and eventually progressing to light-hearted songs from contemporary shows like 'Legally Blonde' and 'Mamma Mia'. Individually, with each thoroughly accomplished soloist, and together in perfect choral unity, the Bohemians prove why they are likely to be around for another hundred years.

St. Andrew's & St. George's Church, 19 - 20 Aug, 7.30 pm, £8.00, fpp 169
