Club on the Fringe

Showtune Wednesday 9th August 2006

.

Nine rotarians and partners took in some culture at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe on Wednesday 9th August.  Enticed by the appearance of club member Greig W Hill and his partner Anne Diack, a minibus was laid on to ferry the revellers to Edinburgh. 

Dinner at Song Kran in Gloucester Street set the company up for a evening of great entertainment.


SHOWTUNE; CELEBRATING THE WORDS AND MUSIC OF JERRY HERMAN
Weaving together songs from eight of his musicals to bring a fresh perspective to these classic musical standards, SHOWTUNE is a delicious smorgasbord of vintage Jerry Herman show-stoppers taking you through a life cycle of emotions.Life-affirming songs with humanity, belief in love and unquenchable optimism enveloped in genuine warmth which transcends reality - a good old-fashioned dollop of schmaltz, Uplifting and fun, incorporating hit song after hit song,

SHOWTUNE celebrates Herman’s words and music from such memorable shows as Hello, Dolly!, Mame, Mack and Mabel, and La Cage Aux Folles. Master of the songs-you-can-hum school, Herman’s numbers are a beguiling reminder that we need straightforward, easily singable melodies now more than ever. This revue is sure to please audiences, young and old alike, with its catchy melodies, toe-tapping music and its witty, knowing lyrics. UPI called SHOWTUNE, "Two hours of pure delight"! and Time Out said "Revue musicals don't come better than this!"  With a new STRICTLY SONGTIME line-up of Anne Diack, Geraldine McDade, Aileen Scott Johnson, Matthew Brown, Greig WW Hill, Ian McInnes and Iain Rowbotham
