The Central High School Chorus, under the direction of Melissa Stamps, will perform “CINEMAGIC”, its annual spring musical revue, tonight at The Townsend Center Performing Arts Center on the campus of UWG.
A cast of approximately 100 students will incorporate singing, dancing, and costumes in a tribute to some of the greatest songs from the movies.
“Many of the songs we will perform were written especially for certain movies by noted composers and others were previous recordings that became mainstream hits because they were included in popular movie soundtracks,” said Stamps. “Whether young or old, the show is bound to include one of those special songs that continue to play in your mind long after you leave the movie theater,” she added.
“Let’s Go To The Movies” from Annie, “What A Feeling” from Flashdance, “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” from Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, and “The Last Time I Saw Paris” from Lady Be Good are among some of the old favorites to be performed. More recent hits like “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire and “You Can’t Stop the Beat” from Hairspray have been incorporated into grand production numbers sure to energize and delight the audience.
The show’s finale is “I’ve Had the Time of My Life” from Dirty Dancing, but with a surprise twist. According to Stamps, she always lets the students decide the theme for the closing production number and this year “they definitely thought outside the box, but it should be very entertaining”.
The performance begins at 7:00pm and $6 general admission tickets will be available one hour prior to each performance.
