Gala Concert"

South Devon based Musical Theatre Company, Top Hat Productions, has teamed up with the Torbay based Cascade Singers to stage a one-night-only Gala Evening at the Princess Theatre in Torquay.
The programme is a sparkling celebration of some of the world’s best-loved stage and film musicals from the musical partnership of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, and will feature favourite numbers from "Oklahoma", "The Sound of Music", "Carousel", "The King and I", "South Pacific", "State Fair" and "Flower Drum Song".
A full-scale concert orchestra (40+ Players) will accompany the ensemble of 36 singers and performers live on the stage, conducted by Carl Smith.
Top Hat’s co-founder Kevin Scarbrough said, “This promises to be a very special and unforgettable evening. We are delighted to bring together the singing talents of Cascade and Top Hat Productions for the first time, but most of all we are very excited about performing with a large orchestra live on the stage.”
“We are also honoured to be supporting The Cystinosis Foundation UK. We want to help increase awareness of this rare and debilitating disease and raise funds to help local toddler Drew Axford, his family, and others like him.”
