The
Hills of NJ Are Alive in "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music"
The NEW JERSEY
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (One Center Street, Newark, NJ - 888-466-5722
- http://www.njpac.org)
presents the interactive "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music" ® the internationally
popular audience participation celebration of the beloved movie musical,
with a costume contest ® for one performance only in Prudential Hall
on Saturday, October 25th, at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $11, $16 and $21.
A worldwide
sensation since its premiere in England in 1999, "Sing-a-Long Sound
of Music" is a screening of the Oscar-winning 1965 film musical "The
Sound of Music" (based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway hit)
in all its wide-screen Technicolor glory ® this time, with subtitles
for the songs so the entire audience can join in and sing along.
The fun begins
with a vocal warm-up led by the evening's host, who also takes the
audience through their complimentary "magic moments pack," containing
various props to be used at strategic moments throughout the film.
The costume competition that follows has become one of the most popular
aspects of "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music," for which everyone who attends
is invited to dress as a favorite character in the film. Entries in
the past have included nuns of both genders, girls (and boys) "in
white dresses with blue satin sashes," a plumber (in reference to
the film's co-star Christopher Plummer) and the inevitable Lonely
Goatherd.
Ever since
it was first presented in London's West End at the Prince Charles
Cinema in 1999, "Sing-a-Long Sound of Music" has become a cult favorite
with audiences who love "The Sound of Music," one of the most popular
and successful films ever made, starring Julie Andrews. From Oslo
to Melbourne, fans have filled theaters, dressing up and singing along
in celebration of the enduring musical. Among the celebrities who
have become fans are Sir Elton John, Carrie Fisher, Hugh Grant, Dan
Ackroyd., Neil Tennant of The Pet Shop Boys and many more.
