[We received this by email earlier this morning and are pleased to share this community event information with you]
Dear friends,
Last fall I had the opportunity to work with a great group of people on an event called "Oshkosh Performs Broadway". The concept was simple-- everyday Oshkosh people, suddenly performing Broadway showtunes, all for a good cause. If you missed it, you missed something!But-- it's not too late!
"Oshkosh Performs Broadway" will be reprised on April 1 to benefit the UW Health Care Center/Michael D. Wachtel Cancer Center at Mercy Medical Center. We'll all be taking the stage at The Grand for a good cause --- and here's some highlights:
Miss Oshkosh, Janelle Larie. Her first "onstage" appearance (at least at The Grand) since winning the crown-- and wait till you hear the pipes on this girl!
Susy Vette, the queen of fundraising (she HATES when I call her that!), boa and all, performing "When You're Good to Mama" from CHICAGO.
Councilors Meredith Scheuermann and Paul Esslinger, TOGETHER ON STAGE,performing their own spirited version of "Anything You Can Do, I Can DoBetter."
City Manager Richard Wollangk and State Rep. Gregg Underheim, each with solo turns.
Look for a special appearance by County Exec Mark Harris, too!
Community leaders Vicki Schorse, Judi Haymon, Gary Konrad, Peg Larson, Fr.Carl Schmitt, Sue Panek all have featured roles as well. Harriet Martin and John Weinsheim are narrators.
And me? I get to perform a couple of songs from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, here at The Grand....furthering the opinion that I am destined (doomed?) to become the Phantom of The Grand. The talented Kelly Schwegel, principal of Merrill Elementary, lights it up onstage as Christine.
We're all having fun.....a group you might not usually find together, and CERTAINLY not performing the song-and-dance we do together to open the show!
Sure, its $22.50 per person, to watch locals onstage, but its a terrific cause, and I can promise you a spirited performance!
More details are at: http://www.grandoperahouse.org/events/special/oshbroadway.html. You can even buy tickets online.Come and join us--- we're having a blast and all we need to make this a successful event is you!
