35 years of Compton Hospice celebration at Wolverhampton Grand
Compton Hospice is to celebrate its 35th anniversary with a special production staged at The Grand Theatre.
'Ethos - the best of times' is to be performed at Wolverhampton's Lichfield Street theatre on July 15.
Produced and directed for Compton Hospice by Jeremy Hobbs, the show will blend music, song and dance to highlight the importance of Compton from its early beginnings to its place of major importance as a hospice today.
The production is hoped to be a fitting way of reflecting on the work of the hospice and will cumulate in a performance from the 100 Voices of the Celebration Choir.
The evening will feature the highly rated composer and concert pianist Luke Faulkner with Aimee Fisher and Lauren Soley from the London cast of Les Miserables performing 'I Dreamed A Dream' and 'On My Own'.
Tony O'Rourke who will be remembered for his stunning performances at the Grand Theatre over many years as Albin in La Cage Aux Folles will be reprising his show-stopping version of 'I Am What I Am' and Alison 'The Voice' Room will tug at the heart with 'Time Heals Everything' from Mack And Mabel.
Colette Forsyth, Holly-Ann White and the dancers from MUSCOM’s award-winning company will be joined by the Denise Robinson School of Dance and the exciting new talents of Annabel Rockett. Annabel is a National Finalist in this year's Rotary International Young Musician of the Year. Violinist Karolina Tomaszewicz with Luke Faulkner will bring tears to the eyes with with the haunting 'Schindler's List'.
Members of the Compton Hospice Choir will be performing together with the 'Pure Imagination' of Nick Sullivan and the children of Newbridge Preparatory School and the celebration band under the direction of James Maddison will give rousing accompaniment to the evening's programme.
