A Christmas gathering for a few friends is set to be transformed into a seasonal showcase with the Loughborough College Winter Warmer.
When a party host decides to buy drinks instead of pay his broadband bill, his performing arts student guests are of course only too happy to provide the entertainment themselves with song, dance – and a powerful message.
Amongst hits like Santa Baby, Rockin’ Robin and All I Want for Christmas Is You, there will be a performance highlighting the hardship many will experience at this time of year.
“We have chosen a jukebox musical theme for a dozen of our second year students to bring together a range of songs, dances and spoken word for all the family to enjoy.
“This includes a beautiful dance to River by Joni Mitchell, a ‘fifties medley, a vocal harmony of The Rose and a beat box version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - as well as plenty of chances to sing along to festive favourites,” said Loughborough College creative arts lecturer Vicki Calvert-Gooch.
“There will also be a movement piece to an acoustic version of Another Day In Paradise which we hope will raise awareness of homelessness and local charity The Bridge, who we will be raising funds for with a forthcoming show.”
The Winter Warmer is on Thursday 20 December at 7.00pm in the Loughborough College theatre. Tickets are on sale at the Box Office café for £4.00 each.
