Four’s Company
Four’s Company is a talented, fun group of theatrical artists who share the joy of performing, singing and acting together while challenging themselves to develop their individual talents to the highest of standards.
We have been invited to Perform at CARNEGIE HALL in New York by Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY) in January 2016.
Our group will join other choirs from around the USA and form a massed choir to perform works by the renowned American Composer Dan Forrest.
The singers will spend at least 5 days and 4 nights in New York City in preparation for the concert with approximately 9-10 hours in rehearsals and master classes over the 5 day residency.
This invitation is a huge honour and a once in a lifetime opportunity for our performers, but it also means we have an enormous task ahead of us trying to raise enough funds to get 30 of us to New York City! We are asking for donations from our community…any little bit helps…

Fiddler on the Roof
Music by Jerry Bock, Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick,
Book by Joseph Stein
Based on Sholom Aleichem’s Tevye and his Daughters, Fiddler on the Roof is the beloved story of the small, tradition-steeped town of Anatevka, Russia, where Jews and Russians live in delicate balance.
During the course of the show, the time honoured traditions of Anatevka are both embraced and challenged by Tevye and his colourful community, as they witness his daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava, grow up and fall in love in a time of extraordinary change.
Fiddler on the Roof’s Broadway premier became the longest running Broadway musical in history, a title it maintained for almost ten years. It is a story that captures the essential human longings for love, community, success, freedom, family, and meaning.

Godspell
Music by S. Schwartz & J.M. Tebelak
This immensely successful rock opera needs little introduction, but when it was first produced on Broadway in 1971 it broke new ground in its stage treatment of the historical Jesus Christ. Based on the Gospel according to St Matthew it deals with the last days of Jesus, and includes dramatized versions of several well-known parables. And yet it is something more – a religious experience, a demonstration of joy, and a celebration of the family of man. The cast are conceived as clowns, improvising scenery and costumes, and using many well-known theatrical devices, pantomime vaudeville and varied musical styles to interpret one of humanity’s greatest events.

A Chorus Line
by M. Hamlisch, E. Kleban, J Kirkwood & N. Dante
A Chorus Line examines one day in the lives of seventeen dancers, all vying for a spot in the “chorus line” of a Broadway musical. After the first round of cuts, Zach, the director and choreographer, asks each dancer to speak about themselves. Discomfort opens into revelation, confession leads to redemption, and within the bright, outwardly homogeneous chorus, the audience begins to see each dancer’s individuality.
Based on real Broadway dancers’ stories, as told to fellow dancer and choreographer Michael Bennett, A Chorus Line is funny, heart-breaking, and refreshingly honest.
