Love is in the Air at Good Shepherd Lutheran College as rehearsals are well under way for the College’s show piece, Strictly Ballroom The Musical, performing at The J in May.
Adapted from Baz Luhrmann’s classic Australian movie, the stage will be brought to life through song and dance as well as high heels, big hair, sequins and feathers.
Strictly Ballroom The Musical is the inspiring story of a championship ballroom dancer, Scott, who defies all the rules to follow his heart.
Combining the story’s heart, comedy and drama with high energy dance, eye-popping sets and costumes and classic chart hits including Time After Time and Love is in the Air, this unforgettable production will make your heart soar and your feet want to dance.
Good Shepherd Lutheran College musical director Mrs Andrea Donovan said she is excited to be bringing this well-loved story to Noosa.
“We can’t wait to put on a fantastic show for not just the college community but also for the wider Noosa community,” Mrs Donovan said.
“The students have been fine tuning their performances with rehearsals for the show starting before the end of term last year.
“Every scene promises to be full of glitz and glamour as well as amazing singing and dancing.
“What also makes this musical special though is it is filled with humour, which is definitely something you would expect from the ‘over the top’ scripting that Baz Luhrmann has become renowned for.”
Adding to the exciting atmosphere, the musical will also feature a live orchestra made up of the college’s very own musicians.
“Every musical number will be backed by our very talented orchestra selected specifically to support the musical,” she said.
“The show promises to have something for everyone and we won’t be surprised to hear the audience singing along to the classic songs or even dancing in the aisles.”
Tickets are on sale now through The J website for the four performances from Thursday 23 May to Saturday 25 May including a matinee performance on the Saturday. Tickets are $28 adults and $20 child/concession.
