Bluffton show choir fans were treated to a touch of Broadway Friday and Saturday evenings.
The Bluffton High School’s Musical Entourage performed numbers from several Broadway musicals, as well as their 2010 show choir competition routine, at their Broadway Spectacular fundraiser and dinner. The 24 choir members and six supporting band members included songs from no less than 11 different Broadway musicals, including Phantom of the Opera, Aida, Les Miserables and Wicked.
The evening began with a gourmet-style dinner, organized by Rhonda Gerber, with tables served by the students.
The show started an hour later with the full cast performing “Don’t Rain On My Parade” from Funny Girl, with Emily Harnish in the lead solo role. Over the course of the Broadway segment of the show, the full choir returned for “Song of Purple Summer” from Spring Awakening, with Mykayla Rodenbeck and Carson Addington in the feature roles, and “Johnny One Note” from Babes In Arms.
Aaron Carr, Daniel Johnson and Donald Mock combined for “That’s Your Funeral” from Oliver Twist, while Harnish, Rodenbeck, Katie Thacker, Mallory Bowman, Peyton Fugate, Jenna Feeback, Hope Gerber. Kristan Brinneman and Naomi Ifer all performed solo routines.
After a brief intermission, the full Musical Entourage cast then returned to the stage to perform its competition routine. Once again, Feebeck, Brinneman, Harnish, Thacker, Carr and Rodenbeck performed solo roles within the show, and Taylor White, added a guitar accompaniment as Harnish performed her "Mama Who Bore Me" vocal solo.
Bluffton’s show choir program will present its final show of the year at the high school on Wednesday, May 19, with seniors Harnish, Johnson and Thacker making their final appearances with Musical Entourage.
