New for Morning Melodies and Seniors Concerts 2019
We are proud and excited to present a brand new concept show for the Morning Melodies marketplace. No animals were harmed in the preparations for this musical extravaganza, taking in animal music from the movies, musicals, pop charts, opera, and orchestral repertoire.
The diversity of the program promises something for everyone. From Henry Mancini’s Baby Elephant Walk to Elton John and Tim Rice’s The Lion King. From Rossini’s Thieving Magpie to Tom Jones’ What’s New Pussycat? Did you know that Patti Page re-recorded her hit song How Much is That Doggie in the Window at the age of 81 with brand new lyrics? Do you know how many pop hits have animal names in their titles? Or that you knew every word of every song?
Combining the musical quality and high energy humour that you’ve come to expect from String Fever with a wealth of themed musical masterpieces this show is guaranteed to please. Can be presented as 2×45 minute halves or an 80-90 minute performance without interval.
