Encore!
Basin Community Theatre show samples the music of Broadway
MOSES LAKE — The tunes that made Broadway great will fill the air, as Basin Community Theatre presents “Encore! A Broadway Musical Review” this month. “We've taken favorite musicals from our cast and from our director, and put a show together,” said producer Marion Wyman. “So it's going to be songs, it's going to be dances … We had (cast members) write down their suggestions, and if they wanted to sing a solo, and that’s how we put the show together.” The show takes songs and dances, 12 of them solos, from about 30 different Broadway musicals, although Wyman said the list wasn’t yet complete as of Wednesday. The range of musicals is broad, including “Oklahoma!,” “Funny Girl,” Camelot” (and the Monty Python spoof, “Spamalot”), “The Wizard of Oz” and more.
