Many apologies but, due to Tech Rehearsals for 'A Grand Night for Singing', there will be no Limelight Community Ensemble on Wednesday 16th October. We will be back as usual on the 23rd 🎶
MEET THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR FOR 'A GRAND NIGHT FOR SINGING'! 🎤
Hi. I'm Vanessa. I've been a part of Limelight since 2019, performing in several shows. I am proud to be a Trustee and to be Musical Director (MD) for the Community Ensemble.
I am MD too for 'A Grand Night for Singing', and Stage Directing along with the cast. It's scary and fun, a challenge, and a great pleasure to be working with such a fabulous group of people.
My favourite song? 'Wash That Man'! Awesome harmonies, so much fun, and just a bit of Girl Power!
You can catch the show at the Sir John Mills Theatre on Friday 18th & Saturday 19th October: https://easternangles.co.uk/event/a-grand-night-for-singing

Hi, I'm Amelia! This is my first ever show with Limelight Performers and I am so excited to be performing with an amazing cast for 'A Grand Night for Singing'! I am playing Vicki, who is a very bubbly and naive young lady. I love all the songs in the show but my favourite song so far is 'Kansas City' because it’s a different arrangement to the original and the harmonies are fabulous.

My name is Ethan and I am super excited to be performing as Jason in my first show with Limelight. This is my first full production outside of school shows, and I couldn’t have asked for a better cast to perform with. My favourite song in the show is 'All At Once You Love Her' because it is a beautiful duet between me and Martin (Gavin).

Hi! I'm Natasha. I've been with Limelight Performers since its conception in 2019 and am delighted to have been part of the Trustee team, as well as having directed, choreographed and musically directed (MD) many shows for the company. I'm thrilled to be the MD for the upcoming production of SIX this November at St Peter's by the Waterfront.
In this show, I'm taking on the role of Lynne and can't wait for you to hear all your favourite Rodgers & Hammerstein numbers but with a slight twist! My favourite song in the show is either the Andrews Sisters' style, close harmony, 'Many a New Day / I'm Gonna Wash That Man' alongside Naomi and Amelia or 'Honey Bun' with the full company, as it's just so joyous and feel good and has provided many comic moments in rehearsals alongside our excellent MD, Vanessa.

Dolly Parton’s smash-hit musical is the most fun you’ll have at the theatre all year!
With a rip-roaring score by the Queen of Country, 9 to 5 the Musical tells the story of three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their despicable supervisor, will the ladies manage to reform their office - or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit?
Inspired by the iconic 80's film, this hilarious production is about teaming up, standing up and taking care of business!
Limelight Performers are excited to be featuring local performers in this unique actor-musician production, blending the cast and band on stage as one!
We'll be holding open auditions to find our cast and on-stage band - with positions available for all skillsets! We won't be able to offer any spaces to young people for this production due to licensing restrictions, and so all auditionees must be 16+ and have completed Year 11 at school.

We're really excited to launch a new 'virtual ensemble' project and invite everyone to get involved and take part, to make this our biggest collaboration yet!
To celebrate our production of SIX Teen Edition later this year, we're using the song Heart of Stone from the popular musical, and you can record a vocal or instrumental part to be included in the final edit!
We're looking for as many people as possible to join in, and all you have to do is complete the 4 steps on the website below and become a part of it! We've run a number of similar projects in the past (which you can watch on our YouTube channel or website), but we're aiming for this one to be the best yet, and can't wait to see it all come together!
Recordings must be submitted by the end of August - there's demo tracks, sheet music and lots more info at limelightperformers.co.uk/virtualensemble
