Revues will soon be in
‘Cape Breton Summertime Revue’ coming back with more shows
The “Cape Breton Summertime Revue” crew is in the final week of preparations for this year’s show, to be staged at the Savoy Theatre.
The Revue will be on stage next week on July 31 and Aug. 1-2 and again on Aug. 7 and Aug. 12.
The traditional table reads have begun and according to director Maynard Morrison, audiences this year are in for a good show.
“We just did two days of comedy workshops with our special guest and Revue alumna, MaryColin Chisholm,” said Morrison. “We laughed so much our faces were sore. We’re in for a fantastic show. And that’s before we even talk about the music.”
The Revue is known for its music and musical directors Stephen Muise and Fred Lavery say there should be something to please just about everybody in this year’s shows.
“We wanted to revisit some of the great musical moments of summers gone by in Cape Breton, with a nod to some of our best
and most-loved Cape Breton artists,” said Muise
“We’ve been able to cover a broad range of material too so there really is something for everyone,” said Lavery.
Show producers say audience members can expect a little bit of everything in this year’s show.
“The Revue has always been a vehicle for Cape Bretoners to let off a little steam about life with some good humour and fantastic music and this year there were a lot of topics to choose from,” said Savoy Theatre manager Pam Leader.
The Cape Breton Summertime Revue will be staged at the Savoy and tickets are $49.50 for adults, $44.50 for seniors with show times at 7 p.m. Phone the box office at 902-842-1577 or go to tickets.capebreton.ca for more information.
