The Peninsula Singers
PRESENT: THAT’S ENTERTAINMENT!
That’s Entertainment is a mesmerizing and eclectic theatrical style show that will have you dancing in your seat! Revel in a musical lineup inspired by the timeless hits that sizzled the movie screens with Hollywood’s song and dance numbers, vaudeville, and old-fashioned showbiz. Artistic Director Lena Palermo has chosen songs from the razzle dazzle of the best musical-theatre numbers Broadway has ever known, to theme songs from 70’s sitcoms and modern film classics.
Our powerful mixed voice choir will perform Welcome to the Rock from the Broadway musical hit, Come from Away, based on the remarkable true events that occurred in the town of Gander, Newfoundland following the September 11 attacks. You’ll miss your homeland wherever you hail from with the song, My Land, made famous by Irish super group Celtic Thunder.
You’ll hear music from the beloved Disney classic, The Lion King, and hits from, The Greatest Showman, the rags to riches story inspired by P.T. Barnum, numbers from jukebox musical, Jersey Boys, Opening Up from the Broadway musical, Waitress and the tender arrangement, Pure Imagination from the 2023 film Wonka.
Enjoy piercing ballads like U2’s mega hit, It’s a Beautiful Day and classic songs from the Beatles! You’ll take a music-filled romp through fan favourite TV series like Bonanza and Mr. ED, Laverne and Shirley, The Adam’s Family, Three’s Company, and the enduring ending to the Carol Burnett Show.
