5 Things You Didn’t Know About the Show
Posted in Bits and Pieces, Family, Symphony Concerts, Things to do
1. We discovered that puppet making is becoming a lost art. Our search for the perfect puppet took us all the way to New York City. The fabulous fish puppets you’ll see on stage are hand-crafted by the internationally renowned Furry Puppet Company.
2. Our brass quintet hails from Central Washington University. And instead of a trombone, they have a euphonium. Isn’t that breaking some unwritten, unspoken, unplayable brass quintet rule? Nope! Did you know that if you unwound a euphonium and a trombone, they’d be exactly the same length? Want to see that done? Come to our concert on Saturday!
3. For every minute a live production company spends on stage, an hour of rehearsal is required. But our rehearsals are never boring. Often they’re exactly like those funny outtakes you see at the end of movies. Or Psych.
4. Miss Allison (the star of the show!) and Michael (our delightful tenor) are married. In fact, they met while playing the parts of Laurey and Curly in the musical Oklahoma! It was love at first sight. Still is. 22 years later.
5. The 10:30 show is sold out, but there are a few tickets left for the 9:30 – so get them here!
What show you say? Swing Me High and Swing Me Low, our next Symphony Serenade concert for families. It’s at Benaroya Hall (Seattle Symphony) on Saturday, May 12 at 9:30 and 10:30. You’re invited!
