The story of a young man and his experiences on the road are at the core of a new show by the Soundscape A Cappella Chorus.
The chorus is bringing its show, Hey Dad: Notes From the Road, to the stage at the Columbia Theatre on Saturday, June 10. Shows are on at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
The musical tour will feature a number of popular classics, including Simon and Garfunkel’s The Boxer, the Beatles’ In My Life, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, and I Wanna Be Like You from The Jungle Book.
Audience members can enjoy cabaret-style seating, with food and bar service available before and during the show. (And bring your money for a 50-50 draw.)
A press release from the chorus notes that the show is shaping up to be the best yet, since the group has had the opportunity to work with Marty Lovick, an internationally acclaimed performance coach, and Rob Hood, an Emmy winner, as technical producer.
Musical director Charlie Metzger leads the group, bringing expertise from decades of experience in the world of barbershop music.
Soundscape is a 40-members chorus with participants from across the Lower Mainland and Washington state as well. Their repertoire includes a wide range of popular songs from different eras, including show tunes, pop, jazz standards and more.
The Columbia Theatre is at 530 Columbia St. Doors open at 1 p.m. for the afternoon show and 6:30 p.m. for the evening show.
Tickets are $20 regular, $25 for VIP seats and $15 for students. You can buy through www.soundscape2017.brownpapertickets.com or see www.soundscapesings.ca for more details.
