Merlin Works Improv Singing II Graduation Show

smerlin · Post by **smerlin** » March 8th, 2010, 2:17 pm

This is a totally new class and I've been amazed what we've accomplished.

Come watch a full cast (13 people!) sing and dance their way through two full length musicals. For each musical, half the cast is the ensemble, doing back up singing, dancing, and characters, while the other half takes the leads in the story. In the second half of the show, they switch places and do it all over again. A live musician accompanies the completely improvised characters, songs, dances, and stories.

Friday March 12, 10pm at SVT

Starring:
Amy Averett
Bryan Cruz
Emily Breedlove
Jason Vines
Jessica Salinas

The other day I was dropping supplies off at SVT, just going to do a quick in and out, but as I came in, I could overhear the Western-themed song the class was doing in their run through, and just sitting outside the room without seeing the staging or knowing anything about the story or characters, I couldn't leave 'cause the song was so damn good. Show quality. Go time.

I'm really impressed with not only the improv chops of this group of people, but their amazing ability to sing and dance on the spot!

This is going to be one heck of a show!
