Durban High School is to present Singing Swing from August 18 for a short season.
The vision of DHS Drama educator and vocal coach Kirsten Smith, DHS’s latest musical offering, Singing Swing, is a tight, high-energy show, featuring a multi-talented cast of six vocalists.
Accompanied by a six-piece band that has been trained by DHS old boys Alex Smillie (currently a music student at UKZN) and Matthew Barnwell (who will be studying music at Berklee in the USA), Smith’s emphasis on audience rapport and slick choreography means that the show is a complete performance package.
With a playlist that includes modern takes on old favourites such as Come Fly with Me and New York, New York as well as numbers such as Michael Bublé’s Everything, the show will also feature guest members of staff and promises to be a polished, modern spin on classic swing.
Singing Swing runs at Seabrooke’s Theatre from August 18 to 20 at 19h30. Tickets R40 booked on 031 277 1500 (during office hours)
