Guilty Pleasures
7pm, 27th June at St Anne’s Church Hall, SE1 5HQ
We’re thrilled to invite you to our upcoming cabaret, ‘Guilty Pleasures’. It will feature songs that are cheesy or 'uncool' to like, but everyone (not-so) secretly does: think High School Musical, the Vengaboys, anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber...
Directed by experienced Phoenixer Hayley Cross and musically directed by Rohan Godfrey (currently studying at the Royal College of Music), this show will feature delicious harmonies, unexpected mash-ups, and a sprinkling of audience participation.
Prepare to be surprised and, most importantly, laugh.
Taking part
As ever with Phoenix cabarets, there are no auditions and everyone is welcome to take part.
Generally, anyone who wants a solo can have one (unless we have hundreds of people sign up – but we’d probably still be able to figure that out!), and we’re hoping to feature some small group numbers alongside the usual 4/5 whole-cast songs.
Dancing requirements are minimal (think movement, not dancing), but we will have opportunities for more ‘involved’ dance for those that love to move. So get thinking about those songs that you’d like to perform!
To note - recently, Phoenix’s cabarets have been ‘short-form’ (rehearsed over a couple of days). This time, we return to weekly rehearsals to give everyone a little more time for the material to sink in (and there will be rehearsal materials provided to you in advance).
Rehearsal dates are listed at the bottom of this page and sign-ups are now open at https://forms.gle/i9vZQe8RvH4vJurV7 until Sunday 31st May.
We can’t wait to sing with you!
