Hard at work rehearsing (and having fun at the same time!), the SaddleBrooke Singers is preparing to rock the audience with its spring concert, Mamma Mia, Jersey Boys, and Friends. From the musical based on the songs of ABBA the group will sing I Have a Dream, Waterloo, Dancing Queen, S.O.S., Take a Chance on Me, Thank You for the Music and, of course, Mamma Mia.
Songs featured from Jersey Boys, based on the musical history of The Four Seasons, will include Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You, Sherry, Oh, What a Night, Workin’ My Way Back to You, Babe and Let’s Hang On.
Also included will be some 60’s chick songs including Johnny Angel, It’s My Party, My Boyfriend’s Back, Lollipop and My Guy. The guys will also chime in on Proud Mary, You’re Sixteen, Hello, Mary Lou and Barbara Ann. Plus, there are more!
The concerts are Friday, April 10 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 12 at 4:00 p.m. at the DesertView Performing Arts Theatre. Tickets are now on sale at the MountainView Administration Office, by phone at 825-2818 or online at http://tickets.SaddleBrookeTwo.com. $18 advance purchase or $20 at the door.
