Get ready to drink in the songs from such great Broadway shows as “Cabaret” and “Chicago” and be stunned by some awesome choreography during “KEGS.”
“KEGS,” a combination of the initials from the song-writing teams of John Kander, Fred Ebb and Gilbert and Sullivan, is the 13th annual Brookfield- Jordan Vocal Recital to be held Saturday and Sunday at Everett Performing Arts Center.
This year is a slight departure from Brookfield-Jordan’s past recitals with the addition of lots of dance and more of a potpourri of show tunes and classical Gilbert and Sullivan numbers, Sherri Brookfield-Jordan said.
“I’ve got two very great choreographers who have studied the style,” she said, “and there isn’t a dull moment in the whole show.”
The two choreographers, long-time students of the Brookfield-Jordan Studio, are Maria Daoust and Brianna Stiegler, who have honed their triple threat skills as singers, actors and dancers, Brookfield-Jordan said.
The “KEGS” cast of more than 30 students will belt out tunes from Kander and Ebb’s musicals such as “Cabaret,” “Chicago” and “Kiss of the Spiderwoman.”
This year, the classical part of the recital will be songs from Gilbert and Sullivan, including “Pirates of Penzance,” “The Mikado,” “H.M.S. Pinafore” and “The Yeomen of the Guard.”
“There are spectacular voices to be heard,” Brookfield-Jordan said.
Performers include Paisha Coffey, Gary Jordan, Nicole Erickson, Jenna Van Rijn, Melissa Sturgis, Maria Daoust, Olivia Taylor, Kady Davidson, Luisa Costanza, Jesslyn Freeman, Tiffany Wolf, Brianna Stiegler, Ev Merrienne, Hailey Hagins, Becky Burch, Tom Munyon, Dylan Hussey, Carolynn Sager, Esprit Cummings, Olivia Taylor, Laura Wilson, Natalie Collins, Zachery Wilson, Courtney Strehlow, Anne Wolken, Danielle Latimer, Kaylee Banks, Sola Yun and Mindee Viscalla.
