Night of 1000 Stars

First entry of 2010

To ring in the new year Matt Sonya and I went to Peacock Players to go see Night of 1000 Stars. To sum it up it was a musical revue choc full of amazing Broadway Showtunes. The first act featured songs from shows they have done since their innagural season in 2002 and the second act had songs selected by members of the youth company. Quite a diverse amount of songs and quite a good way to reflect on all the various shows I have seen in 2009 at various theatres. There is quite a diversity of talents amont the members of this years Peacock Players Company.
