Morning Cruise Update

Blog post 28/09/07.

Hey there. I hope you are doing good on this Friday afternoon and is ready for your weekend. I suppose the short working week was not as long as you thought it would be hey? It was just a blink of the eye and Friday’s here. Well, this is what we had done for the show.

10:35 Today we spoke about a show called Standing Ovation. It seems like a very interesting show if you want to see something different to what you normaly see. Here is a bit more information on the event. Not put together by me.
STANDING OVATION
Accomplished baritone Evan Schoombie is returning to Cape Town after a long stint overseas. Schoombie was a familiar face in musical theatre in the Mother
City during the nineties, performing the leading role in various productions such as Asjas-Passie, Jacques Brel is alive and well and living in Paris,
A touch of Webber and a taste of Rice and Song and Dance Variations (with the acclaimed Free Flight Dance Company).
At the height of his career he felt to give something back to the community which resulted in his leaving for overseas to be involved in various gospel
productions and theatre schools. Since returning to South Africa four years ago, he has produced and starred in two new productions that have played to
full houses across the nation: An evening with Brel & Gershwin and Andrew Lloyd Webber Tribute.
Schoombie will be performing at the Obz Café Theatre from 3 – 5 October as well as from 17 – 20 October in the production Standing Ovation. Schoombie’s
passionate performance is complemented by dexterous pianist Drini Malan-Botha. The show includes hits such as Madeleine, If you go away, The old folks
and Amsterdam by Brel as well as Music of the night, Magical Mr. Mistoffelees and Unexpected song by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Schoombie’s portrayal of Herman
van Veen’s Suzanne and Ik hou van jou are sure to cloud the eye, and a few of his original Afrikaans story-songs round off this beautiful bouquet.
Says Schoombie: ‘I believe that with more life experience one can better interpret the songs of passionate composers such as Brel and Webber. My voice has
also matured and I have discovered some wonderful talent in the Southern Cape, where I now reside, and have included some of these artists into my new
productions.

to work out right, but Don't forget to Always Have A Dream!"
