Welcome to guest director Karina Allayne and guest accompanist Jed Holland!
Tonight we’ll focus on act 2- our Broadway show! If you saw “Something Rotten” performed by the Riverbend Alumni two summers ago, you will have seen Karina’s excellent music direction. I’ve asked her to work on the entirety of “My Fair Lady”, and then Welcome to the Renaissance. Remember! Sing like SVC on these, but SVC as a Broadway ensemble!!
Enjoy!
