Broadway fever set to grip city

Showcase Productions NI is a local professional theatre company set up by Lisburn man Simon Cunningham.

“Showcase Productions has been going on and off since 2000,” explained Simon. “I moved to London for five years and started the company again when I came home. We have helped to raise money for different causes, including Lisburn Ladies Hard of Hearing Group.”

Since then, the company has gone from strength to strength and rehearsals are now underway for their next show - a fully staged and choreographed professional production of ‘Broadway Fever’, which features a wide selection of songs from hit musicals including Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Shrek, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Chicago, Sister Act, Oliver and The Producers.

The latest show from Showcase Productions follows hot on the heels of their recent success with ‘Broadway Nights’, which was staged recently at the Belvoir Players Studio Theatre in Belfast.

The Lisburn show however, is all in aid of charity and Simon is hoping that local people will come along to enjoy a night of musical theatre and to support the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children at the same time.

Broadway Fever is a special one night only concert, bringing a taste of some of the best Broadway shows to Lisburn. The talented all singing, all dancing cast will be performing songs from hit musicals such as Chicago, Shrek, and Sister Act. It promises to be an evening of wonderful entertainment, and all for a very deserving cause. Every penny raised will go directly to the NICFC.

The Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children delivers practical and emotional support to children, teenagers and young adults living with cancer.

Tickets, priced £20, are on sale now from the Box Office on 9250 9254.
