Concert promises to provide a toe-tapping time

The Rotorua District Choir and Off Broadway will be presenting their show Show Stoppers tonight and tomorrow.

The Rotorua District Choir and guest artists Off Broadway this weekend present Show Stoppers which will feature music from popular musicals.

Rotorua District Choir conductor Evelyn Falconer said the choir would be doing songs from popular musicals including Singin' In The Rain, Ragtime and Wicked.

She said Off Broadway would perform songs from musicals such as Chess, Les Miserables and Jekyll & Hyde.

There were 45 people in the Rotorua District Choir, she said.

Off Broadway is a corporate dinner show Mrs Falconer started about 19 years ago, she said.

Its catchline was 'the best songs from the best musicals', she said.

Mrs Falconer will do both conducting and singing in the show, which features "toe-tapping songs and lovely ballads".
