| Performed by 12 local singers, this show celebrates
Walt Disney's 100th birthday. According to Shirley Groom, one of three
Grooms in the cast, it is "a collection of songs from Zippity
Doo Dah, Aladdin, to the Lion King, Mary Poppins and everything in
between. You are coming to a world where elephants fly, chimney sweeps
dance, and every wish you wish comes true."
Virginia Niekrasv-Laurent
is the guest choreographer along with her dance ensemble, BRAVA!
DanceEureka. Dances accompany some of the performance bits. Although
Falderal does use costume pieces, they perform in formal, concert
attire. So this is not a night specifically designed for little
kids. "Mickey Mouse and Goofy will not be walking around shaking
hands," the program notes read. Which is a comfort to me. |
