We were very excited to perform our first Broadway themed concert for the residents and family members of the San Marino Sunrise! It was a true pleasure entertaining the seniors - they were a lovely audience. It was heartwarming to see their eyes light up as they recognized songs from their childhood and teenage years.
Musical theater history was our favorite class in college so we had a blast deciding what songs to sing. Known as the "Golden Age" of Broadway, we decided to concentrate on the classics - Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner & Lowe, Kander & Ebb, and more! Our duets included "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" from South Pacific (1949), "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music (1965), and "If Momma Was Married" from Gypsy (1959). The audience swooned as Kristen soared in the emotional, "If I Loved You" from Carousel (1945) and a special guest star resembling Toto appeared right when Alexis was singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (Wizard of Oz, 1939.) What timing!!
The hour show went by in a flash and we were humbled to receive glorious praise from the residents and the staff. One care-giver said, "You're really singing 'their' music. This is the music of their time." We were happy to hear that our music selection really touched our audience. Thank you San Marino Sunrise!! We look forward to next time!
