This Friday, Aug. 4 from 1 to 2 p.m., everyone is invited and encouraged to attend the free performance of “Broadway Junior Revue: Raise Your Voice,” performed by the Bedford Recreation Department Junior Summer Stock cast. The performance will take place in the air-conditioned JGMS Auditorium located at 99 McMahon Rd. The performance is one hour long without intermission, appropriate for all audiences, and no tickets are necessary.
Olivia Lewis, performing in the show, said the audience will enjoy seeing all of the effort that has gone into creating the performance. “It’s a good introduction to a lot of different musicals.”
“Raise Your Voice” is a musical journey across 15 song and dance numbers from a range of musicals – classic to modern. The audience will recognize songs from “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Guys and Dolls” to “The Little Mermaid.” The show is directed by Aidan Tatar, with musical direction from Kelsey Mack and assistants Ellie Mitchell and Mary Couveé.
