REHEARSALS are starting for an entertaining evening at Knutsford Musical Theatre Company featuring the songs of Stephen Sondheim.

From May 25 to 27 the company presents a cabaret-style evening, written by the company’s musical director, Alan Dean. Alan said: “I love Sondheim’s work because his lyrics are always so meaningful. They can be brilliantly witty, disturbingly cynical, deeply moving, whatever the moment’s mood requires.”

Songs include some well-known tunes, Tonight and I Feel Pretty from West Side Story, Comedy Tonight from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Send in the Clowns, Losing my Mind. It also includes some less well-known and more quirky songs, Anyone can Whistle and Everybody says Don’t.

The company is looking for more people to join them.

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings, from 7.30pm until 10pm, at Shaw Heath Social Club, Mobberley Road.

Auditions will be at the same venue on Sunday, January 29 from 2pm. For more details phone Linda on 01565 873285, or Lesley on 01477 534843, or visit the company website at kmtc.org.uk.
