Kings School Cabaret
25th February 2008
The Hayward Theatre was packed and there were more than just a few entertainers who
made up the Cabaret at the King’s School Ely recently. The highlight of the evening was
more than mere ‘cabaret’ – we were treated to a fine duet: “The point of no Return” from the
Phantom of the Opera in true operatic style. The audience was spellbound. A charming
performance of “A Whole New World” and “Blame in on my Youth” helped fit the picture
while we were entertained with talent of such versatility that we never quite knew what treats
could top the items we had heard before. Items included exciting dance routines, a variety of
solo presentations, a very appealing interpretation of “The Mocking Bird Song” with singer
and guitarist, hot jazz from a talented pianist and a meaningfully phrased offering of “Losing
my mind”. “Me and my Shadow”, the perennial spin, an endearing “Dream a little Dream on
Me” and an amazing band piece: “Fly me to the Moon” were additional delights. These
young performers displayed great courage and enthusiasm and there is no doubt that the
future of music is well assured with the spread of emerging talent we had at this event.
Under the guidance of Adella Charlton and Actor -in-Residence, Nick Huntington, the
performers flourished. The final icing on the cake came from the item presented by Adella
Charlton and Nick Huntington. While Nick sang with his excellent voice, “You Raise me Up“,
Adella provided hilarious props. They brought the house down. There seems to be no end
to this school’s ability to entertain well in almost any genre you care to name.
