Ashton Moore tells us, "The basic "mission" is to present the very best of Christmas music - old and new (traditional epics like O Holy Night to evergeen hits like All I Want For Christmas is You, through to lesser-known but beautiful gems like Grown-Up Christmas List, and even brand new material; I will be premiering a brand new Moore original song)! And then to present all of this amazing music in the most stunning way: with an incredible 14-piece orchestra in full view throughout, and delivered by a brilliant and diverse cast of 8 singers."
We are promised a beautiful range of voices in the cast, which also features some younger members (aged 17-19) whose talents we will not have here in Southend for very long as, Ashton informs us, they are all destined to go on some real adventures in the theatre industry.
All of the orchestrations are brand new and bespoke, and have been completed by Ashton, James Green, and Liam Holmes, the latter two of whom are also part of the orchestra, which will be conducted by local theatre legend Clare Penfold!
Ashton continues, "I'm delighted that we are partnering with the Temple Cafe for the event - they will be there with mince pies, mulled wine and other delicious Christmas treats."
Obviously it's absolutely paramount that the event is safe for all, and the following measures have been put in place to make sure this happens:
* Face coverings required for all audience and staff, unless exempt, or performing
* All performers testing regularly (on the day before and of rehearsals and performances)
* No more than 50% of total capacity will be sold, in order to allow for distanced rows and space between groups/households where desired (to provide more detail: we will not sell more than 200 tickets - although the hall can seat in excess of 500 - and we will put out considerably more seats than tickets sold, in order to allow groups to keep distance between each other if desired).
* All tickets are "general entry" and not specific seats, meaning audience members can sit where they feel most comfortable
* Stunning large hall with high ceiling and numerous doors and large windows for ventilation
* You must not attend if you have any COVID-19 symptoms
It's worth mentioning also that a COVID pass is not required as the capacity is well below the legal minimum.
The organisers are totally confident that they are staging an event that is not only very exciting and of extremely high quality, but an event that can be a safe and responsible part of people's Christmas plans.
The event starts at 7pm (doors open at 6.30pm) and is very suitable for all the family, and music, theatre and Christmas lovers of all ages.
