Memories capture the Anzac Spirit
MUSIC lovers are invited to sing along at a musical tribute to those who gave their lives in service of our country.
Critically acclaimed production Spirit of The Anzacs and Vietnam Vets will perform at the Theatre Royal in Camperdown on Thursday, April 9 at 11am.
Corangamite Shire Council mayor councillor Kate Makin said the concert features songs, stories and letters from the 40s, 50s and 60s, as well as beautiful images on the big screen.
“The cast will perform great songs from The Andrews Sisters, Vera Lynn, Bob Dylan, John Denver and Tom Jones, to name just a few,” she said.
“Hits from World War II, such as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, and Blue Moon, right through to songs of the 60s and 70s such as Leaving On A Jet Plane and Blowing In The Wind.
“There are also a few laughs along the way.”
The Promac Productions cast stars tenor Roy Best, international soprano Alison Jones and narrator/compere Christopher McKenna, with William Schmidt at the piano.
The production is the only fully sanctioned production permitted to use the word ANZACS by the Federal Government’s Department of Veterans Affairs Canberra.
