Isle Of Wight Thespians Head To The Movies In Virtual Concert

Some of the Island's talented thespians reunited remotely on Sunday (June 14) to perform in an online 'virtual' concert.

Members from a whole variety of theatre groups from across the Island submitted videos of songs from the movies.

Sensational performances from the likes of Megan West singing ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me’ from Toy Story, powerful belters such as Harley Mackness singing ‘My Heart Will Go On’ from the Titanic, Olly Fry and his Dad singing in their conservatory to 'Everybody Needs Somebody' from the Blues Brothers, as well as upbeat group numbers from Curtain Call Collective with their take on ‘Joyful, Joyful’ from Sister Act 2.

It wasn’t all singing, there’s a tap-dancing routine to the MGM Classic, Singin’ in the Rain, instrumental performances from the Careless family with ‘Downton Abbey Theme’ and ‘A Million Dreams’ from The Greatest Showman, and a spectacular aerial silk display by Jaydene Lee to Adele’s Bond theme, ‘Skyfall’.

The concert’s Musical Director, Andrew Woodford, said:

“I’ve been very impressed with the wonderful young performers who have taken part in the concert. This has been a great way to shine a light on their talent and hopefully help them on their performing arts journey!”

Joe Plumb, who edited and co-presented the show, said:

“Each of the performers recorded these incredible pieces in their own homes during lockdown!

"Even in these challenging times, when the theatres are likely to remain closed for some time, we are able to come together as a community and celebrate.”
