The March 8th Benefit at the Elgin Club “The World Is A Stage” raised over $1300 for the Our Lady of the Angel Church Building Fund. The evening started with a wonderful Mexican meal catered by La Vista de Sonoita, and then continued with our stage show.

The evening was a musical journey around the world through song and dance, with Suzanne providing the vocals and the Alma Dolores Dancers providing the footwork. Suzanne even joined them for the Mexican Folklorico dances. The dancers were all happy to share their talents for a worthy cause and Suzanne was thrilled with the positive response from the audience members. Suzanne sang songs from many different Broadway shows including Cats, Evita, Les Miserables, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Oklahoma and South Pacific.

The dancers performed Flamenco, Irish, Polynesian, Hip Hop, Clogging and Mexican dances. Audience members commented that enjoyed Suzanne’s singing, and loved the costumes and energy of the show. Some of the other parish members are interested in having Suzanne perform another show in Patagonia in September or October to help raise money for the church’s general fund. Suzanne is excited about another opportunity to volunteer her time to help out her church community.

As the date for the Our Lady of the Angels The World I A Stage benefit draws near, I am pleased to say that preparations for the show are falling into place nicely. I’ve gotten final commitments from several of the dancers from the Alma Dolores International Dance Center who were over-all or category winners in last weekends Showstopper Dance competition in Phoenix.

I’ve also put together the list of songs and a performance order for the show. New to this show will be a medley of songs from two great Rogers and Hammerstein musicals, South Pacific and Oklahoma. I included the Oklahoma medley because the show will take place at the Elgin Club in Elgin, Arizona where much of the movie version of the musical was filmed. In addition to songs from these and other Broadway shows, the benefit will include dances from Spain, Ireland, Polynesia and Mexico.

Ticket sales are also picking up as we move closer to the performance date and it looks like we have a strong possibility of a sell out. Please contact us here at Sonoita Singer if you are interested in purchasing tickets. Showtime is 6:00 pm Saturday March 8th, at the Elgin Club in Elgin, Az. Ticket price includes a Mexican Dinner and the Show, and are priced at $20 per person. All proceeds benefit the Our Lady of the Angels Building Foundation.
