Silver Linings: Songs from the Silver Screen

The Wellington Footlights Society presents

Silver Linings: Songs From the Silver Screen

A musical revue celebrating the medium of cinema through the medium of theatre, Silver Linings draws on a wide variety of music from both movies & movie musicals, and aims to provide an opportunity for people to come together to celebrate performing arts and community in a time when many people are longing to connect.

Silver Linings presents timeless classics such as “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from Funny Girl, “As Long As He Needs Me” from Oliver, and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” from Meet Me in St Louis, as well as contemporary numbers from modern favourites including The Greatest Showman, Mean Girls and Frozen II. There’s something for everyone to love in this celebration of cinema through the ages.

A portion of each ticket sold will be donated to a local charity, Mary Potter Hospice.
