They were singing songs from the shows. The first half was taken up with songs from Les Miserables, The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera and a song from Miss Saigon. The second half was a little more varied with an Abba medley as well as songs from other shows.
Eleanor sang I Don't Know How To Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar, as well as performing in all the songs sung by the chorus. As usual, Eleanor loved it whilst I was sat like a bag of nerves waiting for her turn to come. I do enjoy listening to her though, she's got a lovely voice, not inherited from me I might add.
It was a wonderful show, there's lots of talented kids involved, and as usual, Eleanor did us proud.
It sounds as if you had a lovely evening. Do you mentally sing every note with Eleanor as she's performing? I do this with my kids at school. By the end of a concert I'm more wrung out with nervous exhaustion than they are!! Seriously, I'm glad it went well. You must be very proud of her. Jx
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, ooh I bet you were more nervous than Eleanor! Have you got a little pop star on your hands? Or maybe someone a bit more classical? Lots of love xxx
ReplyDeleteHow proud of her you must have been! I love that song.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great evening out!

It must be wonderful to see your daughter up there singing in such a beautiful voice.I would love to be able to sing, sadly more Hilda Ogden than Elaine Paige though!
ReplyDeleteHooray for lovely musical daughters who entertain so well, what a star xx
ReplyDeleteNow that does sound like a good evening out. Well done to Eleanor with her solo too.

Thank you for all your lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteJan - Yes, I do mentally sing each note with Eleanor, though it's a good job it's in my head or else everyone would leave the building if they actually heard me sing. I'm very proud of her.
Emma - Eleanor doesn't get nervous at all, I wish I could be as laid back about her performing as she is. She likes all types of music, she's enjoying learing songs in other languages at the moment too, though I think it's musical theatre which she enjoys the most.
Sft - Yes, it's a lovely song. I really enjoyed the evening, there's lots of talented kids involved and I love to listen to them.
Anne - I'm exactly the same, I can't sing a note in tune.
Grace - I don't know where she gets her singing voice from, or her love of performing. There's no way I'd get up on stage.
Lisa - It was a lovely evening, I really enjoyed it.
