2025 Covent Garden Spring Performance (off-book)

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:

Performance info: We are thrilled to be performing our musical repertoire in the iconic Covent Garden Square as part of a charity event and to spread musical theatre cheer to Londoners. This is an off-book (no lyric sheets or sheet music allowed) so you must have the songs memorised.

As it's going to be extremely busy in Covent Garden we need to all work together as a Team to ensure our performance runs as smoothly as possible : )

ROUGH PERFORMANCE LAYOUT AS PER THE IMAGE ABOVE

We're in our usual formation as per the image above

(Alto 1's, Alto 2's, Baritones, Tenors, Sop 2's, Sop 1's)

Therefore please keep this in mind as the Charlie's Angels help you to get into position.

PLEASE ARRIVE VOCALLY WARMED UP

There probably won't be time / space for a robust vocal warm up therefore please do your own warm up in the morning. There's lots of great vocal warm ups on Youtube.

PLEASE DON'T BRING MUCH WITH YOU

There won't be anywhere to leave belongings, other than on the floor directly in front of your feet.

NO SIGN IN WHEN YOU ARRIVE

As it will be extremely busy in Covent Garden, logistically we won't be able to sign everyone in therefore we won't have a sign in. Instead when you arrive, concentrate on being proactive in finding your vocal group.

WE WOULD PREFER NO COATS / BUT NOT REQUIREMENT

As we want everyone to look unified and for the WEMC logo to be seen, we'd love for as many singers as possible to please not wear coats. We'd really prefer if you can please layer up and not wear coats for the actual performance. Of course still wearing black gloves, black scarfs & black hats etc. We will just need to bring those not wearing coats to the front & have those wearing coats towards the back.
