Dazzling dance, music and song of Tinseltown
Audiences in Colombo are in for a musical treat when ‘A Night In Tinsel Town’ , a grand musical production of instrumentals, dances and songs and a dramatized item goes on the boards at the Bishop's College auditorium on Friday January 16 and Sunday the 18th.

The performing artistes are mainly youngsters who have achieved merit in different fields, ensuring a show that is both colourful and full of youthful energy, says director Jith Peiris.

The orchestra and some of the singers will be the students of Menaka Sahabandu while the instrumental items will be performed by students of Surekha Amerasinghe. The dancers are choreographed by the dynamic Manik Neydorf. Guest performances will see Penny Ferdinand, Shenelle Fernando, Samantha Ferdinand and not surprisingly Angela Senevirathne, Chandana De Silva and a host of others taking the stage.

The Broadway theme will be captured by songs of "Hit Musicals" of yesteryear and the dance items of the 1920s-the Charleston, an elegant top hat and tails dance and yet another from a well-known musical.This production directed by Jith Pieris will be in aid of the charity SUROL (Society for the Upliftment and Rehabilitation of Leprosy patients).
