Our 24th Broadway Chorus production features songs from a multitude of talented composers, from the great Sondheim himself (songs from Follies, Gypsy, and Sunday in the Park With George) to pop icons like Cee Lo Green and Bruno Mars.

Look for me in a couple of choice comic moments, one musical solo, AND a surprise “celebrity” appearance as… well, it requires a British accent but that’s all I’ll say!

The Waterfront Theatre is located next to the Kid’s Market on Granville Island. Parking is free on the Island after 7:00pm (even in parkades!)

Barbara Elizabeth Clague (nee Stevenson)
24 September 1940 – 18 March 2012

I had the pleasure of knowing Barbara Clague via our mutual participation in The Broadway Chorus some years back. She was a delightful person to know and I kept in touch with her even after we were no longer performing show tunes together. I send this out with the possibility that some of you on my mailing list may not be aware of the recent developments and Barbara’s passing, and may wish to join me on Monday afternoon.

The following was written by Barbara’s daughter Ellen.

On March 18th, the sun rose, glistening on the snow-topped mountains, warming the earth and scenting the air with hints of spring. Barbara awoke to this beauty and then gently, peacefully passed on. Born in North Bay, Ontario and a graduate of Queen’s, Barbara’s early love of the arts saw her pursue ballet, tap, figure skating, piano, and singing. In 1962, while working at the United Nations Association in Toronto, Ontario, she met the love of her life, Michael Clague. They were married 18 July 1964. Barbara lived her life with curiosity, joy and a passion for the arts, politics, social justice and for learning. Most of all, Barbara loved people. She touched the lives of so many with her warmth, friendship, humour, and her genuine concern for their well-being. Barbara’s deep love for her family was an integral part of her, it emanated from her and it touched many; her love will continue to shine through all the hearts of those who knew her and loved her. Barbara is survived by husband Michael, daughters, Ellen (Michael) Lindsay (Kevin), and grandchildren, Lucas, Lila, Lauryn, Caitlin, and Ivy. May her spirit of love, joy and kindness stay in our hearts forever.

A memorial service will be held at 1PM on Monday, 26 March at The Unitarian Church of Vancouver, 949 W. 49 Avenue.

Exciting news – I’m in a play, The Trouble With Richard! My first non-musical is a very funny romantic comedy. And although I’m the lead, I’m very much in the eye of a comedic storm, surrounded by a bunch of outsize characters who keep the hilarity rolling along. Here’s the synopsis:

For a quiet guy, Richard’s life is getting complicated. He wants to propose to the girl he loves but he has to get his best buddy Jack off the couch first. As he struggles to get everything just right, Willie, the Scottish superintendent, wrestles with the plumbing, and his infatuated neighbour Andrew constantly hounds him. Will Richard be able to get the mood just right and win the girl of his dreams?

The Trouble With Richard features Greg Bosworth (Jack), Angela Martin (Gwyneth), Barry Walker (Willie), Tracy Labrosse (Veronica) and Paul Tourneur (Andrew).

This is really a great show – full of funny characters, great one-liners, and hilarious situations, as well as some truly touching moments. And our director, Clive Sanders, is helping make every little detail as good as it can be. It’s really going to be fun. I hope you can come and see it!

Preview: Feb. 9. Show runs Feb. 10-11, 15-18 and 22-25.

Location: Hendry Hall, 815 East 11th St., North Vancouver. View Map.
