Brilliant Performances at “London Calling” Fall Revue

Chorale and Theater Production opened the revue with a performance of Queen’s “You’re My Best Friend,” and the acts that followed all stayed with the theme of highlighting musicians from across the pond. Soloists sang love songs, ballads, and classic tunes, including Ava B. ’24 (Lulu’s “To Sir With Love”) Anna C. ’25 (Harry Styles’ “Sign of the Times”), Elise L. ’26 (Cat Stevens’ “Wild World”), Ava D. ’26 (Petula Clark’s “Downtown”), Emmy Q. ’24 (Elton John’s “Your Song”), and Moriah F. ’24 (Adele’s “Easy On Me).

Several performances brought British rock and roll energy to the production, including soloists Anila S. ’25 (The Pretenders’ “Brass in Pocket”) and Valentina D. ’26 (Radiohead’s “Creep”). Dance students took the stage performing choreography to “London Calling” by The Clash, sung by Reese W. ’25, and the Class of 2027 performed a rendition of the popular 90’s pop song “Wannabe” by the Spice Girls. The Beatles’ “Hello, Goodbye” was a fitting finale by Chorale and Theater Production.
