‘Let’s go to the movies’

Talk about it

Get ready to for a cinema treat with the Red Wing Singers. They will be performing “Let's Go to the Movies” at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. March 14 at the Sheldon Theatre.

Join the Red Wing Singers as they take you through a journey of everyone’s favorite cinematic tunes. Selections will reflect four general themes: classic Hollywood, children’s movies, contemporary films and romantic movie hits.

Some songs include “Can’t Buy Me Love” from “Hard Day’s Night” (1964), “Chim Chim Cher-ee” from “Mary Poppins” (1963), “Dry Your Tears, Afrika” from “Amistad” (1997), “It Had Better Be Tonight” from “Pink Panther” (1963), “Puttin’ on the Ritz” from “Young Frankenstein” (1974) and “What a Wonderful World” from “Good Morning, Vietnam” (1987).

There will also be several solo performances. Some of them are “Blue Skies” from “The Jazz Singer” (1927), sung by Einar Hanson; “Come What May” from “Moulin Rouge” (2001), sung by Esther Gullixson and Larry Clark; “Hallelujah” from “Shrek” (2001), sung by Dave Swinarski; and “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” from “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), sung by Jim Klos.

“We are having a great time rehearsing for this show and know you will enjoy it as well,” said director Cheryl Borgen.
