A little Oscars Fun

In the spirit of the Oscars, we decided to collect a few of our favourite opening numbers over the last few years, starting of course with the last one. 

Another favourite is Neil Patrick Harris presenting in 2010. The dancers are so over the top, you have to love it. They make up up for the...um...not all there vocals. 

In 2009 Hugh Jackman took the reigns. Look out for the Les Mis pair making a very early debut.



Musical numbers are always the best.

Little Green Cars The John Wayne

Pretty sure love is in the air. This song by Little Green Cars is mesmerizing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJEVkuNsEi0

Liza Minnelli

Liza Minnelli is such a legendary singer and actress. Here we found inspiration in her humour as Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Performing with her is another fantastic actor and singer, Joel Grey, as the Emcee. This 1972 film, based on the Broadway musical Cabaret, won three Academy Awards in 1973 including best actress (Minnelli), best supporting actor (Grey) and best director ( Bob Fosse). We think their interpretation of their characters is brilliant. Hope you do too!

That Moon Song

What a beautiful creation by Gregory Alan Isakov. We stumbled upon this song listening to Jango (www.jango.com in case you don't know it). It brings to mind starry nights or deep forests. Cliche? Whatever, you'll like it.

Laura Marling Rambling Man

A friend of ours suggested we cover this song, Rambling Man by Laura Marling, for our show. What a brilliant suggestion, and this song and artist inspired so many other ideas.

A little Disney

We've been having a ball writing new material for our show 8 March in Dorpstreet Theater. Our latest song called Stories was inspired by Disney power ballads from a few years back. This is one of our favourites from Hercules.

Settle Down

Love this song. So do 21 Million other people on YouTube but whatever, let's jump on the bandwagon. For those who don't know Kimbra, she's the girl in Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know. We much prefer her solo work. This song is so much fun.
