Sutton Coldfield will host Sing-a-long-a The Greatest Showman - an interactive show which is embarking on a UK tour.
The event will take place for a matinee and an evening show on Saturday 9 April at Sutton Coldfield Town Hall.
After the success of the launch of the 2017 film charting the success of PT Barnum and his launch into the new world of showbusiness, Singalonga Productions was delighted to add it to their portfolio of shows such as Sing-a-long-a Sound of Music, Sing-a-long-a GREASE and Sing-a-long-a Rocky Horror Show.
The interactive entertainment form, known as Sing-a-long-a, was allegedly born in an old people’s home in Inverness.
The nurses wanted to involve the residents in an interactive group therapy and decided to screen Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, with song sheets so that everyone could sing-a-long.
The idea was then developed for the Sound of Music for London’s Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in 1999, before opening at the Prince Charles Cinema in August of that year. Regular shows have been running ever since, not only in London but all around the world.
The union between The Greatest Showman and Sing-a-long-a team is now a national tour.
Every performance starts with a Sing-a-long-a host who warms up the audience, trains them how to interact with the movie using the contents of their free props bag and heckle in all the right places as well as judge the fancy dress competition.
Tickets are available via the website or from Box Office (Monday to Friday, 10am – 2pm, 0121 296 9543).
