Higher & Higher

Higher & Higher
Conceived by Jamie Watt & Peter Laughton. Spotlight Theatre, Benowa, Gold Coast. August 12th to September 3rd, 2016

The Big Band sound has successfully been recreated for Spotlight’s production of Higher & Higher.

Conceived, written, directed, choreographed and performed by Jamie Watt and his associates, this “jukebox” musical of 55 hit songs was non-stop entertainment. With a cast of four female singers, plus Jamie; four backing singers and 6 dancers, this high-energy production will be one to remember for a long time.

Musical Director and keyboard player Ben Murray ensured a cracking pace throughout the show and the dancers were hardly off stage. Well costumed, the production was a “Motown” Tsunami of hit after hit! Everyone had their talents showcased to advantage and the result was a credit to all concerned, though special mention must be made of first time lighting designer Kyle Fuz for a job well done.

Choreography was by Kellie Niebling and Lauren Wormald.

This is one of those shows that has you singing all the way home.
