"Big Fish, based on the novel written by Danny Wallace and the 2003 Tim Burton film starring Euan McGregor and Danny DeVito, will be BOS Musical Theatre Group's next production, and what a show it promises to be! With music written by the same team who wrote The Addams Family, you can expect some superb musical numbers to complement this entertaining yet moving story. It is a magical tale about a son's desire to connect with his father as he discovers he is soon to become a father himself. He begins to investigate all the tall stories his father has told throughout his life, trying to discover the truth about the man he so desperately wants to know and understand. It is a musical full of life - the ups and the downs, the joys and the sadness, the truth behind the fantasies, witches, giants, werewolves, mermaids, a whole circus troupe, fabulous songs, great dance numbers and above all - love."

Saturday 20th April

Lincoln Choral Society

SAUL

7.30pm

Lincoln Cathedral
A Tale of Destructive Jealousy……An Oratorio by George Frideric Handel
Accompanied by Musica Donum Dei will perform this choral masterpiece.
Conducted by Mark Wilde.

There are important roles, apart from Saul and David,  for  his son Jonathan and his 2 pretty daughters Michal and Merab. The cast also features a priest, a witch! and an advisor. There is much for the chorus {the Choral Society] to do  ,representing the Israelite people. The music is pretty hefty, Handel opting for a large orchestra and the most varied instrumentation of the time .Our interpretation, however,  uses a small baroque ensemble with chamber organ and harpsichord. The ‘Dead March’ from Act Three is commonly used as part of funeral services across the world[notably Churchill, Washington and Abraham Lincoln].

Tckets £10 - £25 + a small booking fee. http://www.lincolncathedral.com and on the door.
