The London Gay Men’s Chorus (LGMC) – Europe’s largest LGBT+ choir, with more than 200 singing members – celebrated their 30th birthday last December, and have been marking this milestone with a year-long programme of celebrations.
Following on from their ‘Big Birthday Bash!’ concerts at The Clapham Grand last winter and their ‘Sondheim Songtime’ shows in the spring – which starred West End royalty and Olivier-winner Jenna Russell as a special guest – the group is now bringing new concert ‘The Halloween Ball’ to an iconic North London venue, Alexandra Palace, on the 28th and 29th of October.
The shows promise to be something special, with a diverse array of songs drawn from the Halloween canon. Singalong pop favourites from artists including Lady Gaga, Meatloaf and Michael Jackson will feature alongside anthemic numbers from musicals including The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Addams Family and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Expect a few haunting and ethereal numbers from icons including Annie Lennox and Kate Bush, too. Artistic Director Simon Sharp said: “The Halloween Ball promises to be a really exciting spectacle from the LGMC!
