Phoenix are delighted to share the news that two of our stars - and Phoenix Youth teachers - Katie Milne and Ian Baxter got engaged this weekend.
Many congratulations from everyone in the Phoenix family!
A season of love for charity
Our immensely talented choreographer, Colette Murray, sat down with the Evening Express and previewed our upcoming production of Seasons of Love. We are delighted to confirm that all of the proceeds will go to our favourite charity; Grampian Women's Aid.
A Burns Subsea supper
Phoenix Theatre were honoured to be asked to host a Burns Supper at Drum Castle for clients of i-tech 7, a division of Subsea 7.
Throughout the evening, our performers kept spirits high with speeches and songs including "The Selkirk Grace", "The Toast to the Lassies", "To a Mouse" and "Whistle and I'll Come to Ye, My Lad." After dinner, our Musical Director Kevin Haggart continued the entertainment with classical Burns music from the piano and everyone rounded the evening off, in the amazing setting of the Drum Castle Library, with a rousing rendition of "Auld Lang Syne."
Masquerading for Munro's
Phoenix Theatre were delighted to provide a little mystery and magic to Munro's Travel Group's client night at the Hilton Treetops Hotel in Aberdeen.
After welcoming the guests to the venue, our dancers were the belles of the ball, performing their popular Masquerade routine to a rapt audience.
A Strictly excellent evening
Phoenix Youth Theatre were delighted to perform alongside 'Strictly Come Dancing' stars Pasha Kovalev and Katya Virshilas at the Aberdeen Music Hall.
For the second year in a row, Phoenix Youth Theatre were asked to provide guest dancers for the 'Strictly' tour, and the children who attend our dance classes were only too happy to oblige. The children were choreographed by Phoenix Youth Dance Teacher and Phoenix Theatre Choreographer, Colette Murray, alongside her assistants Ian Baxter, Liam Urquhart and Arran Mcaskill.
The children, all from Aberdeen and the North East, are aged 8-18 years and attend Phoenix Youth Theatre's acting, singing and dancing classes.
Adding some swing to the 2014 Bling Fling
Phoenix Theatre were thrilled to once again be on hand to help at the sixth annual Bling Fling Charity Walk at Duthie Park.
Following the walk, our dancers treated the walkers to our 'Dirty Dancing' cabaret and four of our young stars gave a sneak preview of a number from Phoenix Youth Theatre's 'The Pajama Game'.
Whether it's assisting with the raffle, tidying up, or dancing the night away, the Bling Fling is always an annual highlight for Phoenix Theatre.
Legally Blonde North-East premiere
Phoenix Theatre is delighted to announce that we will be bringing the North-East amateur premiere of 'Legally Blonde: The Musical' to His Majesty's Theatre in February 2016!
The hit musical, based on the MGM motion picture starring Reese Witherspoon, is sure to delight Aberdeen audiences. And we're sure our cast members won't object either!
Time of their lives for happy couple
Phoenix Theatre were honoured to be asked to provide entertainment for a wedding reception at Meldrum House in Oldmeldrum.
Our dancers performed our 'Dirty Dancing' cabaret, featuring several dance numbers from the film. The wedding guests sang along as 'Time of Our Lives' closed out the performance. The happy couple were as delighted as they were speechless with the surprise that their families had organised for them. And Phoenix Theatre were proud to be that surprise.
