Mahalia in Spectacular September of musicals

The­atre pro­duc­tion com­pa­ny JCS En­ter­tain­ment Ltd (JCS Ent) re­turns with two back-to-back Spec­tac­u­lar Sep­tem­ber of mu­si­cals, fea­tur­ing ful­ly-staged and cos­tumed per­for­mances by An­drew Lloyd Web­ber's Je­sus Christ Su­per­star and Tom Stolz's Ma­halia: A Gospel Mu­si­cal.

These two en­core per­for­mances are sched­uled to hit the stage at the Queen's Hall Au­di­to­ri­um, start­ing with Ma­halia: A Gospel Mu­si­cal open­ing from Sep­tem­ber 9 to 18 and with Je­sus Christ Su­per­star open­ing from Sep­tem­ber 23 to Oc­to­ber 2, a re­lease said.

The dou­ble-mu­si­cal con­cept is a new one in T&T and is the brain­child of JCS Ent's Cre­ative Pro­duc­er John Hen­ry Smith III, who has been the guid­ing hand be­hind some of the largest mu­si­cal pro­duc­tions in T&T over the past four years in­clud­ing The Sound of Mu­sic (2012), The King and I (2013), En­core–Live From Broad­way (2013), Je­sus Christ Su­per­star (2014), Ma­halia: A Gospel Mu­si­cal (2015) and The Al­tar Boyz (2016).

"These are two of the most spec­tac­u­lar mu­si­cals ever seen in T&T," en­thused Smith last week­end at a cast re­hearsal in the YM­CA of T&T fa­cil­i­ty lo­cat­ed off Wright­son Road, Port-of-Spain.

"These two mu­si­cals are a re­al­ly good fit for lo­cal au­di­ences be­cause the mu­sic is fa­mil­iar and con­tem­po­rary, and our cast has proven its abil­i­ty to wow lo­cal au­di­ences."

Smith then went on to high­light that the 2015 JCS Ent-pro­duced Ma­halia: A Gospel Mu­si­cal pro­duc­tion cur­rent­ly holds the record for the longest run­ning Broad­way mu­si­cal lo­cal­ly. Je­sus Christ Su­per­star is on the list of the longest run­ning mu­si­cals in the world.

In this year's JCS Ent brand­ed Spec­tac­u­lar Sep­tem­ber month, Smith along with his pro­duc­tion team have sched­uled shows at var­i­ous time op­tions and at mul­ti­ple tick­et prices to cater to every avail­abil­i­ty and bud­get.

For the nine shows of Ma­halia: A Gospel Mu­si­cal, there will be on­ly two Sun­day mati­nee shows (Sep­tem­ber 11 and 18) which will be­gin at 6 pm. Pa­trons will al­so have the op­tion of three week­day shows (Sep­tem­ber 13, 14, 15) to in­dulge in a Tea and Mu­si­cals spe­cial af­ter­noon mati­nee from 2 pm. There will be two Fri­day and Sat­ur­day shows at 8 pm. (Sep­tem­ber 9�10 and Sep­tem­ber 16 and 17).

For the six shows of Je­sus Christ Su­per­star, there will be on­ly two Sun­day mati­nee shows (Sep­tem­ber 25 and Oc­to­ber 2) at 6 pm and two Fri­day and Sat­ur­day shows at 8 pm (Sep­tem­ber 23�24 and Sep­tem­ber 30�Oc­to­ber 1). Over­all there will be six school shows for stu­dents and young peo­ple at a spe­cial price dur­ing the month.
