Saturday, Dec 17th 

Sunday, Dec 18th (Matinee)

at the Music Clinic Theatre, 197 Daniel Webster Highway (Rt 3, across from the China Garden Restaurant), Belmont, NH

      This jam-packed holiday show is now history, but what a show it was!  Audience members took a trip back to the 1940′s when they attended the MCTC’s latest production, “A Jazzy Little Christmas”.  The intimate theatre in Belmont was designed as a retro nightclub with table seating, warm lighting and space for dancing.  Patrons sat back and enjoyed the vocals of MCTC singers Susana Hajjar, Tom Mann, Laurie McDaniel, Jonathan Warren, and Karen Simpson in a repertoire which included songs by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and George Gerswhin, as well as smooth jazz seasonal favorites.

     “We have cleared the floor for this event, which is our first winter concert.”, said MCTC director, Laurie McDaniel.  “From ‘White Christmas” to ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me’, the program is nostalgic, romantic and fun.  There is even room for a foxtrot if the spirit moves you, and we think it will!”

     A list of songs included:

Act I

Let It Snow, Let It Snow

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)

Music Clinic Theatre Company presented its second annual fall concert “Autumn Leaves”, featuring seasonal songs of genres from opera, broadway, folk, and jazz.

“We had such a good time with our audiences last October, we decided to make “Autumn Leaves” a yearly tradition”, said musical director and singer, Karen Simpson, owner of the Music Clinic.  We performed new material, but the overall theme of the show was a  celebration of positive changes symbolized by the ending of one season and the beginning of another.”

Karen Simpson was joined in the show by cast members George “Rusty” Locke, Tom Mann and Laurie McDaniel,  MCTC Artistic Director.  Molly Wood was piano accompanist.

This year the company welcomed new member, Susana Hajjar, a Syrian singer who studies voice with Karen Simpson.  Hajjar performed two Arabic folk songs that relate to the hopes and struggles of the Arab Spring revolution of the Middle East.  “Her performance was stunning”, said Laurie McDaniel. “Our approach to the show has always been a global perspective, since we performed numbers in Italian, Spanish and French.  Susana brought an exotic, touching and timely musical perspective to our production.  We are lucky to have her with us.”

“Autumn Leaves” featured solos and group songs in a free-flowing concert in an intimate stage setting with fireplace, candles and autumn decor.  Music Clinic Theatre Company is ending its second year of successful productions, having presented the musicals “I Do! I Do!” last August, and “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris” in 2010.

“Autumn Leaves” ran for 6 performances from Oct 28, 2011 through Nov 6, 2011.

Performances were at the Music Clinic Theatre

197 Daniel Webster Highway

Belmont, NH (Rt 3, across from the China Garden Restaurant).

As the kids begin to think about joining school bands, remember, we have rental instruments as well as the teachers who can help your children play them. 

Students who take private lessons in addition to the instruction they receive in school play better and progress through the chairs faster.  For most of them music becomes a very important part of their lives.

The Music Clinic Theatre Company was proud to present

the Broadway musical:  

I DO! I DO!   

Starring Laurie McDaniel and Rodney Martell.

at the Music Clinic Theatre, 197 Daniel Webster Highway (Rt 3), Belmont, NH.  

CLICK ON THE HEADING OF THIS EVENT FOR DETAILS.   

This show ran for 2 weeks, playing 8 performances, Aug 4th through Aug 14th. 

Tickets were just $15 ($12 for seniors 65+)

From Wikipedia:

“I Do! I Do! is a musical with a book and lyrics by Tom Jones and music by Harvey Schmidt.

Based on the Jan de Hartog play The Fourposter, the two-character story spans fifty years, from 1895 to 1945, as it focuses on the trials and tribulations, laughters and sorrows, and hopes and disappointments experienced by Agnes and Michael Snow throughout their marriage. The set consists solely of their bedroom, dominated by the large fourposter bed in the center of the room.  

After four previews, the Broadway production, directed and choreographed by Gower Champion, opened on December 5, 1966 at the 46th Street Theatre, where it ran for 560 performances. Mary Martin and Robert Preston comprised the original cast; Carol Lawrence and Gordon MacRae replaced them later in the run.

Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson starred in a national tour.”

The show at the MUSIC CLINIC was a big hit!  Everyone LOVED it! 

People laughed.  They cried.  They hummed along.  And they identified!

As people were leaving the theater they said they were already looking forward to our next production.  They said they would return and they would bring family and friends. 

The word is out.  The MUSIC CLINIC THEATRE COMPANY is legitimate, professional-grade theater.

Many thanks to our patrons, our friends, our families, our cast and crew for a wonderful run!  See you at the Theatre!!!

The rooms are nice and cool though, so come in out of the heat and learn to play some smokin’ tunes!
