A group of local singers will step into the spotlight when members of Whitsunday Choral Voices join the cast of Your Song for a special one-night-only performance at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre this July.
Presented on Thursday, 30th July, Your Song celebrates Elton John’s iconic music through powerful storytelling and live performance. For the Proserpine show, local choir members will become part of the production in a unique theatrical collaboration.
Over a series of rehearsals, 20–25 singers from Whitsunday Choral Voices will work alongside Your Song creator and director Naomi Price and music supervisor Luke Kennedy to prepare a special contribution to the performance.
More than a traditional choir appearance, local performers will also share their own personal stories connected to Elton John’s music. These stories will be spoken live during the show before the choir joins the cast for a moving performance of Candle in the Wind.
The collaboration reflects the heart of Your Song — a celebration of real people and real stories inspired by Elton John’s extraordinary catalogue — and ensures the Proserpine performance carries a truly local voice.
The choir will perform alongside acclaimed vocalists Jason Arrow, Luke Kennedy, Irena Lysiuk and John O’Hara, backed by a live band.
Entertainment Manager at the PEC, Brett Annable, said the opportunity was a wonderful way to connect a nationally acclaimed production with local performers.
“This is a really special opportunity for local singers to be part of a major touring production while sharing their own stories on stage. It adds a meaningful Whitsunday element to the performance and creates a memorable experience for both the choir and the audience.”
