Now, in the limbo between the rehearsals of shows, we are presenting the UBC Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s Fifth Annual Musical Revue!  Our revues are a fun collection of the club’s favourite musical numbers as allocated to a common theme: this year, “Masquerade”.

Featuring numbers like “Facade” from Jekyll and Hyde, “Masquerade” from Phantom of the Opera, “Master of the House” from Les Miserables and others from the musicals Chorus Line, Spamalot, Chicago, Annie and Wicked among the multitude.

There is only a one-off performance, so be sure to visit the Student Union Building Ballroom at UBC on April 1st at 8:00PM to see it!  The admission fee is $5, paid in cash at the door. Come for the singing and dancing and general revelry.  Best of all?  Come in Costume.

We are all very excited, and we woul d love for you to be there!
