In Hotchkiss Recital Hall on Tuesday, November 30th at 6:30 p.m. the Department of Music presented a cabaret featuring performers from the musical theatre ensemble course. The cabaret was hosted and directed by Visiting Assistant Professor of Music Ernest Green with Lecturer in Music Carolene Winter playing accompaniment on the piano. The performance started with senior Michael Nichols and junior Dylan Snow singing “Found/Tonight,” a mash-up of songs from the popular musicals Dear Evan Hansen, and Hamilton. Next up was senior Maggie Poppiti with her rendition of “I’ll Be Here,” from the musical Ordinary Days. Students didn’t just sing musical tunes, junior Lexi Meola sang Adele’s “Chasing Pavements,” and sophomore Grace Apostol sang Etta James’ jazz classic “At Last.” Sophomore Delaney Runge graced the stage with her version of “Times are Hard for Dreamers” from the musical Amélie based on the popular French film of the same name. Up next was senior Meagan Jenkins, who sang the titular piece from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Love Never Dies. The popular Disney stage musical Newsies made an appearance when freshman Parker Thornton performed “Watch What Happens.” To end the performance, Maggie Poppiti hopped on stage again to perform “The Wizard and I,” from the Broadway musical Wicked. The cabaret was a great way for students to come down from their first full semester back on campus, sing for fun, and discover new music, all with no pressure.
