“The Greatest Show” is the powerful opening song from the 2017 musical film “The Greatest Showman.” The music and lyrics are by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Sung by Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum, the song sets the stage for the grand spectacle that follows in the film, emphasizing the themes of ambition and imagination. The energetic and anthemic nature of the music reflects the larger-than-life story of the legendary circus impresario.

“Singing in the Rain” is a lively and iconic song performed by Gene Kelly in the 1952 film of the same name. The song, with music by Nacio Herb Brown and lyrics by Arthur Freed, was originally introduced on Broadway and in the film, “Hollywood Revue of 1929.” This joyous song is accompanied by a memorable dance sequence in which Kelly dances in the rain, creating one of the most famous scenes in cinematic history. The song encapsulates the exuberance and optimism of the film’s characters during the transition from silent films to talkies.

“Born to Hand Jive” is a lively rock and roll song from the 1978 film version of the 1972 Off-Broadway hit musical “Grease.” Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, the music is performed during the high school dance scene, featuring energetic choreography and showcasing the cast’s musical talents. The catchy tune and playful lyrics contribute to the film’s nostalgic portrayal of teenage romance and the vibrant 1950s era.

“Do You Love Me?” is a poignant and memorable song from the classic musical film and stage productions of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Set in the fictional village of Anatevka, the song, with music by Jerry Bock and Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, explores the evolving dynamics of love within a marriage. Tevye, portrayed by Chaim Topol, and Golde, played by Norma Crane, engage in a heartfelt and introspective duet as they ponder the nature of their relationship. The lyrics reflect the challenges and compromises inherent in long-term partnerships, touching upon themes of commitment, duty, and the endurance of love. With its emotional resonance and powerful vocal performances, “Do You Love Me?” stands as a standout moment in the film, capturing the essence of the character’s journey through the complexities of love in the face of cultural and societal changes.

“Luck Be A Lady” is a timeless musical number from the 1955 film adaptation of the Broadway classic “Guys and Dolls.” In this cinematic rendition, the song is performed with captivating charisma by Marlon Brando, who takes on the role of the suave gambler Sky Masterson. The scene unfolds in the bustling atmosphere of a lively craps game, where Brando’s character expresses his conflicting emotions through the lyrics penned by Frank Loesser. As Brando rolls the dice and serenades his love interest, Sarah Brown, portrayed by Jean Simmons, the song becomes a pivotal moment in the film, capturing the tension between love and the thrill of taking risks. Brando’s rendition adds a distinctive touch, making “Luck Be a Lady” an unforgettable and iconic moment in the cinematic adaptation of “Guys and Dolls.”

The “My Fair Lady Medley” encapsulates the timeless charm and brilliance of the 1964 film adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. Composed by Frederick Loewe with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, the medley showcases three iconic songs that have become synonymous with the enchanting narrative of “My Fair Lady.” “I Could Have Danced All Night” is a soaring and jubilant expression of Eliza Doolittle’s newfound joy and liberation, beautifully captured in Audrey Hepburn’s captivating performance. The medley also features “I’ve Grown Accustomed to His Face,” a poignant ballad that captures the emotional complexity of Professor Henry Higgins as he grapples with realizing his feelings for Eliza. The tender melody evokes a sense of vulnerability and introspection, making it a standout moment in both the film and the musical. Concluding with the classic “On the Street Where You Live,” the medley takes us through the romantic journey of Freddy Eynsford-Hill, his love for Eliza palpable in the lush orchestration and heartfelt lyrics.

PROGRAM NOTES

Two songs from tonight’s program were featured in the 1993 hit film “Sleepless in Seattle.” “Stardust” is a now-classic song from 1927 with music by Hoagy Carmichael. Originally recorded as an instrumental melody, lyrics were added two years later by Mitchell Parish. Nat King Cole performs the version used in the film. The hauntingly beautiful melody of “Stardust” complements the movie’s nostalgic and dreamy atmosphere, enhancing the love story’s emotional impact. “When I Fall in Love” is a timeless ballad with music by Victor Young and lyrics by Edward Heyman. It originally appeared in the Howard Hughes movie, “One Minute to Zero.” The song was popularized by Doris Day in 1952. Celine Dion and Clive Griffin perform the version in the film. The song beautifully captures the romantic essence of the movie as it underscores critical moments in the developing relationship between the characters played by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.

“If I Were the King of the Forest” and “Over The Rainbow” are two classic songs from the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz; the music was written by Harold Arlen, with lyrics provided by E.Y. Harburg. “Over The Rainbow,” performed by Judy Garland, is an iconic song that reflects the character Dorothy’s longing for a better place beyond the rainbow, and its timeless melody has made it a symbol of hope and dreams. Bert Lahr delivers a lively performance of “If I Were the King of the Forest.” The song captures the whimsical aspirations of the Cowardly Lion as he imagines himself as the mighty ruler of the animal kingdom. This comical and theatrical number adds a touch of humor to the beloved film, showcasing the Lion’s bravery despite his initial fears.

“What Was I Made For?” Featured in the 2024 film “Barbie,” “What Was I Made For?” is a captivating and introspective song by Billie Eilish. “What Was I Made For?” charted worldwide, topping the Billboard Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart and peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song earned five nominations at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year. It won Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media.

“You’ll Never Walk Alone*” is a poignant and inspirational ballad from the musical film adaptation of the Broadway classic “Carousel,” featuring music by Richard Rodgers and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The song is performed in a pivotal moment of the film, conveying a message of reassurance and encouragement. In this emotional ballad, the character Nettie Fowler sings to comfort and uplift Julie Jordan, the female lead, during a challenging time. The lyrics evoke a sense of solace and hope, assuring the listener that they are not alone, even in adversity. “You’ll Never Walk Alone” has transcended its origins in musical theater, becoming an enduring anthem of support and unity. Its moving melody and timeless lyrics have made it a beloved classic.

“Climb Every Mountain*” is a powerful and inspirational song from the 1965 film version of the enduring Broadway musical, “The Sound of Music.” Composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, the song is performed by Mother Abbess (Peggy Wood, whose singing voice was dubbed by Margery MacKay). The song encourages Maria, played by Julie Andrews, to embrace challenges and pursue her dreams. The song has become an enduring symbol of determination and perseverance.

“Another Day of Sun” is the lively opening number from the 2016 musical film “La La Land,” with music by Justin Hurwitz and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Sung by the ensemble cast, the song sets the vibrant and optimistic tone for the movie, depicting the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. The energetic choreography and upbeat melody contribute to the film’s celebration of Hollywood dreams and aspirations.

* Tonight’s medley featuring “You’ll Never Walk Alone” with “Climb Every Mountain,” arranged by Mark Hayes in 2018 for the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida, offers a powerful and emotionally charged musical experience.

“Gee, Officer Krupke” is a humorous and satirical song from the 1961 film “West Side Story.” Composed for the ever-popular Broadway stage version in 1957 by Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the song is a streetwise, tongue-in-cheek look at young people’s challenges in a gritty urban setting. The Jets use the song to mock the authority figure, Officer Krupke while shedding light on the societal issues affecting their lives.

“The Trolley Song” is a joyful musical number sung by Judy Garland in the 1944 film “Meet Me in St. Louis,” the song was composed by Ralph Blane and Hugh Martin. “The Trolley Song” celebrates the excitement of a trolley ride and reflects the romantic feelings of the characters. Its catchy tune and energetic lyrics contribute to the movie’s overall charm. It is set in the early 20th century.

“If They Could See Me Now” was featured in the 1969 film adaptation of the stage musical “Sweet Charity,” written by Cy Coleman (music) and Dorothy Fields (lyrics). Sung by Shirley MacLaine as the protagonist, Charity Hope Valentine, the song is a jubilant expression of her newfound success and the glamorous life she imagines, capturing the essence of the character’s optimism and resilience. A popular disco/dance version of the song was recorded in 1978 by Linda Clifford, a “Sweet Charity” film extra. Her version of the song became a #1 Billboard disco hit!

“Men in Tights” is a humorous and catchy song from the 1993 comedy film “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.” The music, written by Mel Brooks, Evan Chandler, and Hummie Mann, is performed by the characters as they celebrate their unique take on the legendary outlaw. The lighthearted and comedic tone of the song aligns perfectly with the film’s parody of Robin Hood folklore.

“Queen of the Night” is an electrifying and powerful song performed by Whitney Houston in the 1992 film “The Bodyguard.” Co-written by Whitney Houston, L.A. Reid, Babyface, and Daryl Simmons, the song showcases Houston’s vocal prowess and is featured during a thrilling action sequence in the film. The energetic and sultry performance adds to the soundtrack’s success, making it an integral part of the film’s musical impact.

“Shallow” is a critically acclaimed duet from the 2018 musical drama “A Star is Born,” starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Co-written by Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando, and Mark Ronson, the song is a pivotal moment in the film, showcasing the chemistry between the characters and addressing themes of vulnerability and authenticity. The song received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

“Home” is a poignant ballad from the 1978 film adaptation of the Broadway musical “The Wiz.” Composed by Charlie Smalls, the song is sung in the film by Diana Ross as Dorothy. The emotional lyrics and soulful melody convey Dorothy’s longing for a place where she feels a sense of belonging, adding depth to the film’s reinterpretation of the classic “Wizard of Oz” story in an urban African-American context.

“Hail Holy Queen” is a gospel-infused anthem featured in the 1992 film “Sister Act.” Written by Marc Shaiman, the song is performed by the nuns in the movie, led by Whoopi Goldberg’s character, Deloris Van Cartier. The energetic and soulful rendition adds a joyous and uplifting element to the film as the nuns transform their choir into a lively musical force. Another standout from the “Sister Act” franchise, “Joyful, Joyful,” is a lively and contemporary gospel rendition performed by the cast in the 1993 film “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.” The song is a modern take on Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” with additional lyrics by Mervyn Warren. The energetic and uplifting performance reflects the transformative power of music and community.

MARK B. KENT

Welcome to our spring concert!

In South Florida, we see a little shift in the temperature when we see changes in our seasons. Still, there are changes all around us this time of year. Even our heatloving tropical plants are pushing out new growth. Just as nature bursts forward with vitality, so does the spirit of the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida. This evening, I invite you to immerse yourselves in our music, passionately delivered by our growing ensemble of diverse and dedicated singers. They put in countless hours to sing and ceaselessly pursue harmony onstage and in the community.

As we raise our voices tonight, we celebrate great music and our incredible community. However, as we celebrate, we know we still have more to do. This is an election year, making it a crucial time to have public, positive representations of the LGBTQ+ community. And nobody does this better than GMCSF. To do what we do, we must have your financial support. The admissions from tonight’s performance will only cover about 50% of the direct cost of producing and presenting this fabulous concert. We rely on donations and grants to cover the rest of our expenses. Your support is necessary for us to keep bringing quality concerts to South Florida. Please use the enclosed envelope or give online at www.gmcsf.org

Thank you for being here this evening and for showing your continued support. Without you, the music would die. You are a vital part of who we are and what we do, and I thank you so very much.

Sincerely,

WE’VE COME SO FAR IN OUR LIFETIME

Let’s Keep the Momentum Going! So many of us recall when television would never show two people of the same gender sharing a kiss… or holding hands. Now, we live in a time when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of marriage equality. We’ve accomplished so much, yet there is much more to do. Since the late 1970s, the LGBTQ+ Choral Movement has been a crucial tool for advocacy, unity, and education. GMCSF is proud to continue this legacy through our music. We are pleased to serve as cultural ambassadors for our community and provide a voice for those who do not have one. Help ensure this work continues by joining The Pegasus Society’s planned giving program. In addition, by including GMCSF in your estate planning, you can help sustain our organization and keep our voices carrying long into the future.

We invite you to join the members of The Pegasus Society today. If you want to amend your current estate, contact Mark Kent at (954) 763-2266 ext. 109 or mkent@gmcsf.org.

Establish a Legacy Fund with our community partner, The Our Fund Foundation; contact Mark Blaylock at 954-565-1090 or email MBlaylock@Our-Fund.org.

DONOR HIGHLIGHT

THE CHIC & UNIQUE BALL

THE 2023 GMCSF FUNDRAISER, THE CHIC & UNIQUE BALL DEBUTS TO RAVE REVIEWS!

The theme of our inaugural Chic and Unique Ball on November 4 was “A Red-Carpet Extravaganza.” Our fabulous guests turned out in style! It was a festive evening of food, auctions, and live entertainment as we raised vital cash to support the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida. The Ball’s VIP guests began their evening at a cocktail reception on the rooftop of the newly renovated Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort; then, they joined the rest of our fans at the Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. Our heartfelt “thank you” to our fantastic guests and event sponsors, The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Kimpton Shorebreak Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Brand g Vacations, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Holy Cross Health, and Rosie’s Bar & Grill, who sponsored in memory of Douglas Jackson Pew.
