OSCARS GLITZ & GLAMOUR IN CESSNOCK Get along to the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre this month as they bring a slice of big screen glitz and glamour with An Evening with Oscar: The Greatest Hits From Hollywood on Friday 26 August from 8pm.
Local pianist and musical maestro Greg Paterson will present almost two hours of entertainment, drawing from an extensive songbook of the silver screen’s most memorable and timeless productions. The result is a carefully curated selection of songs from the ‘40s to today with one thing in common – they’ve all taken home Tinseltown’s most sought-after prize, the coveted golden statuette. Greg and his ensemble would be familiar faces to anyone who has attended Carols in the Park at Cessnock Sportsground over the years, having performed at the event since its inception. The team were also behind last year’s smash hit Studio Sounds event Best of Broadway evening. Tickets are $49pp and include a complimentary drink on arrival. Patrons can choose between either cabaret or tiered seating for the performance. For tickets and more information, visit www. cessnockperformingartscentre. com.au.
