<\/a>\u201cI think a real variety, I mean that\u2019s the number-one thing people are often looking for in a cabaret,\u201d says Marshall. \u201cA lot of the general performance-going audience are familiar with some of the classic musicals and there\u2019s an air of nostalgia about hearing some of those great musical numbers from the musicals of the \u201940s, \u201950s, \u201960s, and so on. But there\u2019s also really innovative and exciting new musicals that are being developed that haven\u2019t toured in this region yet, and haven\u2019t been necessarily produced by companies because they might still be running on Broadway. So, it\u2019s a chance to also give our audience a flavour of some of the musicals they may have heard about but never had the chance to listen to and see, and give them a taste of what some of that music is. So it\u2019s really a celebration of musical theatre of past and present.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marshall says that the best part of putting the show together was being able to make it happen in person.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best part for me right now, I think, is being able to return to intimate in-person events,\u201d he says. \u201cTo be able to go back to live performance in more social environments like the Fernwood [Inn], where you can eat, and drink, and relax and see a great show intimately that\u2019s not through a screen. It really is a celebration of everything that makes live performance great.\u201d<\/p>\n
The main challenge that Marshall faced during the production of the series came down to finding a place to do the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the challenge was finding a venue and, you know, that was sort of an idea of looking for a new venue and a new partnership. But, that fell into place very easily and we are very excited to partner with the Fernwood Inn, but this will be the first time we\u2019ve done a show there,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Marshall says that he believes that audiences play a big part when it comes to going to see a performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cAudiences play a really important part,\u201d he says. \u201cNot just to be able to come for enjoyment, and I think they will have a fantastic evening and really enjoy it, but also, performers need audiences. And, for young performers that are in their training, it\u2019s a really valuable relationship to have that shared energy with a live audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marshall says that the main thing he would love his audiences to take away is an opportunity to see fresh performers that are in early stages of their careers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think this will be a chance for audiences to see performers at an early stage in their career, who I have every confidence will go onto great things, and some day that audience will be able to say \u2018I saw that person at the Fernwood do a cabaret,\u2019 once their careers have exploded and they\u2019re finding great success.\u201d<\/p>\n
