THREE'S Company presents a new show, singing the praises of Cole Porter.
It's Delightful, It's Deloveley, It's Cole Porter is presented at Quedgeley Village Hall on Wednesday, February 1 (7.30pm).
The company formed in 1995 and members established themselves by captivating audiences throughout the UK with their shows Sing Something Sondheim, West End Magic, Tin Pan Alley and An Evening with Cole Porter.
The delightful ballads of Cole Porter receive a new lease of life in the capable hands of Three's Company, as they take you on a whirlwind journey through the dazzling life of one of the last century's finest popular composers.
Night and Day, I Get a Kick Out of You, Begin the Beguine and many other clever, funny, romantic songs, came from the pen of Cole Porter.
One of the trio said: "He was unmatched as a tunesmith, and his Broadway musicals - Kiss me Kate, Anything Goes, Silk Stockings, Can Can - set the standards of style and wit to which today's composers and lyricists aspire."
Three's Company don't just sing to audiences, they bring each song to life.
Keith Freemantle, from Quedgeley Village Hall, said: "This show is being brought to Gloucestershire people at a reasonable cost in conjunction with the Arts in Rural Gloucestershire scheme."
During one season, Three's Company was included on 12 rural touring schemes and performed at more than 100 village halls.
