Fairfax County police re-sponded Monday afternoon for a welfare check in

the 6000 block of Raina Drive andfound a Centreville couple deadinside their London Commonshome — both with apparent gun-shot wounds to the upper body.Police arrived, April 12, around2:55 p.m., and located the bodiesof 60-year-old Wayne Woodyard,and 52-year-old Jill Woodyard.

According to police, the incident

appears domestic in nature. “Pre-liminary indications suggest thatMr. Woodyard shot Mrs. Woodyardand then committed suicide,” saidpolice spokesman Bud Walker. “Wedon’t know what the motive was,at this time. We may never know.”

He said police were asked tocheck on the couple’s welfare by amember of the family, but he hadno specific information about thefamily. He also didn’t know whatWayne Woodyard did for a living

and did not disclose exactly wherein the home the bodies werefound.

The medical examiner is doingan autopsy on them, and Walkersaid, “there was contact” with oneof the victims and someone else,the day before the tragedy, so po-lice don’t believe they were de-ceased “for long” before they werediscovered.

Meanwhile, the investigation iscontinuing. Anyone with informa-

tion is asked to contact Crime solv-ers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477, e-mailat www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org ortext “TIP187” plus a message to

The show will run for two weekends: Friday-Saturday, April 23, 24, and Friday-Saturday, April

“It’s such a nice blend of duets,trios and groups, plus solos whereindividuals get a chance to shine,”said Stacy Crickmer of Chantilly’sPleasant Valley community. “Andwe’ve really tried to find some-thing from every decade that willappeal to everyone.”

Joe Philipoom is the show direc-tor and Charlie Manship is themusic director. Manship will alsoaccompany the performers on pi-ano, and both he and Philipoomwill sing, too. Praising their direc-tion, Crickmer said, “Since they’reboth performers, they knowwhat’ll sound good and look goodto the audience.”

The show highlights music fromBroadway shows including “Fid-dler on the Roof,” “Singing in the

Rain,” “Thoroughly ModernMillie” and “Rent,” as well as atribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber.Numbers range from uptemposongs to emotional ballads.There’s even a do-wop medley fea-turing “In the Still of the Night”and “Save the Last Dance for Me.”

“I’m excited because I get to doa tap number – Gene Kelly’s ‘Sing-ing in the Rain’ – and Gene Kelly’smy hero,” said Crickmer, who’schoreographing with DanicaShook. “It’s unusual because tapis something you don’t usually seein community theater, and thesong was originally written for aman.”

But she said her happiest mo-ments are when she’s performingwith a group because “when weall come together, it’s like a fam-ily. The core group has been to-gether three years now and we’vegotten to know each other asfriends, too, so the camaraderieand relationships are all year’round. And because we’re havingso much fun up there, we’re hop-ing it’s infectious and the audiencewill have fun, too.”

Fairfax County police have arrested six men inconnection with two, home-invasion robberies — one of them in Centreville. The crimes

happened in March, and police believe other similarrobberies have gone unreported by the victims.

A police investigation began March 22 when fourmen were detained in Rockville, Md., for a trafficviolation. Police say drugs and evidence of othercrimes in Fairfax County were allegedly found in-side the vehicle. They say further investigation re-portedly tied these men to a March 12 home-inva-sion robbery in Centreville and to the same offense,March 22, in Burke. According to police, some of

the victims were present at both robberies.In the March 22 robbery, say police, around 1:30

a.m. four men “brazenly barged in” on a group ofmen playing cards in the 9400 block of CloverdaleCourt in Burke. Authorities say at least one of thesuspects allegedly impersonated a police officer andwore a black T-shirt with the word “Police” writtenon it. The masked suspects brandished guns, took

cash, jewelry and credit cards, then tied up thevictims and fled.

Charged with two counts of robbery, two countsof use of a firearm in the commission of a felony,

With songs and characters from 10years of theatrical productions at theschool, Bull Run Elementary presents “Bull Run on Broadway.” It’s a

free show, slated for Tuesday-Wednesday, April 20-21, at 2 and 7 p.m., in the school cafeteria.

“It’s a celebration of Bull Run’s theater program,in honor of the school’s 10th anniversary,” said The-ater Director Jolie Kelly. “So I wrote an original scriptfeaturing numbers from all the shows we’ve done.It’s presented by the Bull Run chorus and over 200students are involved.”

Highlighted will be scenes and musical routinesfrom “Annie Jr.,” “Freedom Bound,” “Snoopy,”“Honk!” “The Little Mermaid,” Aladdin,” “Mulan,”“Alice in Wonderland” and “Beauty and the Beast.”

Students have been rehearsing since December,and Kelly said it’s been challenging because “we’vegot so many numbers and special effects. But thekids are working really hard and the show shouldbe great entertainment for all ages.”

In the story, the characters from the various playsinteract with each other. Lucy from “Peanuts,” plusAnnie and Alice from their respective shows, wantto become members of the Princess Club becausemost of Bull Run’s plays had a princess in them. Sothe three girls interact with Princess Jasmine from“Aladdin,” Princess Mulan from “Mulan” and Prin-cess Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” and Snow Whiteand Cinderella make special, guest appearances.

PARENTS are helping in several ways. Craig Dykstrais doing special effects; Linda Tobin, costumes; and

Jon and Melissa Greenberg, sets. Holli Tippl is cho-reographing, along with two guest choreographers,alumni Max Ehrlich, now a student at Westfield High,and former Bull Run parent Yvonne Henry. Musicdirectors are Bull Run music teachers Ruth Wygal,Kelly Butler-Noel and Lauren Hentz.

Kelly said the show should be a real crowd-pleaser.“There’s lots of Disney music, songs people have heardbefore and beloved characters they know so well,”she said. “And our special effects include magicalcookies that’ll turn girls into princesses.”

Sixth-grader Madison McCrory portrays both Pep-permint Patty from “Snoopy” and Miss Hannigan from“Annie Jr.” Wearing a red-striped shirt and frecklesdotted onto her cheeks, she described PeppermintPatty as “a loudmouth who’s sometimes disruptive inclass. She’s athletic and likes sports and can be prettyfunny, at times, when she’s not trying to be.”

“It’s a fun role because you can be kind of crazywith it and let yourself go into the character,” saidMadison. Her favorite part of the show, however, isthe “Friend Like Me” number in “Aladdin” because“it’s magical and the genie puts a lot of energy intohis character. And it’s really cool because people inthe ensemble do cartwheels and splits. It’s a reallybig scene and is going to be really good.”

PLAYING ANNIE is classmate Sara Freix. “She’s big-hearted, excited and optimistic,” said Sara. “Eventhough she has a crummy life at the orphanage, she’sreally hopeful. I like her attitude and her songs, es-pecially ‘Tomorrow’ because it’s only me singing, andit’s a little challenging, so I had to work to get it down.And I like its message that tomorrow’s a new day.”

Sara loves acting and being onstage and says theaudience will like the show’s choreography with themusic. Her favorite dance is for the song, “I Don’tNeed Anything But You.”

Sixth-grader Adam Waldmiller is playing bothCharlie Brown and Daddy Warbucks. He calls CharlieBrown “a lovable loser who just wants to be under

THE DRAMA BOOSTERS will host a“Mad Hatter Tea Party” with tea, punch andcookies, at 2:30 p.m., for those attendingthe April 25 matinee. The free event isgeared for children, and cast members willmingle with guests and pose for photos.

Excited about the production, Hudson isimpressed by how much his actors love thisshow, and he says they’re doing a great job.“We’re stepping away from the cartoon im-age, so we’re using people in place of wildcreatures,” he said. “The humans take onthe aspects of the characters they’re play-ing. It’ll be darker, but not scary. People willrecognize all the scenes, plus we’ll evenhave a surprise element.”

The sets will also have a distinctive touch.“We’re doing a lot with games,” saidHudson. “The first act is based on cardgames, and the second act, chess. So thestage floor will be tricked out to look like achess board, with projections on the backcurtain and lighting quickly switching pat-terns and colors. There’ll also be some cre-ative, imaginative use of technology to por-tray the Cheshire Cat.”

Senior Annemarie Scerra is playing Alice,a 7-1/2-year-old girl curious about every-thing. “She knows right from wrong, but it

won’t prevent her from checking thingsout,” said Scerra. “She enters her own worldof imagination and meets different people,creatures and people with animalistic char-acteristics.”

She’s enjoying being onstage with a vari-ety of actors and playing this role. “Alice isnaïve, but also smart enough to realize thesecharacters can’t be trusted,” said Scerra.“But they’re so daring and bold that itdoesn’t matter to her. It’s a real honor play-ing the lead – and it’s my last show atCentreville – so it’s like going out with abang. It’s for all ages; everybody knows thebasic storyline, the songs are engaging andthe makeup, costumes and set make it vi-sually entertaining.”

Portraying the White Knight is seniorAaron Sulkin. “He’s charismatic, outgoingand outspoken,” said Sulkin. “He’s a goodguy – a little scatterbrained, but with goodintentions. He wants Alice taken care of,even though he, himself, is pretty helpless,and he adds a comedic element to theshow.”

Sulkin likes his character’s physical act-ing and pratfalls. “And my costume style is‘steam punk’ – Industrial Revolution meetsmad scientist meets teen fashion state-ment,” he said. “I wear period clothes withcool goggles and sing, ‘Sitting on a Gate.’The knight’s singing to Alice, who’s sad he’sleaving, so he’s trying to comfort her. Hethinks his song is beautiful, but it’s actuallyquite silly and bizarre.”

either a sad or a funny way. Like him,I can be down at times, but happy atother times.”

He really likes the “Zippity DooDah” song because “it cheers me upwhen I hear it. The message is to justbe yourself and have fun.” Generally,said Adam, “I think the audience willreally like the funny scenes our di-rector added to integrate all the

shows together. For example, in thescene where Lucy tries to join thePrincess Club, Snoopy comes alongand kisses her.”

Classmate Connor Schutte portraysthe dogcatcher from “Annie Jr.” andCapt. Shang from “Mulan.” He espe-cially enjoys being the Army captainbecause “he’s tough and strong — areal leader. But when he realizes hismen are all wimps and don’t knowhow to fight, he works them to thebone to teach them. It’s fun because,

in class, I help keep the other kids inline.”

Connor likes his song, “I’ll Make aMan Out of You” because it’s a giant,epic fight scene with bamboo sticksand swords.” Overall, he said, itshould be a terrific show because“we’re taking all the showstoppersongs from each play. They’re theones everyone remembers, andpeople will hear their favorite Disneysongs. They’ll sing along and every-one will really enjoy it.”

Ingargiola’s having fun because“I get to use a lot of energy and afunny voice, and I show upthroughout the show. This play’sgoing to be amazing visually, withbright costumes and special, tech-nical effects, plus lighting to setthe moods of the various scenes.There’ll also be a huge mirror –the Looking Glass – through whichAlice enters Wonderland, and it’lllook really cool.”

Cole, both juniors, play Tweedledum andTweedledee, respectively. “We’re twin broth-ers who finish each other’s sentences,” saidNick. “We take turns reading a poem andhave the same mannerisms,” said Mitch.“We’re two people with one mind,” addedNick. “We’re self-centered, selfish and at-tention-seeking.”

“I feel like Tweedledum is the silly oneand Tweedledee is more serious,” saidMitch. “I feel like I lead Tweedledum andpull him along. I ask Alice questions and

speak for both of us. I like that he and I areconnected on stage – we link arms – andour movements are big and silly, so our char-acters are fun to play. And the fact that weget to wear fat suits is cool.”

Overall, said Nick, this play’s a classic.“The words are funny, but have a seriousmeaning and are comments on society andlife in general. And the characters have suchlarge personalities that the audience willconstantly be entertained – there’s never adull moment.”

Letters

By Amandeep Kaur

Mountain View Student

Some lucky seniors at Moun-tain View Alternative HighSchool have been the recipi-

ents of two financial awards eachyear for the last several years froman organization called Turn-around, LLC. Lauren Kirby, thefounder and president, says“Thank you for helping my twosons graduate from high school”every time she gives the award.Her motivation behind helpinggraduates is her son Kevin Kirby,who graduated from MountainView high school in 2007. She gotthe idea for the financial awardsat his graduation ceremony. Be-cause she really appreciatedMountain View and the teacherswho helped her son finish highschool, she decided to create thisgift as a way to give back. Mrs.Kirby not only gives these two fi-nancial awards each year, she alsois on the board of directors of anorganization called FACETS. FAC-ETS help the homeless in FairfaxCounty with housing, temporaryshelter, food, and life skills train-ing.

When Mountain View teacher,Anne Hoffman, was looking for aspecial service project for theMountain View Mentor Program,she asked Sharon Debragga at theschool for ideas. Mrs. Debragga,who coordinates the TurnAround,LLC financial awards and knew ofMrs. Kirby’s work with FACETS,suggested making a donation toFACETS as a way to pay forwardwhat Mrs. Kirby had been doingfor the school. The decision wasmade to collect pantry items forFACETS and get the students in-volved.

Mrs. Hoffman and several otherteachers coordinated the collec-tion and donation of the pantry

items and the students and teach-ers alike brought bars of soap,toothpaste, toothbrush, and hy-giene items. Working with FACETSemployee, Carrie Idol, the datewas set for March 17. To make thedelivery extra special, Mrs.Hoffman sought Kevin Kirby’shelp. Kevin met the group at theschool and helped transport thedonations to the FACETS office inFairfax. Kevin said, “I really likedMountain View and the teachers.While I was there, I enjoyed beinga part of this school.” Asked howhe feels about what his mom hasdone for the students, he said, “Iam proud of my mom and whatshe does for Mountain View andFACETS.”

FACETS was thrilled to receivethis donation from the MountainView students and teachers. WhenI asked about her position at FAC-ETS, Carrie Idol responded, “I re-ally enjoy my work, and I like tohelp other people. This donationwill bring much-needed items toour homeless clients.”

According to Mrs. Hoffman, “Be-cause Mrs. Kirby is helping Moun-tain View students we wanted tothank her with this donation toFACETS.” Mrs. Kirby worked withMrs. Hoffman to give studentAmandeep Kaur the opportunity tobe the reporter on the day of thedonation and mentored her towrite this article. When we allwork together—for the commongood—everybody wins.

ProtectingState SovereigntyTo the Editor:

I, and many of my neighbors andfriends, strongly object to the as-sertion made by [Centre View pub-lisher Mary] Kimm, namely thatKen Cuccinelli (Virginia’s AttorneyGeneral) is “wasting funds” bypursuing a suit against the FederalGovernment in its massive take-over of Health Care.

I suppose the loss of life on thebeaches of Normandy was also awaste? What price freedom? Andmake no mistake, that is what isat stake here.

To put protection of State Sov-ereignty in the same “decision-making” category as the dutiesassociated with “providing infor-mation on security theft andremediation, help Social Servicescollect child support, prosecutecertain environmental and com-puter crimes, enforce laws thatprotect businesses and customers... utilitity matters,” and so forthis absurd. The primary duty ofState Attorney General, and theone being attended to in the suit,is to protect our Commonwealthfrom power grabs unauthorized bythe U.S. Constitution. Nowhere inthe list of ennumerated powers isthe Federal Government grantedanything remotely like what hasbeen “legislated” by U.S. Houseand Senate. Article X of the Con-stitution states that any area notcovered by the ennumerated pow-ers is reserved to the states andlocalities.

Many of us, as parents, have saidto our children, “when you startpaying the mortgage, you get todecide on the house color,” orsome such. What is implied is thatthe payer of a service makes thecall. I do not want my Governmentdoing everything for me. If theypay, they make the call. Get it? Putanother way, when they pay, I loseliberty.

Thank you Ken Cuccinelli forbringing suit, and for not beingswayed by the inane argumenta-tion of Mary Kimm and her com-panions, who trade their birthright(freedom) for a bowl of lentil stew(government handouts). I for one,am not ready to trust the FederalGovernment to make all my deci-sions for me.

Paul S. KraftCentreville

An ‘Activist’Attorney GeneralTo the Editor:

Thank you for your Centre Vieweditorial April 8-14. People needto know first what Cuccinelli, whomade no bones about becoming an

“activist” Attorney General whenhe was running for office, is do-ing, and second, how much hisideological lawsuits against thefederal government are going tocost taxpayers during a recessionwhen cuts

are being made to schools andother core services.

Virginia is making nationalnews, and the wrong kind of it.Besides Cuccinelli’s follies, wehave McDonnell’s proclamationrecognizing April as “ConfederateHistory Month” filling our air-waves.

Elections matter. Even mid-termelections.

David CooperCentreville

Cuccinelli WillSave MoneyTo the Editor:

Reading the Centre View’s attackon Cuccinelli’s legal challenge tothe health care mandate remindsme of the media forgetting abouthomelessness when Clinton wasPresident and “rediscovering” itwhen Bush was inaugurated.

The Warner and Kaine adminis-trations presided over the largesttax and spending increases inVirginia’s history, including send-ing nearly $200,000 a year to thenation’s largest abortion provider,Planned Parenthood. But not oneword from the Centre View aboutcost, until now.

If Cuccinelli’s lawsuit is success-ful, Virginia will save about $1.1billion from 2015-2022. There’seven more savings to individualsand businesses — includingyoung, healthy Virginians who willbe forced to buy more health in-surance than they may wish to,small businesses of 50 workerswho will have to pay a $2,200/peremployee fine if their insuranceplans do not meet government re-quirements, and retirees who willlose their employer coverage be-cause Congress took away the cor-porate tax credit to companieswho cared for retirees.

Centre View “blushes” atCuccinelli’s actions. Good grief!What does the Centre View thinkabout Virginia’s Patrick Henry’s farmore radical and costly “Give meliberty or give me death” speech?Benjamin Franklin said, “Theywho can give up essential libertyto obtain a little temporary safetydeserve neither liberty nor safety.”Cuccinelli is not even asking Vir-ginia to give up safety — only$350 in filing fees.

Attend Concert,Support FundsTo the Editor:

I would like to invite everyonefrom the community to join us onSaturday, April 24 at 7 p.m. in theWestfield High School auditoriumto hear the City Singers and Youth-ful Spirits, two wonderful choralgroups, who have volunteered toperform on behalf of the Reema J.Samaha and Erin Peterson Memo-rial Scholarship Funds.

The City Singers is an outreachensemble of the City Choir ofWashington, a 110-voice chorusdrawing singers from all over themetropolitan area. The City Sing-ers were created to perform qual-ity choral music, such as spiritu-als, show tunes, folk music, patri-otic songs and popular music. TheCity Singers, directed by DanielleSpriggs, perform for a variety ofaudiences who cannot attend aconcert hall, such as hospital pa-tients, residents of senior livingfacilities and the homeless. TheCity Choir, directed by RoberShafer, began in 2007; they haveopened their seasons with worksfrom Handel.

The Youthful Spirits is a groupof young men from Mount OliveBaptist Church in Centreville whohave performed since 1993. Rang-ing in age from 18 to 43, theseyoung men sing gospel music andhave performed at nursing homes,the Patriot Center, the Verizon Cen-ter, the Supreme Court, and theNational Mall. Their radio broad-casts have been heard all over theUnited States, Canada and Africa.The Youthful Spirits will celebratetheir 17th anniversary this yearwith a release of a new album thisspring.

We are incredibly grateful toboth the City Singers and Youth-ful Spirits for donating their timeand energy to perform for ourcommunity on behalf of the ReemaJ. Samaha and Erin Peterson Me-morial Scholarship Funds. BothReema and Erin were beautifulyoung women who were wellloved by their families, neighborsand friends. In honor of theirmemory and legacy, the Samahaand Peterson families createdscholarships that reflect theirdaughters’ qualities in order toassist other young people toachieve.

Reema’s scholarships areawarded to deserving seniors,from Westfield and Herndon HighSchools, who exemplify Reema’sattributes such as academic excel-lence, exceptional character, open-ness of mind, and respect for di-versity. Although not mandatory,a love for the performing arts and

being a student of French is ap-preciated.

The Erin Peterson Fund issuesthe Erin Peterson LeadershipAward and the Erin Peterson Com-mit to Excel Award each year totwo Westfield and two FallsChurch High School graduateswho exemplify Erin’s qualities: athirst for knowledge, commitmentto excellence and a desire to helpthe less fortunate.

The Erin Peterson Fund alsogives two FastWeb scholarships,one of which is the Legacy Initia-tive, named after those who died

at Virginia Tech. This year’s schol-arship is named for CaitlinHammaren. Grants are also issuedto Westfield’s Leadership for To-morrow, a program that assists at-risk students.

More information about eachfund can be found atwww.reemasamaha.org andwww.erinpetersonfund.org. Weencourage everyone to attend theconcert on April 24, enjoy beauti-ful music and continue the legacyof Reema and Erin.

The Centreville High girls’soccer team, under first-year head coach Gary

Malebranche, is well on its way tomatching or bettering last year’sWildcats’ team that finished 6-6-1and qualified for the NorthernRegion playoffs.

There are certainly areas theCentreville team can improve on.But overall, the Wildcats (4-2-1)have played some pretty good soc-cer at around the season’s mid-point.

“We’re playing well but we haveroom for improvement,” saidMalebranche, who was part of theCentreville team last year as anassistant coach to then-head coachRob Olson. “Our defense as a teamhas been pretty good and our ef-fort has been good. On offense,we’re getting there.”

Centreville earned a decisive, 6-0 non-district home win over vis-iting Mount Vernon High this pastMonday night, April 12. It was thethird win in a row for the Wild-cats, who a week ago won roadgames at both Robinson, 3-0, onApril 6, and Lee, 2-0, on April 8.

In Centreville’s first four gamesthis season, it defeated visitingSouth County, 2-1, on March 15before playing Annandale to ascoreless tie four days later in an-other home contest. Then, justprior to spring break week, the

Centreville Girls Winning Under New Soccer CoachGary Malebranche, former Wildcat assistant, has seen his team win 3 straight in shutout fashion.

The Centreville girls’ soccer team (pictured) will be looking for its fourth straight winwhen it travels to Marshall High this Friday night.

Wildcats lost consecutive 1-0 af-fairs to visiting Oakton (March 23)and host McLean (March 25).

Centreville did not play anygames over spring break, but hascome back strong following thebreak with the three straight vic-tories. The locals will be atMarshall this Friday night at 7 fora non-district meeting against theStatesmen.

CENTREVILLE has been led thisspring by its senior tri-captains —forward/midfielder Jenna Rich-mond, senior defender SuzanneLesniewski and forward MollyMacDonnell.

Richmond, a member of the U-20 U.S. National Team, has beena steady Wildcat contributor sinceher freshmen season.

“Her work ethic is great and she’svery humble and works extremelyhard,” said Malebranche, of Rich-mond. “She has natural talent.”

Lesniewski has been a steadyforce in helping hold opponentteams down. Centreville has al-lowed just three goals over sixgames and Lesniewski’s impressiveplay has played a large role in thatteam success.

“She’s just a very consistent, ath-letic player,” said her coach.

MacDonnell, up top at forward,brings an emotional spark to theWildcats with her fiery play.

“Molly’s very energetic andbrings a passion to the game,” saidMalebranche. “The girls feed off

of that. She’s a fast player andphysical.”

The Wildcats have receivedgood seasons at the goalie positionfrom both Ayana Teran, a sopho-more, and junior Taylor Avery.

“I have confidence in both ofthem and I have confidence in ourteam as a whole,” saidMalebranche.

The bulk of the tough ConcordeDistrict schedule is ahead of them.

By playoff time, the Wildcats hopeto have several more wins undertheir belt and to be at or near thetop of their game. Last year’s teammade it to the 16-team regionplayoff field before losing a firstround contest to a talentedMcLean team that went as far asthe region semifinals.

Centreville will be looking to gofurther this upcoming postseason.But that is still a ways off. For now,

coach Malebranche, who grew upin Woodbridge and played his localhigh school soccer at Paul VI HighSchool in Fairfax, just wants histeam to continue to get better as ateam. He has enjoyed his first sea-son as the program’s head coach.

“It’s been pretty seamless so farbecause I was an assistant [here]last year and I have a pretty goodknowledge of the girls as players.It’s been fun.”

so I auditioned and then a spot openedup, so I was tickled,” she said. “And every-one is as nice and fun as they are talented.”She especially likes the do-wop medley, butsays, “All the songs are good. Our Manhat-tan medley of show tunes is really cute; it’sgot catchy songs and good choreography. Ido ‘Gimme, Gimme,’ from ‘ThoroughlyModern Millie.’ It starts out soft and builds,and it has a good beat. It’s a fun song abouta girl asserting her independence.”

Burkart also likes the songs from “LittleShop of Horrors.” She said “Dentist” is re-ally funny and “Suddenly Seymour” is “abeautiful love song with a gorgeous melody.The show has lots of variety and an engag-ing cast, with songs the audience knows,done in a different way.”

Another new member, Ken Adams ofManassas, has local theater experience andhas been a singer all his life. He sings duetsin the “Little Shop of Horrors” medley andsolos on “Blue Moon.” He also likes the “re-ally neat” sound of “The Lion Sleeps To-night.” The group’s been rehearsing sinceNovember, and Adams likes the solos andduets because, “with the smaller numbers,you can hear the individual people singing.”

Sterling’s Trace Stokes, a music directorat a church in Lansdowne, is in his second

year with Capital Cabaret. He likes the “niceharmonies” in the do-wop songs and soloson “Electricity” from “Billy Eliott.” He’shappy to perform it because “it’s a very pas-sionate song; it’s about what you feel whenyou’re performing on stage.”

Furthermore, said Stokes, “All the ladies’songs are amazing – especially the Broad-way Ladies medley, including ‘We’re in theMoney’ and ‘Whatever Lola Wants.’ Theirvoices blend so nicely.” He said Crickmer’stap dance is terrific because “she’s verygifted.” He also called the show’s choreog-raphy “the definition of creativity – beingable to put just the right moves to the wordsof a song. This group has bundles of talentand, between the voices and the choreog-raphy, it’s going to be a very enjoyableshow.”

Director Philipoom, of Greenbriar, saidCapital Cabaret spotlights some songs fromBroadway musicals, adds in songs with simi-lar themes and groups them together. He’salso proud of the Andrew Lloyd Webber trib-ute, featuring songs from “Evita,” “Phantomof the Opera” and “Joseph and the Amaz-ing, Technicolor Dreamcoat.” SaidPhilipoom: “It’s amazing how, after all thistime, ‘Phantom’ still resonates with people;they can’t get enough of it.”

He said the show’s a collaborative effortwith something for everyone. “The audience

is really in for a treat,” said Philipoom.“We’re going to surprise people, too, be-cause, every year, we raise the bar. I guar-

antee there’ll be at least one number they’llbe humming, the next day, and won’t beable to get out of their heads.”
