Jyla Davis and Tracy Neff are teaming up with more than 25 talented Delta kids to bring Disney's Aristocats to life for two performances tomorrow in Ladner.
This is not the first time these two Delta divas have joined forces. They first graced the stage together in 2000 at Theatre Under the Stars' in their production of South Pacific and have subsequently collaborated on numerous projects.
"Aristocats seemed to be the perfect mix of Jyla and I - Jyla's the jazzy side and I'm the needs-to-loosen-up side!" Neff laughs.
The production will take place at Delta Secondary School in what has been coined the "guitar room."
"We compared all the different spaces we could think of around Delta and this non-conventional space just seemed to fit," says Davis, owner-operator of Ladner's Studio West Dance School.
"Smaller spaces are more accessible for young actorsingers," says Neff. "They can actually connect with the audience, own the space and not have to scream to be heard."
From memorable songs such as, Everybody Wants To Be A Cat and Scales and Arpeggios, to cool cats like Thomas O'Malley and his Alley Cat gang, this show will jazz up your Saturday afternoon, according to the pair.
Aristocats is a one-act kids show that runs about 30 minutes and is based on the 1970s Disney film.
The cost is $5 for kids and $7 for adults and the entrance to the show is on the west side of DSS near the track. Performances will be held tomorrow at 1:30 and 3 p.m.
