Miss G Does It Again

THE FABULOUS MISS G!

Last weekend 4 of our beautiful dancers took to the floor at Southsea's Royal Maritime Club to once again perform alongside our favourite diva.. The Fabulous Miss G! 

Every show always guarantees to be better than the last and certainly a night to remember filled with singing, dancing, amazing costumes and a laugh a minute from start to finish! This months show was no exception and with the fitting theme of divas the audience were treated to the well known popular hits of Barbara Striesand, Dolly Parton, Etta James and Beyoncé. It wasn't all down to the girls though with the male singer throwing in some tunes from the greats such as Tom Jones and Michael Buble!

Our dancers showed off there most sassy and impressive moves in keeping with the diva nights theme and blew the crowds away with their amazing choreography and interaction and reactions to Miss G herself! The girls compliment the show brilliantly and always love to perform with the rest of the talented cast each night! 

With our sequins shining and legs flying high we were ready to rock and kick off the show for this amazing cause...

Once again all proceeds from Miss G's events go to charity and the benefiting charity this time is very close to Miss G's heart; 'Holly's Wishes'! 

The total raised at the end of Saturday Night's show was a staggering £2455.50. Alongside some extra donations after the event and adding to the existing total that already stands Miss G's events have now raised the fabulous total of £5508.04.

We are happy to announce that this money is now enough to pay for a new bladder scanner to be fitted at the Urology department of Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham.
CONGRATULATIONS to Andrew Pearce aka Miss G* this is such an impressive achievement!

We are very excited to be already booked for Octobers show and next years dates that are already in the diary too! The continued support of the audiences means that Miss G and her team can carry on raising as much money as possible for the wonderful causes chosen!

SUMMER IS COMING!

HAVE YOUR KIDS GOT TALENT?

It's that time of year again, summer is only around the corner and we have the perfect activity to keep your children entertained and excited with three whole days of activities, fun and a live performance!

After last years success of our 'Kids Got Talent' 3 day workshop we have decided to run the same summer school activity this year to give even more children a chance to take part in this amazing opportunity. 

Manic Stage Productions we will be hosting 'Kids Got Talent' from Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

The idea of 'Kids Got Talent' is to encourage all the children to bring along their own talent to the Portsmouth's Guildhall and to practise and perfect it over the three days with the added assistance of our talented team. The aim is to make their individual skill show time ready for the on stage performance on the final day!

The children will also learn a whole host of new skills throughout the workshop days including dancing, singing, acting, arts and crafts, and lots lots more. 

The children will make new friends and be working in groups with new people to expand their repertoire of skills as the days pass.

One of the main attractions of this workshop event is the amazing opportunity to perform on the actual stage. We are lucky enough that the Friday performance showcase will be on the Guildhall stage, with lighting, sound and costumes! The children will be putting on a "proper" show of which family and friends are invited to come and see on the final afternoon. 

With the chance for the children to showcase each of their own talents and group numbers as a whole cast, the jam packed show will feature all types of entertainment for the parents viewing pleasure. 

After last years brilliant workshop we can not wait to see this years turn out..... so start practising those talents and book your places now so not to miss out this summer!! 

The cost of the three day workshop is £75 per child.
Each day will run from 10am-3pm at PortsmouthGuildhall

Dates are Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

Book your places now through Paypal on our event page via our website www.manicsp.co.uk 

We look forward to seeing you all in the summer!

February's Celebrated Client

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!.. 

The team were hard at work this valentines weekend and romance was definitely in the air as we took to the Portsmouth Guildhall stage to entertain the bride and grooms to be at the first wedding fayre of the year. 

As we do at each PMN Wedding Fayre, Manic produced the creative catwalk with beautiful stunning choreography and showcased gorgeous dresses from two bridal boutiques in the local area. 

 With a selection of romantic tracks our models took to the catwalk  with a packed out crowd of excited brides getting ideas and looking  to make their big day one to remember with that perfect dress.

Our models were lucky enough to have their hair and make up done by the professional stylists and artists at Diamond Quay Hair and Beauty Lounge. Their looks complimented the dresses exquisitely and allowed our models to flaunt their elegant looks throughout the performance. 

We also had lots of hair accessories and jewellery to model from different companies to add to our production and they really topped off our overall looks and gave the audience a whole host of things to consider when getting inspiration for their own weddings.  

We always love creating the catwalk show for PMN and have worked closely with Paul now for the past few years. 

As part of our 10th year in business birthday celebrations we are presenting one of close clients each month with a bottle of champagne to show our appreciation and thanks for the support and work relationship in the build up to our tenth year! 

This February Paul and Karen, (Organisers of PMN Wedding Fayres) were our chosen recipients and posed on the catwalk for a celebratory photo with the models and team on stage. 

We will be at a different venue on Sunday again for PMN. If you fancy coming along to see what Old Thorns Manor, Liphook has to offer then you will be able to see a wide variety of companies providing all the services you could possibly need for your special day and there will be two catwalk shows produced by our team for your viewing pleasure. 

For all other enquiries for tailored bespoke entertainment for any occasion don't hesitate to contact us at..

POP PARTY VIDEO!!

POP PARTY VIDEO!!! 

We have a new exciting project that we are launching. 

Our new children's dance parties will be able to offer an added extra of a 'POP VIDEO PARTY' option. 

This will involve a videographer coming to the party and shooting throughout from all different angles. All of the party games, cake, singing, dancing, and show performance will all be filmed and then you will have a dvd produced, edited and cut at the end which will be about 20 mins long and feature all aspects of the party. 

On Wednesday 20th August at Portsmouth Guildhall we are going to be filming a promotional video for this to launch the new optional extra and are looking for a group of children that would like to be involved. If your child is between 6-10yrs and has some dance experience and can wear a nice bright outfit and is happy to perform in front of the cameras then we would love to have them on board. 

Obviously the taking part in this would mean you agree to the consent for us to use your child in the filming and promotion of the video. Limited places available so get in touch!! 

If your children are interested then please let us know asap.

Charity - Doing our Bit

These past few months have literally been ... MANIC!! 

But that didn't stop us finding time to give a little something back. The team really do enjoy working at charity events across the city and often give up time to support and perform at charity events and shows. 

Its great to see just what a little time, effort and generosity can do.

Back in early November we performed with the much loved ‘Fabulous Miss G at her Frocked up in Horror event raising money for Portsmouth Breast Friends. 

We have been dancing behind Miss G and her amazing team for the past 5 years now and each show gets better and better. This time Miss G scared the audience and sent chills and thrills through the guests with a Halloween themed show. 

Nicole & Matt, creative directors of Manic picked some great numbers to dance too, they interpreted the theme perfectly. Tracks included hits from ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ 'Cabaret` and the well known song ‘Candyman’. 

These numbers went down a treat with the guests, take a little look at a couple of video clips here!

WATCH CANDYMAN HERE

As always Miss G put on an unforgettable show and The SHOW Girlz added their usual sparkly stamp. Naturally the evening was full of cracking costumes, high flying kicks, splits, song and dance. And no Miss G show would be the same with out her cheeky audience participation section! 

The finale of this show was ‘The Timewarp!’.... Unexpected gents were invited up on to the stage to be transformed into Rocky Horror style Sweet Transvestites and partnered up with our girls to end the show with a great fun filled number The Time Warp.  

A few weeks later Nicole hosted an hour of ‘The Rowans Hospice, Dance-A-Thon’

Taking to the stage at 10pm for her one hour slot, Nicole proved popular at this late night event, teaching some Grease themed routines to some very willing, energetic dancers, with lots of stamina. 

Within this 6 hour dance-a-thon the group were most definitely put through their paces. Being musical theatre themed it seemed a great opportunity to dust off everyones inner Danny and Sandy and go Grease Lightning with all the girls and guys on this not so Summer Night! Everyone loved getting into partners and boogieing on down to The Hand-Jive! All 75 guests did so well and everyone had a great time and certainly enjoyed this Grease themed hour! 

Verity is the spice of life and next up was a charity event for The Rainbow Centre held at the iconic Spinnaker Tower, aptly named ‘Cocktails In The Clouds’. We proved no matter where we are, be it on the ground, up in clouds or even on glass floor hundreds of feet in the air Manic Stage Productions can always put on a sensational show! 

With Christmas just around the corner lots of children’s charities are hosting fun filled christmas parties and the Manic party host team have been on hand to help. These fabulous events give the children a chance to enjoy a couple of hours of magical christmas sprit, play games, sing and dance as well as enjoy exciting surprises after a year of hard work and sometime serious illness. 

We love meeting these special little youngsters and get such pleasure seeing them all excited for Christmas time. 

Finally, for the third year running we took to the Kings Theatre stage to perform for the amazing charity The BBC’s Children In Need. It is with out doubt one of our favorite things to be a part of each year and we are honored every time we are invited back to perform. 

This year our good friend Pudsey bear asked us to open AND close the show! This meant the team had to pull out all of the stops and we certainly did just that! 

For our 1st appearance on stage we wowed the packed out audience with a 15 minute Circus themed medley and even brought our fantastic stilt walker with us!

As a complete contrast the finale of the night was our smooth, slick, Vegas medley featuring the super talented Jamie Riley and our girls in fabulous feathers. Jamie had the audience on their feet with his rendition of New York New York and the whole cast joined him on stage for a show stopping kick line.

As always the show was a true success and a great pleasure to be a part of. 

If you are planning a charity event please do not hesitate to contact us for our discounted charity prices. I am sure we can help in some way and would love to be part of your efforts to raise money for such great causes.
