Christmas on Broadway at the Sage in Gateshead

This might have been the highlight of our year! We took a group of residents, plus staff and volunteers to the Sage Concert Hall in Gateshead for “Christmas on Broadway”. After an exciting bus trip through the bright lights of Newcastle everyone made their way to their accessible seats in the ultra-modern concert hall in the Sage building. The concert was amazing – the Royal Northern Sinfonia and a cast of West End and Broadway Stars performed songs from huge musical hits such as The Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia!, The Lion King, Wicked and Frozen, plus a selection of seasonal musical numbers that definitely put us all in the Christmas spirit. Everyone absolutely loved it, and we spotted plenty of residents (and helpers!) singing along to the music, clapping wildly and cheering the professional singers and musicians. Thank you to all those who came with us as helpers and volunteers and huge thanks to the staff of the Sage, who were extremely helpful in ensuring we all enjoyed a brilliant evening out.
