CGMC MUSICALLY TRAVELS ACROSS THE POND

The Connecticut Gay Men's Chorus is busy traveling across the pond to celebrate the start of Pride Month with a double treat. On Sunday, May 22 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook, the chorus will present “The British Are Coming!,” a delightful tribute to all things English, from Elton to Freddie, Posh to Petula and tons of great tunes in-between. According to the chorus's Artistic Director Greg McMahan, the most influential artists and sounds of pop music from the last five decades will be featured. “These are the songs that generations of LGBT people worldwide have danced to, cried to, and come out to among many other activities that I won’t mention here.” Come travel with these talented guys as they highlight the British invasion by the Beatles in the 1960’s, the glamor and New Wave years of the 1970’s and 1980’s, the sensation of the Spice Girls of the 1990’s, with a finale featuring the newer arrivals of the 2000’s.

You won’t need to pack a bag or renew your passport for this special journey to England courtesy of your tour director Greg McMahan and his talented friends.
