COAL TOWNSHIP - Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary Chorus will present their fourth musical, "The Aristocats, Kids" 7 p.m. April 29 and 2 p.m. May 1. Fifty students in grades four through six are involved in this production as cast and crew.
The musical is based on the 1970 Disney film of the same name. The story involves an aristocratic named Madame who decides to leave all of her money to her cats. Her butler, Edgar, discovers this information and becomes very jealous. He decides to cat-nap Duchess and her "Aristokittens," and abandon them in the Parisian countryside. Luckily, Thomas O'Malley and his rag-tag bunch of Alley cats come to their rescue. Stray dogs, geese and a house mouse also come to the rescue.
This animal adventure is sure to get your feet tapping to its hep, jazzy beat. Songs include "The Aristocats," "Scales and Arpeggios," and "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat."
Donations will be accepted at the door. No tickets are being sold. Doors open 45 minutes before the show. Sister Margaret McCullough is the elementary principal. Bonny Klinger is the musical director.
