Page 10 - Halton Hills This Week, Wednesday, November 3, 1993 Entertainment We'll Meet @ Globe presents a special treat Do you remember how to do the Lambeth Walk? Or the words to “Leaning on a Lamp”? If so, you’re in for a treat, for you’ll hear these great songs again in “Me and My Girl”, Georgetown Globe Productions’ upcom- ing show. There are 15 musical num- bers in the show, ranging in mood from the lively open- ing “Weekend at Hareford” to the pensive “Once you Lose Your Heart”, and the gently romantic “Me and My Girl”, complete with tap- dancing. And, of course, the old favorite, “Lambeth Walk”. Musical Director Greg Diakun has been working with the cast to polish the musical numbers which sparkle in the hilarious text of the show. This is Greg’s second venture with Globe: last spring he was Musical Director for “Mikado”, and we are delighted to have him here again. Greg’s busy career as a solo pianist and choral direc- tor keeps him in Toronto several days a week, but for the past two summers he has been engaged by the Drayton Festival Theatre, for their productions of “Mikado” and “Me and My Girl”. Greg somehow manages to find time to compose scores for films and television and also maintain a family life in jover, Tickets for “Me and My Girl” are available at Royal LePage Real Estate Services Ltd., 170 Guelph St., Georgetown. Show dates are Nov. 18 to Dec. 4 at the John Elliott Theatre. For informa- tion, call Rachelle , 873- 765.

Halloween Parade. me ; a 4 ol mascot Georgie the Giraffe (a.k.a.

We finally have on the screen an animated movie that contemporary kids can relate to. Nightmare is Sesame Street with an atti- tude. Three key parties have forged together to create Nightmare. The story .and characters are pulled from the fertile mind of Tim Burton, creator of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, ward Sci: Book and Lyrics by L.

Danny Elfman, Burton’s Constant associate, is:respon- sible for the very successful music and lyrics. And the new age .Walt Disney - Corporation is the producer. The story centres around Jack Skellington “The Pumpkin King” (Chris Sarandon provides the voice and sung by composer Danny Elfman) of Halloweentown. jack has just finished coor- dinating yet another success- ful Halloween night, but feels like taking on some- thing with more depth. He stumbles upon a passageway to Christmastown and hatch- €s a plot to become the next Santa Claus. The obvious dichotomy in this proposal is immediately realized by his new belle, Sally (voice by SCTV veter- an Catherine O’Hara). Sally, however,-has her own trou- bles trying to escape from her creator, evil scientist (voice by William Hickey). The most ghoulish and wonderful characters are Lock, Shock and Barrel (voices by Elfman, O’Hara and Paul “Pee-Wee” Reubens). The trio are given the task of kidnapping Santa Claus. After a slow start (they kidnap the Easter Bunny by mistake), they pro- ceed with their task with rel- ish and precision. A shortcoming of Nightmare is that it doesn’t successfully cross the bound- ary between youth and adult entertainment, in the way the television. show “The Simpsons” does. Hopefully, Nightmare is only a start for Burton’s ven- ture into puppet-animation.
