Il Divo: Greatest Hits Tour, with Special Guest Vocalist Steven LaBrie

Woodbine Productions presents Il Divo with special guest Steven LaBrie! Purchase tickets here or at the website link below.
A household name when it comes to crossover groups of classical music, Il Divo has always stood out for their peculiar mix of opera and pop in songs of countless genres. Since their debut in 2004, Il Divo has triumphed in the grandest venues around the world and has sold over 30 million records throughout their career.
First discovered and mentored by Simon Cowell in 2003, the group–composed of the Spanish Carlos Marin* (baritone), the Swiss Urs Buhler (tenor), the French Sebastien Izambard (tenor), and the American David Miller (tenor)– became a pioneer of a musical genre unknown until that time when, in 2004, they released their debut album Il Divo.
Since then, the international four-member group has become the world leader in their genre and has achieved second-to-none success around the globe, performing before personalities like the Queen of England and former US presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.
The groups greatest hits include “Regresa a Mi” (Unbreak My Heart), “The Time Of Our Lives” (The Official Song of the 2006 FIFA World Cup), a duet with Celine Dion entitled, “I Believe In You” (Je crois en toi), and now in their latest album, “Hola” (Hello), which is a cover version of Adele’s own global hit. Il Divo has sold over 30 million records, including 160 gold and platinum records in more than 33 countries, and sold out six world tours.
*Following the tragic passing of Marin from COVID-19 in December 2021, Il Divo has launched this “Greatest Hits Tour” in Marín’s honor, with vocalist Steven LaBrie, a Mexican American baritone, filling in as a guest for nearly a year of dates.

2022-09-06 18:00 - 2022-09-07 20:00 | Gracepoint Wesleyan Church
Famous detective Hercule Poirot is called back from Istanbul to London on urgent business. He intends to book a first-class compartment on the Orient Express, run by his former friend and colleague, Monsieur Bouc. The train is surprisingly full, but Bouc manages to secure Poirot a spot in the first-class cabin. While aboard the Orient Express, Poirot meets a host of peculiar characters: an aging Russian princess, her Swedish companion, a Hungarian countess, a Minnesota housewife, a Scottish colonel, an English governess, a French conductor, a disagreeable American businessman, and his anxious secretary. While aboard the train, the angry businessman, Samuel Ratchett, corners Poirot and demands Poirot to investigate a series of ominous letters that have been sent to Ratchett, threatening his life. As a snowdrift halts the Orient Express in its tracks, Ratchett is found stabbed multiple times in his locked train compartment. Poirot is tasked by Monsieur Bouc to solve the murder, as the killer could still be in their midst. As Poirot investigates, conflicting clues and convoluted alibis lead him to dead ends. Over the course of 48 hours, will Poirot be able to solve the case of the Murder on the Orient Express? Dates & Times: Tuesday, September 6 & Wednesday, September 7 6:00pm – 8:00pm Location: Gracepoint Wesleyan Church Great Room (please use east parking lot doors, then turn left inside) For more information and audition forms, please visit our BCT website
