Discover a World of Sounds

 Midnight Mass at the Bridge Theater this past weekend featured a screening of Xanadu with projected ‘sing-a-long’ lyrics and a preshow that included drag queen roller derby. My two tasks for this weekend's show were simple: put together a 45-minute set of music by Olivia Newton John (minus any of the songs from Xanadu) and compile a PowerPoint presentation of surtitles to serve as the shows sing-a-long lyrics.

Putting together the sonic sounds of Olivia Newton John was a fun job. I started the mix with some of my favorite ONJ tunes including ‘Soul Kiss’ and ‘A Little More Love’ and ended with crowd pleasers like ‘Grease Megamix’ and a thumping house version of ‘Physical’. The crowd that night was in good spirits with many audience members in costumes that included athletic headbands and tube socks galore.
