Upscale Singers concerts continue to introduce new features. This spring, that means a new venue and even more performers.

“The Upscale Zone,” which is scheduled April 14–15 at Desert Hills Presbyterian Church and April 29 at St. Patrick Catholic Community, Scottsdale’s adult choir will also feature familiar music with old favorites from four famous productions and one iconic quartet.

“It’s the variety and popularity of the music that will please the audience so much,” Director Margaret Watson said in a press release. “Who doesn’t love ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘Jersey Boys’ put on the same ticket as ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘The Lion King?’ Then you add the Upscale Kids singing music from ‘Peter Pan,’ and the success of the show is guaranteed.”

The new venue is the Fellowship Center at Desert Hills Presbyterian Church, 34605 N. Tom Darlington Drive in Scottsdale. While the church is the annual site of Upscale Singers’ Christmas concerts, it’s the group’s first opportunity to perform in the theater-style center next door, according to a press release.

The shows, at $35 for adults and $20 for youth aged 18 and under, are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday, April 14, and 2 p.m. Saturday, April 15.

St. Patrick Catholic Community’s Fenlon Hospitality Center, 10815 N. 84th Street in Scottsdale, will have a buffet dinner, silent auction, raffle and cash bar for $60 per person. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., dinner is served at 6:15 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m.

“Having the variety of theatrical venues will be very nice this year,” Watson said in the release. “The audience can choose for a straight theater experience or a dinner theater option.”

Tickets are available at upscalesingers.com. All three of last spring’s concerts were sold out before the first one took place.

Audience members have enjoyed past Upscale Singers concerts so much, several have come on board, giving the group the largest number of singers in its 18-year history, the release stated.

“I had so many singers say, ‘Save my spot. I’m not missing this show!’” Watson said. “We have great singers in the group — amateurs and retired professionals alike. Several used to perform professionally in New York and elsewhere and love sharing their talents with the community. But we’re always looking for new singers, so I hope that people who are looking for a great singing group will come and see our performances. That’s the best way for them to see what we’re all about.”
