RACINE - The Wisconsin Singers newest song and dance revue, "Let us Entertain You!," is coming to Horlick High School, 2119 Rapids Drive, at 7 p.m. April 24 in the Joseph L. Mooney Theatre.

The Wisconsin Singers feature the University of Wisconsin-Madison's most talented collegiate singers, dancers and instrumentalists. "Let us Entertain You!" takes a fun look at different ways people like to be entertained. "Broadway Showstoppers" takes the audience on a journey through the past 40 years of American theater, while the "Live in Concert" medley will feature popular music artists from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles, from Tina Turner to Christina Aguilera.

"Dance, Dance, Revolution" includes an amusing look at different dance styles from the last four decades.

As always, the renowned Singers band is featured throughout the evening with their special blend of big-band sound and choreographed movement.

Choreographed by New York professionals, the performance is for all ages with high-energy dancing, singing and laugh-out-loud humor.

Horlick again welcomes back 2007 Horlick graduate Holly Stritchko.

A sophomore at UW-Madison and in her second year with the Singers, Stritchko continues her love for performance as a singer/dancer in the ensemble. She plans to major in nursing or education.

Many may remember Stritchko from her final performance at Horlick starring as Wendy in "Peter Pan."

Known as the "Official Ambassadors of Goodwill" for the University of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Singers have helped raise thousands of dollars for programs all across Wisconsin and the United States.

The 2009 performance at Horlick will once again be a fundraiser for Horlick's Drama program, while also raising scholarship funds for UW-Madison students.

Opening the show are the students from Jerstad-Agerholm Middle School's Swinging Jaguars under the direction of Cynthia LaFleur.

Advance tickets cost $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens 62 and above, and $4 for students.

Tickets cost $1 more at the door for adults and seniors. There is no reserved seating. Advance tickets are available at Horlick in the Drama Department, Scarlet School and Activities offices or through the Wisconsin Alumni Association Racine Chapter.

This 2009 performance is sponsored by the Wisconsin Alumni Association-Racine Chapter, Johnson Bank and Educators Credit Union.
