The Marionettes senior and youth choirs, together with the Noble Douglas Dance Company, presented MOSAIC IV: the Best of Broadway at the Queen’s Hall, Trinidad & Tobago in July 2004. It featured excerpts from Oliver; Les Mis; West Side Story; Hairspray; Fiddler on the Roof, and popular solo numbers from other iconic Broadway shows, featuring a range of soloists. It was the fourth instalment of the popular Mosaic series — featuring staged excerpts of best-loved musicals — which the group started in the mid-1990s.
Conducted by Gretta Taylor, the programme featured a range of talented soloists across both choirs: Jonathan Bishop (now performing in Hamilton on the West End), Vanessa Bushe, Marlon De Bique, Natalia Dopwell, Nigel Floyd, Errol James, Jacqueline Johnson, Tova Miller, Deborah Nahous, Patrice Quammie, Jacqueline Smith, Renée Solomon, David Stephens, and many others in ensemble work.
