We asked the Suprise Singers if we could have two numbers from Les miserables and two from The Greatest Showman. Although they had not sang any numbers from The Greatest Showman before we were setting them a big task. Ashleigh Nicholas and Luke started working on making this happen some 6 months before the wedding... and WOW are all three the ultimate professionals - it’s like having your own private West End theatre performance. Walking and performing in and around our tables it was absolutely FANTASTIC. Honestly before booking I checked out the videos on their website but trust me they do NOT do these three professionals justice. In our room there was a Gallery with stairs leading down to the dining area, as the music for The Greatest Show started then Nicholas dressed in red coat with tails, top hat and cane moved down the stairs and began the opening of the song, within seconds Ashleigh and Luke joined in and all three were moving around the room mingling with our guests. The atmosphere they created and the quality of all three voices is truly remarkable and by far exceeded any of our expectations. Each and every performance is as good as the next and send shivers down your spine. Some of the notes Ashleigh hit during One Day More were breathtaking. If you are considering booking West End Surprise for a special occasion - DO NOT HESITATE!

    FAQs

    What services do you offer at West End Surprise?
    You may have encountered ‘Singing Waiters’ before perhaps at a wedding or corporate function. Here at West End Surprise we can either pose as waiters, guests or even a professional videographer! We also come with 3 themed cabaret shows you might like to hire!

    Generally when you book us for your special event we liaise directly with the venue so that we can make sure they know exactly what is going on and we know what to wear in order to ‘blend in’ to whatever character we’re playing. We arrive early before any of your guests are there in order to set up our PA system and do a quick sound check. We then disappear once the guests arrive and reappear throughout the reception drinks/meal posing as waiters (or guests etc). We undertake simple tasks such as pouring drinks, serving canapés or serving starters etc. Then, during the meal (often towards the end of the main course) we make some kind of a ‘scene’ and then break into song! We use the entire room and interact with the guests so that everyone feels involved.

    How long does the performance last?
    Our standard performance lasts for approximately 15-20 minutes. We find that 4-5 songs generally works best, sometimes with an encore if the guests are in the mood! However, we can cater the performance to suit your needs should you want extra songs/sets.

    What repertoire do you sing?
    We perform a real mix of repertoire. Often a set will include well-known Musical Theatre songs, Up-tempo Pop songs and even some Opera! When you contact us for a quote we will send you through a list of the repertoire we sing and if there’s a particular song you would really like we can learn that too (for a minimal fee).

    How many singers do you provide?
    Our packages include three singers as standard. There are some companies that use two singers but we have found that three is the perfect number as it increases the ‘surprise’ factor and also allows one person to always be operating the PA system. It also means that clients get a lovely mix of voices and repertoire! Of course, if your event is in a more intimate space or you have a very tight budget you can always contact us and we can provide you with a quote for two singers.

    Why choose West End Surprise?
    Our prices are highly competitive for what we offer. We are all highly trained, professional singers who have worked on the West End and prestigious cruise ships. Because of this, we are incredibly adaptable and can cater our performance to suit your tastes. Also, because of our training we all have incredible stagecraft, which is key when performing a surprise act as we need to be convincing as waiters/guests etc but also capture and hold everyone’s attention once the performance begins.

    What if I’m not interested in a ‘surprise’ act but would still love to hire singers for my event?
    The good news is that West End Surprise can also perform at Launches, Parties and Corporate events in whatever way you dream of. Recently we were lucky to provide entertainment for the BBC's Eastenders Summer Party. We also have 3 themed cabaret shows you might like to hire. These being: 'For the Love of Swing', 'For the Love of Musicals' and 'For the Love of Broadway' (with more in the pipeline). Drop us a line and we can discuss options with you in more detail.
