What a night at An Audience with Electric Umbrella

May 03, 2023

Packed crowd cheers Electric Umbrella superstars to the rafters!

Friday night (28 April) was the latest brilliant instalment in the history of Electric Umbrella with around 50 of our members taking to the stage at Watford Palace Theatre.


They delivered a rip-roaring show, full of Electric Umbrella favourites such as The Electric Umbrella Song, Try Smiling, Sunflower Avenue, No Such Thing As Normal and Very Nice.

Max Lewis reprised his role as Big Bad Brenda from the musical he produced, I Am The Dream Machine.


Elsewhere, Matt Milone stunned the crowd with a sensational performance of Nessun dorma with our own Claire Boulter and Garrison Mazur brought the house down as Elvis.


And there was so much more, too, including new music with a first staged performance of Acceptance, which is part of our new Electric Umbrella Express education programme.

You won't be surprised to read that feedback has been phenomenal, with theatre goers wowed by the confidence of our sizzling superstars!

Our next big moment on stage comes on Sunday 11 June when Umbrellafest returns in Cassiobury in Watford from 12.30pm until 6pm.


We're currently looking for a sponsor for the big day. If interested please email Tim Winward-Hart for a chat.

Paul Gershlick receives Electric Umbrella Corporate Ambassador Award!

30 Oct, 2023
We were delighted to recently recognise Paul Gershlick, Partner at VWV Law Firm in Watford, with our Corporate Ambassador Award . Paul first introduced Electric Umbrella to VWV and their wider network after inviting us to perform online at their 2020 PING conference. Since then, a real friendship was struck and Paul, along with his team at VWV Watford, have gone above and beyond to support Electric Umbrella. Whether it’s having us return to perform at future conferences, supporting us with in-office charity events and lunches, or attending our shows, Paul and the VWV Watford team have bought into the Electric Umbrella way. In addition to VWV Watford making Electric Umbrella their office charity of the year for two years running, Paul personally volunteers on a weekly basis at our Big Yellow Choir, where he was presented with his award by our CEO Mel and choir member Ali, earlier this month.
