Boni McIntyre gave a hands-on primer on singing successfully at high altitude and low humidity… at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts, exclusively for Friends of Thingamajig Theatre members on Sunday, July 9. She taught the audience breathing, warm-up and voice training exercises until they graduated to singing “Who Loves You” from “Jersey Boys.”
An award-winning performer, McIntyre is the music director for all three musicals in the professional theatre’s ‘Broadway in the Mountains’ summer season: “The Great American Trailer Park Musical”, “Jersey Boys”, and “Godspell 2012” — which are being performed in rotation until August 27.
McIntyre has a wealth of experience with Thingamajig shows, having been music director for multiple productions including “Jekyll & Hyde,” “West Side Story,” “Ring of Fire,” “Legally Blonde” and “Mamma Mia!”. A Colorado native and resident of Denver, she has been such a constant presence at Thingamajig over the last nine years — both as a performer and music director — that she purchased a condo in Pagosa.
In past years she also has directed and starred in shows like “Sister Act” and wowed audiences with her tender rendition of the title song in Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” on the Thingamajig stage. An award-winning performer, she has a master’s degree in vocal performance from the University of Northern Colorado and also performs and directs at other theatrical venues.
