Lady Wigram’s Got Talent was organised by residents John and Linda Tucker.
About 15 people performed as part of the evening, which included a group of residents known as The Wigram Squad, who acted out rugby moves to the Crusaders theme song Conquest of Paradise.
Mrs Tucker said the performance had “hilarious” scrums, a try and even a couple of “magnificent” kicks which sent the ball straight into their theatre production manager Judith McCleary’s hands in the audience.
“They had been rehearsing for weeks. They acted their part very seriously, which made it even funnier and it was all in slow motion,” she said.
Performances included owner John Tooby playing the piano with his daughter Olivia on the saxophone.
Mr Tooby also played a duet with resident John Tucker called Duelling Pianos.
The Wigram Squad won the talent quest, while Annette Quinn was second with her rendition of Memory from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats.
“We also had two unexpected star of the show spots where we plucked people out of the audience to sing a song we had chosen for them,” Mrs Tucker said.
The audience were given words and silly headgear for the songs.
“That was a lot of fun, they did well,” she said.
