Beauty and the Beast

This weekend sees Belper junior musical theatre take to the stage at the Ecclesbourne school to present Disney's Beauty and the Beast junior. If you haven't got your tickets just yet, then you may be lucky enough to get one of the final few available from Andrea on 01332882909. We are particularly lucky in Belper to have not only got a great team of talented children who can sing, dance and act as directed, but also to have a great team producing the show as well.
Many of you will recall that Becky Osborne stepped down from the musical director role a couple of years ago and Jess Hutton has become our new driving force. As an ex junior herself she has followed in Becky's footsteps and made sure that rehearsals are fun filled as well as with purpose. She has been joined in delivering this show by Jen Lewis, fresh from her success in directing the amazing 'Me and My Girl' for the adult company. Together they have captured the imagination of the children and pulled together an amazing version of this classic fairy tale.
Elizabeth Brookes has also played a key part in pulling together the props for the show - bear in mind that each of the pewter tankards that you see on the stage started life as a Pringles' packet!
And finally Stacey and David have provided input and guidance on the choreography. Put together the whole thing looks amazing and we' re looking forward to welcoming you there.
Since it is many members of the adult company who have given up their weekend to manage front of house, I really do mean that we are the ones who will welcome you!
See you there soon!
