Now that some of the excitement after our amazing production of Annie Get Your Gun has died down, I thought that it was a good opportunity for me to start to build the hunger for folk to come along to our next Belper Junior Musical Theatre production.
This time around they are putting on 'Olivia!'
As many of you know I have a very limited knowledge of musicals although I do try hard to learn the words and the tunes (and occasionally the rhythms) of all the ones that we do. So I had no concept at all of a musical called Olivia and my anticipation was that it would just be some tiresome feminist rewrite of Oliver! However, I am assured that this is not the case.
The script is full of humour and is well written and it follows the progress of a young girl (who just happens to be named Olivia) from a downtrodden beginning in an orphanage through the streets of London and, who knows, possibly a happy ending.
The production is well written and offers a real showcase for our junior talent, male and female. You can look forward to meeting Eliza Dolittle (My Fair Lady), Artful Dodger, Fagin, Sherlock Holmes and George Bernard Shaw. Mix that with great songs and the hard work of our production team and it's a show that will not disappoint.
You've seen some of the stars on stage with us in Annie Get Your Gun, so now is your chance to support our stars of tomorrow and give them a full house at each of their three shows.
As always you can buy your tickets through our website at bmt.ticketsource.co.uk
I will find an electronic copy of the flyer and see if I can work out how to upload it to here as well! (Sometimes my IT skills are more limited than my knowledge of musicals)
