With its blend of heart-warming moments, exhilarating musical numbers, and poignant themes – this production promises to delight both seasoned theatre enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

"This is the first time we have performed this iconic show and we are delighted to bring our adult society and academy together on stage to celebrate this milestone which is a testament to the dedication and talent of our members, past and present, as well as the unwavering support of our audiences.."
