Non-stop classics from the shows

Wales Community Theatre Players are taking over the Lyric Theatre from May 13 to 15 for their new production Showstoppers.

Tickets are now on sale for the collection of toe-tapping musical numbers featuring hit songs from famous shows like, Kiss Me Kate, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Bat Out Of Hell, among others.

Joseph Bairstow from the theatre company said: “We are fortunate to have so many talented performers in our group and rehearsals for 'Showstoppers' are already underway.

“It’s a collection of the 20th and 21st centuries’ greatest musical hits so it will be hard to stop the audience singing along with us.”

The Players can trace their roots back to the 1940s.

Perhaps best known for their annual pantomime at the Montgomery Theatre in Sheffield, the group last year produced its first ever musical.

Joseph added: “We’re really excited in bringing this show to the stage in Dinnington.

“While it is a new venue for us, it’s close to our Wales home.

“We’ve always made it our mission to encourage new performers to join us and take to the stage.

“In particular, we love it when children find the confidence to perform for the first time.

“With costumes and lights, big dance numbers and solo songs, it will be an incredible experience for them and the audience.”

Tickets for Showstoppers are priced at £12 for adults and £10 for children/senior citizens and are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk/walesctp or on 0114 383 0383.
