Stratford-upon-Avon College’s Musical Theatre students present their annual production, “Another Op’nin’, Another Show!”, based on the openings of popular Broadway and West End Musicals from a variety of eras.
This musical extravaganza features extracts from a selection of top Broadway shows. It explores the art of the ‘opening number’ and discovers its multi-faceted functions. From Phantom to Fiddler on the Roof, Cats to A Chorus Line, My Fair Lady to My Favorite Year, we guarantee you a wicked night with fabulous company (and All That Jazz)! Something familiar, something peculiar, something for everyone!
Producer, Michelle Wheeler commented, “This is a talented group of students who have trained extremely hard to provide the audience with a crash course in musical theatre. It is also a major assessment for their BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre) course. Following the success of last year’s sell-out production of Les Misérables, we hope to continue the college’s excellent reputation for delivering high quality productions by our musical theatre stars of the future!”
Performances are on November 25th, 26th and 27th at 7.15pm, with a matinee on Friday 27th at 2.00pm. The production will be held in The New Theatre located on the college’s campus. Tickets cost £5.00 for adults and £3.00 for concessions. Seating is limited so be sure to get yours now! For ticket sales and more information call the college on 01789 266245 between 9.00am - 5.00pm, or email michellewheeler@stratford.ac.uk|
