Jekyll and Hyde.

Ok you lot .. take note.

For some reason, got talked into becoming the Publicity and Marketing Manager for Accrington Theatre Group .. and hadn't had any wine. What have I done ?

This November, the Production is 'Jekyll and Hyde' .. an evocative tale of the epic battle between good and evil .. original story by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Not the usual expectation of musical theatre, but pure pulse-pounding theatre, with the same macabre combination of fun and fright that fuels such alternative classics as 'Sweeney Todd' and 'Phantom of the Opera'

I went to see it at Colne, directed by our resident director Howard Raw, was nail-biting/on the edge of me seat stuff, and no doubt our Theatre group will present a production tantamount to this. So if you are interested in joining this cast, please read below:-

Come to rehearsals Thursday 5th June .. for anyone interested in a Principal part.

Monday, 9th June .. chorus rehearsals. We accept anyone, any size, any nationality, any shape LOL.. all will be individuals, and not lost in the back line.

Thursday, 12th June . Principals.

St Hubert's School, Great Harwood.. 7.30 p.m.

Auditions will be within the next 2/3 weeks.

p.m. me or E/mail if you require any further details.

I WILL BE BACK !!

:D Sure we could, let me see, let me find you a part .. ah yes, Bishop of Basingstoke ... he comes to a sticky end before the interval (hung from the bridge by Hyde) .. for chatting up young prostitutes ..... LOL.

Or maybe, Sir Danvers Crew ... a distinguished Member of Parliament..tee hee. He comes to a sticky end too.

In fact, not many characters left by the end of the show .. all get sent to the other side by Hyde ... gruesome, but great fun.

Watcha' think ?

The person who uploaded it to YouTube must have disabled embedding. This issue has caught me out a couple of times too. Is there any way to past a YouTube link into AccyWeb without it automatically trying to embed the video?

Thanks Studio ... suspected summat like that .. but not sure about anything else.

In the meantime, a couple of photos of our cast in rehearsal, including Peter Norris who obviously takes both Jekyll and Hyde. Don't know how he doesn't get mixed up with the two .. :D

Believe me, if you miss this show, you are gonna' be sorry.

Forget X-Factor finalists for a while and see a live performance on stage with leads that have singing voices that could compete with them at any time, backed by a great orchestra.

Amateur productions are getting better and better with lots of the cast that have had professional training.

Just a shame we have not a bigger stage at Ossy ... but does not negate away from the performance ... it's terrific, and believe me, having been involved for many years, am highly critical.

Go on .. drag yourselves away from your telly, and try a bit of live theatre.

Well, I know you would enjoy it Lilly .. that's the problem, nobody knows it .. not the crowd pulling 'Sound of Music' 'My Fair Lady' .. I understand, but it has me mesmorised. Gotta' try all kinds Lilly, otherwise, will never extend your appreciation of musical theatre, and likes or dislikes. Like trying different foods I guess .... :D

Thanks for your post anyway, any post is appreciated. Really hard to sell this one. :(
 
Kate,

Not sure if you've done this or not already but perhaps post times and ticket prices.
