Meet the cast
her that I can relate to especially her volatile relationship with a husband to whom she has been married for a long time.
We have a splendid cast who are very supportive and having worked with our musical director Colin Akers and our producer Graham Weston for many years I am confident that this will be a super show full of atmosphere, humour and of course, intense
pathos. I can’t wait.
What are the joys of doing musical theatre
Belonging to musical societies has provided me with close friendship, emotional and practical support and encouragement and a sense of worth.
Each group is like a family, truly caring for one another and being there in times of need.
It is a privilege to belong and I feel very blessed to have been a part of this musical world in Halifax.
I shall continue to sing because it brings me peace and makes me happy. I shall be forever indebted to my wonderful singing teacher Philip Sutcliffe who will be accompanying us on piano in the show and who for 10 years has been my absolute inspiration.
