A quick note about the set for The Likes of Us...

Having been involved in designing the set for The Likes of Us I am a tad biased, but I have to say - it's amazing!!!

If you came to see our production of Scrooge, then you will remember that we used a projector to create part of the scenery? Well we are doing it again this time, only we are using not just one, but, wait for it, two projectors, to create a large scene in the middle of the stage!!!

This is really exciting stuff as it's the first time that we have used projection as the main source of scenery and we're really pleased with the outcome. Combined with an interesting backdrop and fantastic lighting design by Eddie & Claire Nias, we think it will look really impressive.

Band Call for The Likes of Us

This is often most peoples favourite part of being in a production... having spent months rehearsing with just a piano, we finally get to sing with the full band on the sunday before the show. It's great!

Finally we get to hear the lovely tunes and melodies that really bring the music to life. It's really exciting and gives everyone that extra boost before the lull of the 'tech' rehearsal, and then we have the 'dress' rehearsal to look forward to. What fun.

Last rehearsal before we hit the theatre.....

Well that's it, the last rehearsal in the hall before the show next week!
It went really well and everyone was full of energy tonight, we're really looking forward to getting into The Lights at the weekend and running it properly! The children are really confident now, singing out and really acting their parts, its great to see. Carol has done such a great job working with them. We think this show is going to really impress, not only with the wonderful music, a given considering it was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice, but its the set that is the real piece de resistance!

Don't forget that a percentage of the box office sales for this production will be donated to Barnardo's childrens charity.

Mayors Showcase Success at The Lights for Andover Musical Theatre Company

Members of Andover Musical Theatre Company helped raise over £2000 for local charities on last night by performing at the Mayors Showcase Concert at The Lights.

The concert, which was a sell-out, included performances from a number of local performing arts groups and soloists specially selection by the Major of Test Valley, Councillor Zilliah Brooks.

Heather Whittam, Director of The Lights, and organiser of the concert was full of praise for those who performed, she said
"I cannot praise the hard work of you and the performers enough and all together it made for a fabulous show which everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy."
