When my sister asked whether I wanted to see a musical based on the book Little Women, I thought: why not? Even if I couldn't really imagine it as a musical. And when I found out the whole thing was performed by a local youth group, I was even less impressed!
Of course it was a big case of prejudice, since the whole performance (apart from the first song, which I could not understand: music way too loud) was extremely good. The performers were brilliant, the girl playing Jo had a fantastic voice. There was humour, there were tears (yes, I cried) and I was very happy to have said yes to my sister.
Next time she invites me to a show/musical by the Phoenix Players from Portadown? Yes!

WooHoo I love a surprise like that and sounds like wonderfully talented cast. Why indeed with such pretty voices do they need the music so loud.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, the 'am-dram' scene in the UK generally is very good. I was myself a participant half a life ago, in SMYCMS. So glad you had a fun night out with your sis!!! YAM xx
I have never been in a proper play. Not even at school. I think I am better off watching them.
DeleteI'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's extra nice when it happens like that: no expectations followed by a pleasant surprise.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been nice ! I love musicals !
ReplyDeleteAmateur groups can be very surprising in their talents. After all big stars have to start somewhere.
