Mmmm….went to see Heywood Amateur Operatic & Dramatic doing one of the ‘biggest’ musical shows there is, last night.
Jo Weetman’s production did not disapoint! But ooooh! the seats are hard! 
Excellent performances, both musical and dramatic, from the leads Jessica Moss and John Weetman ( a superb ‘Professor’) and a well sung ‘On the street where you live’ from Chris Pollard!
Professor and Colonel (Neil Sampson) scenes quite brilliant!
As ever a highlight was the ‘I’m getting married in the morning’ routine led by Rod Fitton.
Production and technical staff wowed the audience as the lights went up on the first Race Meet scene….the whole company, on stage, in Edwardian (?) costume in the blink of an eye!
As ever MD David Abendstern’s orchestra sounding very good through the big production numbers to the gentle solo’s like ‘I’ve grown accustomed to her face.’ (This superbly done here!)
Pictured above two members of the chorus – Rachel and….I’ll find out!
Oh, it’s so much nicer watching and listening to something LIVE!
BRAVO!
