No other show conjures up the timeless glamour and romance of Broadway in its heyday than the “outrageously entertaining” musical Crazy For You.
The score's standout hits include "I Got Rhythm," "Nice Work if You Can Get It," and "Someone to Watch Over Me." It's a high-energy musical comedy that features virtuoso tap dance numbers, mistaken identity, plot twists, and classic Gershwin tunes. With one Gershwin tune following another, the music and madcap plot head toward the finale and a not unexpected happy — and hilarious — ending. This show is so funny it’s hard not to be hypnotised.

We are looking for talented performers who would like to audition for our upcoming season - Gershwin's sumptuous musical "Crazy For You" and the high-octane "Zorro"
The auditions will be held at 7pm on Monday 3rd November at Long Whatton Primary School. LE12 5DB.

We are delighted to announce we will be performing Victoria Wood's riotous musical "Acorn Antiques". This laugh out loud comedy is a must see so come along and join us at our lovely antiques shop in Manchesterford in October.

We invited Jon Robyns - the original "Princeton" from London's west end cast of "Avenue Q" to run a masterclass. It was incredible; Jon spent time explaining the ethos of the show and then worked with us to enhance our existing puppetry skill set. It was practical, fun, and inspiring! Having the opportunity to do this motivates us to perform at a higher level. Come along and witness this between May 20th - 24th at Loughborough Town Hall. Avenue Q is FUNtastic. This is a laugh out loud musical, a triple Tony award winner for best musical, score and book. It’s part flesh, part puppet and packed with heart. It takes an honest look at life’s issues and does so with humour and poignancy. It is a hilarious musical that fuses together humans and puppets.

Our New Members auditions will take place on Monday 4th November at Long Whatton Primary School, time 19:00. Please bring a prepared piece to sing a pianist is available. Our next show after The Hired Man is the multi-award winning Avenue Q. If you would like more details please contact Shane, see contacts page for details.

The Hired Man is now in final preparation. The cast have been brilliant; they are passionate, focused, engaged, and committed to providing a memorable piece of musical theatre. Come and see The Hired Man at Loughbororugh Town Hall, October 15th-19th. It is a bracing, gritty, earthy, and exhilarating musical adaptation of Melvyn Bragg’s stirring novel of the same name. It brings alive a cavalcade of British history which swept us into a new century bringing with it a war to end all wars. This earnest story of love, toil, and loss is beautifully brought to life by a passionate, moving, and thoughtful musical score penned by the brilliant Howard Goodall. The Hired Man is a multi-award winning piece of musical theatre that is a theatrical delight.

Our 20th anniversary show, The Hired Man has now been cast. Head over to the show page to see who will be playing who.
