2010 – The Boy Friend

mttour — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:02:14 +0000

Won’t you Charleston with me?

It’s the roaring twenties and at Madame Dubonnet’s finishing school, the pupils are anything but perfect young ladies! They’re all after just one thing: a boy friend. Poor little rich girl Polly just can’t seem to find love…until she falls for a local messenger boy. Things then get complicated as Polly’s father (who has banned her from having boyfriends) unexpectedly arrives from England. As the young ladies and their beaus quick step their way through the French Riviera, even the prim and proper Madame Dubonnet starts to find romance!

Lively characters and spectacular dance numbers combine in a comedy romp through the world of 20’s musicals. With such numbers as “Perfect Young Ladies”, “The Boy Friend”, “It’s never too late to fall in love” and “I could be happy with you” there’s a song and a dance for every situation, but will there be a good old fashioned happy ending for Madame Dubonnet’s School for Young Ladies? And will their suitors ever get that Charleston?

The band will reasonably small and made up of familar faces as well as some new and exciting talent!

Featuring songs from some of the well known musicals: Hairspray, West Side Story, Mamma Mia! and maybe introducing you to some new songs from 13 and You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, it promises to be lots of FUN!

This is just a chance for everyone to get stuck in, have some fun and do something they may not have done before so it would be great to see as many people come and support us as possible!

2001 – HMS Pinafore

MTSoc Administrator — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:53:25 +0000

Comic opera in two acts; music by Sir Arthur Sullivan; text by W. S. Gilbert. First produced at the Opera Comique, London, May 28, 1878. The first American performance, New York, 1878, was unauthorized; the first important American production took place November, 1897, at the Boston Museum. The success of Pinafore seems to be as lasting as the mighty deep itself, and nearly as widespread: certainly wherever the English language is spoken it is one of the most popular of comic operas. It sprang to instant popularity in the United States, its success being rivaled among Gilbert and Sullivan’s works only by the Mikado. Its popularity is well deserved for it contains some of Gilbert’s most clever sallies of wit and some of Sullivan’s most charming melodies. Moreover, the former’s satire on matters nautical in England during victorian days and the latter’s parody of “sea music” can be as well appreciated and enjoyed now as ever.

2003 – The Grand Duke

MTSoc Administrator — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:51:31 +0000

“The Grand Duke” is Gilbert & Sullivan’s final collaboration. It was first performed on 7th March 1896, and ran for only 123 performances in London’s Savoy Theatre. It is one of their least-performed operettas, but contains some of the finest music Sullivan ever wrote.

The action takes place on the SS American, sailing from New York to England. On board are the beautiful American heiress Hope Harcourt, her english fiance Sir Evelyn Oakleigh and Hope’s Mother. Stowing away on board is Billy Crocker, a young admirer of Hope’s who can’t believe she would really marry the silly Sir Evelyn and determines to try and stop her. Public Enemy Number Thirteen, with his moll Erma, is also along for the ride and he passes on to Billy the passport and ticket of a gangster friend of his who didn’t catch the boat. This leads to unwelcome complications for Billy, as he and the Public Enemy have to keep changing disguises to avoid arrest. Keeping the steam at boiling point in the ship’s engine room and working the stabilisers overtime is the sexy, incandescent Reno Sweeney: ex-evangelist and currently nightclub singer. With her help all the shipboard disasters are averted and all the romances sorted out – including her own.
