Summer is slowly, but surely, starting to creep in and while we can’t guarantee you the kind of sunshine you crave and indeed deserve, we can guarantee that Phoenix Productions and their non-stop musical magicians have a show up their sleeves.
Yes, it’s that time of year again and while the cathedral town gets used to the political posters of guys and gals seeking your vote on every street corner, these posters are soon be replaced with adverts for Phoenix and ‘THE HOT MIKADO‘.
Based on Gilbert and Sullivan‘s ‘Mikado‘, its hotter incarnation is a good old fashioned love story based in 1940’s Japan. The show is to be staged in early August by Phoenix in the Premier Hall and rehearsals are starting to take shape already. With a wealth of local talent at its disposal, Phoenix are to cast Yum Yum, Nanki Poo, Ko-Ko and the shows other characters this weekend during its open auditions. Membership is still open and anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to come along and join in the fun.
Phoenix Productions has had over 10 years of success in the town and have staged some of the biggest shows out there for example Guys and Dolls, Jesus Christ Superstar, West Side Story and High School Musical. The Hot Mikado promises to be the best show yet.
For more information on rehearsals and auditions, keep an eye out for Phoenix on BEBO over the next few weeks.
