Carole and I went to see the hunchback of Notre Dame within the cathedral; the evening started with a lovely meal in the cathedral restaurant.
Considering it is an amateur dramatic troupe, supplemented by students from Lincoln University arts course; the show was outstanding. The leading characters would not of been out of place in a West End or Broadway theatre.
I have vague recollections of watching the Disney film over and over again with our daughter, Fiona, and the shows brought back some memories of the story. I thought it was very similar to Les Miserables, but that could be because the book is written by the same author
Will definitely look out for any more shows that they do; we saw their first, Jesus Christ Superstar also played in the cathedral, because of my work we couldn’t see that show of Oliver and Shrek, which was planned, was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
What a great night it must have been. We regularly go to see plays at the Newcastle Theatre Company and they are an amateur group. They have some super plays and all the actors are so good.
Is this your photo with added processing or their poster?- need to know and be credited accordingly.
Why "considering it is amateur"?were you expecting the event to be poor?? I've seen many a substandard professional play/ballet/musical!! Professionals ( including back stage and technical) started and honed their skills as amateurs!
I love to see live performance. When we lived in NYC, we had a membership to off-off broadway shows. We saw some really good ones. ( and bad ones too hahahaha but enjoyed the outing).
This was brilliant & this is a lovely capture of your program depicting what we saw! By the very nature of the title amateur, the expectation is initially not as high as it would be from professionals. They do often prove to be just as good though. This particular performance was exceptional!
