[audio:https://www.phoenixfm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Gavin-Wilkinson-Interview.mp3|titles=Gavin Wilkinson Interview]Best of luck to both productions. Also a big well done to Shenfield Operatic Society for their production of The Mikado at the Brentwood Theatre last week. It was fantastic and really well put together with excellent performances. A very effective set of beautifully painted flats allowed the exquisite costumes to shine. Congratulations to all involved.
Other productions coming up: Please come along to the Brentwood Theatre next Sunday 17th July as we are doing a Musical Revue called An Ordinary Day to raise money for the Brentwood Theatre. It’s sounding fabulous at rehearsals with a great cast of local performers (and me!). Devised by Emma Jane Sweeney and Ian Southgate it is set in a New York coffee shop and uses contemporary songs from the West End and Broadway.Tickets can be booked on 01277 200305.
