Well that was it!  The last Stage Door, so naturally the theme for tonight’s show was Goodbyes.  Plenty to choose from as well (see the playlist below).

A big thank you to all of you who have tuned in over the last eighteen months to hear a wealth of show tunes and theatre news and reviews,  I couldn’t have done it without you.  Thanks to all my guests both locally and professionally who have entertained us.

There were a number of productions we talked about over the show that you may be interested in catching.  Firstly, if you have star struck youngsters who want to be creative why not give the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch a ring to find out more details.  Summer Schools for 7-10 years and 11-13 years are running in August.  As well as performances of Bob the Builder for the little ones (ages 3-7).  Box Office 01708 443333. www.queens-theatre.co.uk.

Oh What a Lovely War is going to be at the Civic Theatre in Chelmsford on the 14^th & 15^th September at 7.45pm.  Box Office Number is: 01245 606505 or www.chelmsford.gov.uk/theatres.

Thanks for being lovely listeners and I hope to be with you on the airwaves very soon, but for now I am closing Stage Door.

Love and best wishes
