Broadway on Subscription (From Stroud News and Journal)

Broadway on Subscription

THE magic of the great musicals comes to Stroud Subscription Rooms this weekend, bringing the glitz and the glamour from the West End stage and the bright lights of Broadway in the shape of Mad About the Musicals.

The timeless melodies and unforgettable lyrics of some of the best-loved songwriters like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice are brought together with the stunning vocal talents of a cast of five singers headed by Michael Courtney, Rachel Spurrell and Mark Isherwood.

The additional ingredient that will make this show a night to remember is the hilariously comedy that runs throughout the performance.

An array of songs from 'The Blues Brothers', 'Avenue Q' (one of the biggest hits at present on Broadway) and 'Annie get your Gun' are funny enough to warrant a show all of their own.

'Mad About the Musicals takes place on Saturday, April 9 at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced £12.50 or £11 concessions, are available from the box office.
