Weekday Group Theatre Trip
On 12 June the Weekday Group visited the Towngate Theatre in Basildon to see Tim Rice’s and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, based on the story in Genesis. It bursts with high energy and iconic songs like Any Dream Will Do - which we’ve been singing in our heads ever since! The cast of about 50 included children and the overall performance was simply brilliant. The lead singers presumably had professional backgrounds but the entire ensemble was amateur, even down to the usherettes. The orchestra played superbly and the audience contributed enthusiastically throughout, conferring a standing ovation for the finale. All financial proceeds were in support of the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
