Galloping towards Spamalot

Don't delay - grab your tickets today!

Hear that clip-clop noise? That'll be King Arthur's trusty servant Patsy on the coconut shells. He's hurrying in your direction to make sure you have booked your tickets to see the Monty Python comedy musical Spamalot on stage for the first time in Burton.

Fans of the Pythons will notice more than a loving nod to the classic comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Spamalot tells the legendary tale of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, the Lady of the Lake and assorted characters. Look out for the Knights Who Say Ni, the fish-slapping dancers, the Laker Girls, the Trojan Rabbit, French people with outrageous accents and much more!

Get ready for fantastic song and dance numbers including: He Is Not Dead Yet, Knights of the Round Table, Find Your Grail and, of course, Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life. 

The show runs from 7.30pm each night November 14-19 and there will also be a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets cost £12, with £10 concessions from Monday to Wednesday only. All matinee tickets are £10. Ring the Brewhouse box office on 01283-508100 or visit in person to book your tickets. Online booking (NO additional fee) is available at www.ticketsource.co.uk/littletheatreco

Juliette is a Disney Princess

Heading for Disneyland Paris this month

Congratulations to Juliette' Marchant who flies out to become a Princess at Disney Land Paris later this month.

It's the next exciting career step for LTC Youth member Juliette who has appeared at parties and events as Elsa for Primmy's Princess Parties - the company she founded with twin sister Scarlett in Burton.

Her initial contract is for four months and she'll be playing the roles of Rapunzel, Belle, Tinkerbell and Alice as face characters as well as character sets as Minnie Mouse and performing as a dancer in the parade. Here's a couple of pictures of her playing those characters in the Primmy's Princess Parties business.

Singing success for Heather's pupils

Matilda, Macmillan and much more

Heather Gallagher and fellow Vocal Intuition singing teacher Rachel Shaw held a two-day Matilda-themed vocal and performance workshop over the summer holidays at the Stapenhill headquarters of Burton Musical Theatre Company. The two days were filled with drama games, vocal warm ups, exercises and confidence boosters.

On the first day they had the excitement of welcoming the girl who was currently playing Matilda in the West End. Heather said: "The students were completely overwhelmed to have her there and even more so when they realised she was staying the entire day to work with them. The day culminated in a performance of When I Grow Up for parents."

Day two was action-packed as they worked on two more numbers from Matilda including harmony work, dialogue and full-on dance routines. All the work was performed to an exceptionally high standard to parents at the end of the day. 
 

Macmillan Big Night Out

In Late September, Heather and two of her students - Ruby Stewart and Elena Foster - took part in a charity evening in Derby. Raising money for Macmillan Cancer Care they performed as a trio in I Know It's Today from Shrek The Musical. Ruby also performed Part Of Your World from Disney's The Little Mermaid as a solo. Both girls had wonderful feedback from the audience and the evening raised more than £1,200.

Festivities with Friends

There's a chance to see and hear Rachel and Heather's students when they perform as part of this year's Festivities with Friends Christmas Show on December 15 at The Brewhouse Arts Centre.

Break-a-leg to Bill
