Back to a Musical Future

This was the first production for Mytholmroyd St Michael's Amateurs since the Boxing Day floods of 2015.  Their Church Hall, (and also their Church), where they perform was absolutely destroyed by water that went right up to their stage.  So now they have a beautiful new floor and stage and everything is looking pristine.

The show "Back to the Future" was a celebration of song and dance, the first half featured songs taken from shows produced in the past, and the second half from shows they would like to perform in the future.

They celebrated in style with a contrasting, well balanced program of ensemble numbers, duets and solos.  There were delightful solos from Marilyn Mitchell "ali Hai", Lesley Alston "Vilia, Diannah Miller "As if we Never Said Goodbye", from the ladies.  From the men we had the patter song from Pirates of Penzance, Eric Alston, "How to Handle a Woman" Andy McNally.

Lots of big ensemble numbers from a wide range of shows, Me and My Girl, Calamity Jane through to Billy Elliot and Sister Act.  Comedy came from the ladies with "My Boyfriend"s Back" and ''Three Little Maids from School'' from the men.

All this was interspered with selections from their enthusiastic Juniors S'Majic, and they were just magic, fantastic singing, excellent movement from shows like "Joseph", "Bugsy Malone" and Alice in Wonderland.  They set out to entertain and the audienec responded with enthusiam.

A amalgam of varied songs from Musical Theatre well presented with creditable performances,.

Long may you flourish.
