Disco Inferno

It’s been eighteen months in the making, what with Covid and lockdowns, but Birmingham Youth Theatre bounced back with this, not only first class production, but the first amateur production in Birmingham for quite some time.

Disco Inferno, as the name suggests, is a fast moving production full of the music of the 70’s which everyone knows and gets the audience singing and clapping along, and Birmingham Youth Theatre did it proud.

Charlie Bland played Jack Flash, the central character, who sells his soul to the devil.  Charlie leads the company well with a very good performance.  He was well supported by Ruby Blount as Jack’s long suffering girlfriend Jane.  Jack’s best friend Tom, was played by Harrison Doherty who sang well and used the stage to the full.  Maggie, was played by Molly Ewins who gave a very confident performance.

Maddison Clarke played Lady Marmalade, the devils femme fatile, who had a great stage presence and gave an outstanding performance.

The main principals received good support from the remainder of the cast and chorus members.  I really enjoyed the renditions of Pop Muzik and the Village People medley. 

The company used the set well and the costumes stood out, very colourful.  It was good to see the live band on stage with the cast and this worked well, they were well balanced and you could hear every note.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production and Welcome Back.
