Gang Show 2019

The Scout Gang is back again in town bringing with them their own special brand of entertainment. All looking squeaky-clean in their stage white Scout uniforms and red scarves, they took to the stage in their own inimitable style, full of energy, enthusiasm, verve and zest! OK, some of them were “out of step but oor Jock”, but this added to the fun and enjoyment of the show! The show programme was wide and varied and there was something for everyone in its content. The young cast lustily sung through all the big music numbers, among them being a space item entitled Space – The Final Frontierand another enjoyable item was The Toy Box. And you can’t go wrong with a Mama Mia medley, which had every member of the audience tapping their feet and singing along with them! That was the same with the Gang’s excerpt from current London West End musicals, in which we were entertained with new songs from these shows. Everyone appearing in a Gang Show is a star in their own right, but there are always scene stealers in the show! They are the very young Beaver Scouts – and, as they have done before, they got their audience well and truly into the mood of the show. This time their musical subject was “Animals” and it contained a humorous song called Three Blind Jellyfish, which suited the young ones’ talents. And chaos reigned supreme when they got their audience up on their feet to do The Penguin March! It was all great fun! Some quiet comedy was also interspersed throughout the main dancing and singing numbers to raise the laughs. The show was a real musical feast and zipped along at a great pace until it reached its unique Finale with the Gang all neatly tiered up on rostra in the true GS tradition to sing through the hit songs from the show, culminating in the most famous of all – Riding Along On The Crest Of A Wave. Gang, you worked your special magic again!
