Grease

It is always a pleasure to come to a North Ormesby Minstrels production as you always receive a warm welcome. This afternoon was no exception.  The hall was a-buzz with great expectancy from the minute you entered.

The opening number was sung and danced with great enthusiasm, setting the scene of the pleasures to come.  The class of 59 certainly contained an assortment of different characters, just like any school class of today.  Each member of the cast developed their character in their own individual style from one extreme to the other.  The blend produced such an interesting combination it is too difficult to single any individuals out.  However Alice Maenami as Sandy and Matthew Dunning as Danny gave excellent performances, dancing and singing with panache.

The singing and dancing from the whole company was delivered with enthusiasm, and the hard work put in by everybody resulted in a polished production, thoroughly enjoyed by an appreciative audience. The colourful costumes and very effective set added that bit extra to the performances.

A small band under the careful direction of Matthew Allan gave great support to all the cast.

Well done Lesley for an excellent show.  You have much to be proud of.

P.S. It was great to hear that the show had been a complete sell out.  There are many societies who wish they could say that.  Well done to all concerned
