It's A Kind of S'MAJIC! The title says it all!  What an apt title for this energentic and enthusiastic children's group, who revelled in their up-beat numbers.

Once again everything was there with superb lighting and a simple but effective stage set.  Lots of little touches, they projected an underwater scene, with lots of bubbles everywhere when they performed the "Beautiful Briny" from Bedknobs and Broomsticks.  A small Orchestra but well controlled so all the children could be heard.

A wonderful compliation of contrasting and balanced musical numbers, each one full of joie-de-vivre.  The programme was interspered with hilarous comedy interludes, I especially liked the "Synchronised Swimming" sketch.

A most impressive opening of Act Two with a brilliant "Circle of Life" from "The Lion King"with the children parading all around the auditorium carrying carved heads all all the jungle animals.  Another absolutely great number was the "Hallelujah Chorus" performed as never seen before.  They finished their sparkling production with a "Mary Poppins" selection.

There were several talented soloists with good strong voices singing throughout the varied programme linking each number with ease.

This was pure entainment with simple choreography  linking everything together.  The very appreaciative audience were shouting from the rafters by the end of the evening.  This Society goes from strength to strength , congratulations to the production team and all involved backstage.
