                               Worcester Musical Theatre Company – Never Forget

                     This annual production was in honour of our servicemen who gave their lives so that we can enjoy the future which they gave to us. Nightly raffles were in aid of Help for Heroes and Royal British Legion. There was an electric feeling in the auditorium before curtain up which continued right through the terrific song and dance performances. The show provided fourteen Sections with eight different producers and in total around sixty song and dance numbers. Forty cast members plus Harlequin Dancers and Claines CE Primary School children provided an evening of delight to the full house. Goodness knows how the performers remembered all the songs and dance sequences. Each Section was beautifully dressed, choreographed, sung and staged with excellent solos, duets, quartets and Company song and dance. Jokes and anecdotes delivered with deadpan expression were provided by Paul Bellamy who also introduced the sections. Ann Mayor with Richard Hulbert performed humorous sketches. The last Section in Act 1 ‘Remembrance’ included the Standard Bearers from the Royal British Legion and Buglers from the Salvation Army which left few dry eyes in the interval. Act 2 continued to provide brilliant Sections of entertainment and the Show Director Val Knight must have been extremely proud of the superb result of all the hard work and the outstanding talents of the performers. The four-strong orchestra provided a wonderful accompaniment and lighting and sound were of high quality. The finale ‘Never Forget’ which included the whole Company was outstanding. A wonderful nights entertainment which those who saw it will ‘Never Forget’
