Nominations

This was my first visit to Rainhill for any reason and I was standing in for the usual NODA rep who was unable to attend .
It was great  to see a  talented and lively youth section of the local Musical Theatre Company perform especially as there are too few opportunities for young people to express themselves in a stage environment.  Produced and directed by Sam Moores the show offered a wide variety of songs  and styles. I was most impressed by the continuity which the Director engendered. No breaks in this performance; indeed on a couple of occasions  in their eagerness we had members of the cast almost on stage before they should have been.  This enthusiasm revealed itself throughout the show and it was obvious that the whole cast felt the same desire to be out there perfoming.  Much care had been taken with the filming  of the“Oscar Sections”  a novel idea  offering the chance of  an  acting  role to some members of the cast.  The range  and  choice of music selected gave the soloists a chance  to demonstrate their abilities and the matching choreography  by Sam Moores and Nicola Lyon reflected  the appropriate style.  Nicola was one of the Senior class listed and the song "I don’t want to miss a thing”  which she performed might well have been a motto for the whole cast.
I have not mentioned  any particular names because the whole cast was good but the Juniors were charming and in keeping with their age and experience at times  not totally sure of what they were doing. This is to be expected in  such a young group and aided by some lively encouragement from the Pit by the Director they treated the audience to some special moments. What I saw bodes well for the future of Rainhill Musical Theatre Company. These  young people are your future and I am sure that future is in safe hands.
