"One Spirited Community" ... it's the combined efforts of the many individuals on stage and behind the scenes that make the production a success, and in this respect CHTC have scored a real hit for the community. Well done all. Mark Lillycrop NWN2
We had the great honour to stage the Berkshire premiere of this new musical. As you would expect, the music was outstanding and there were parts for all ages. The Children really stole the show.
The show is set in Victorian England and tells the story of Thomas Barnardo, a philanthropist who founded homes for destitute children. The action takes us from the rooftops of London to the Gin Palaces of the city, one of which through a twist of fate, becomes the location for his first children's home. This musical is Oliver!-esque in style and is best known for the much-quoted Tim Rice lyric: "Here I have a lovely parrot, sound in wind and limb, I can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with him".
