Finishing touches before February curtain call
In September 2015 an eager cast, excited producers and many others set to work on Basingstoke Gang Show 2016. Now, nearly 5 months of hard work later, the show is almost ready. The cast are polishing and adding final touches to the show, scenery is having its final coats of paint and the last sequins being are being sewn onto costumes.
The Basingstoke Gang Show 2016 cast is the youngest ever! cast members are aged 8-22 years old the average age of 13 years. The cast of 64 enthusiastic scouts and guides are not only an exhibition of great local talent but each and every one of them is an active member of scouts and guides; they are also a shining example of our local youth. 7 members from this inspiring cast are from Hatch Warren Scout and Guide groups. I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of everyone at Basingstoke Gang Show, to wish them all “Good Luck” for the show!
The 2016 show has something for everyone in the family, this bestselling amateur production will have you tapping your toes and jumping & jiving. Get your heart racing and stimulate your senses in this popular local variety show.
Basingstoke Gang Show is not just a fantastic show, showcasing local talent. The aim of the Gang Show remains consistent; to enable the cast to reach their full potential. As they develop their self confidence, selfdiscipline, teamwork and trust, as well as making friends for life through a truly amazing shared experience. Basingstoke Gang Show 2016 cast member Rosie Holmes, aged 13 is an example of how Gang Show means to her; “I first got into Gang Show when I was 9. I instantly fell in love with it and made lots of friends. I don’t do any dance lessons outside Gang Show, so this is my chance to do what I love. Over the years I have had so many great experiences and made so many great friends. The best thing about performing is entertaining people and showing your talent to make people smile, and Gang Show lets everyone show the sparkle in them!”
