Grease is the word
It is the ultimate High School story of teenage love lost and found and it has kept audiences tapping their feet and singing along throughout the Seventies, Eighties, Nineties and into the 21st Century. Yes, indeed – Grease is the word!
Now the youngsters of Limelight, the youth arm of BAOS (Basingstoke Amateur Operatic Society) are all set to bring the cool and confident Danny, sweet Sandy and the rest of the pupils of Rydell High School to life on stage at Queen Mary’s College. Performances are on Friday 31st October (7.30p.m), Saturday 1st November (2.30pm and 7.30pm) and Sunday 2nd November (2.30pm).
Since their last production of Fame Jr in April this year, the Limelight Group has grown and now numbers 30 members all aged between 13 and 17. Among them are Alyssia Kershaw, James Davies, Owen White, Jess Phillips and Rhianon Mone from the Hatch Warren area.
Experienced Director Richard Cox will inspire an electrifying performance for this, his first Limelight production. Simon Eastwood retains the baton as Musical Director while fifteen year old Limelighter, Zoë Blackall, also from Hatch Warren, takes on the considerable challenge of Choreographer. A talented dancer, Zoë has previously choreographed individual dances for several Limelight shows but this is the first time she has taken the overall role for an entire production.
