AUDITIONS took place last month for the always eagerly awaited spring production by the Frome Musical Theatre Company (previously the Frome Amateur Operatic Society).
For the third time in its history the group has chosen to present Hello, Dolly! from 13th – 17th May 2014 at the Frome Memorial Theatre at 7.30pm, with one matinee performance on Saturday 17th May at 2.30pm.
After their sell out production of Cinderella over Christmas and the New Year, when 4,250 people passed through the theatre doors in one week, FMTC is confident this will be another favourite with the public, and advise people to book early to avoid disappointment.
The Frome Memorial Theatre box office is already selling tickets for the show so don’t delay in telephoning 01373 462795, visiting the web site at www.frome memorialtheatre.org.uk or going in person between 9.30am – 1.00pm Monday to Saturday.
The show is full of wonderful songs including ‘Put on your Sunday clothes’, ‘Before the parade passes by’ and of course the title song’ Hello, Dolly!’ made famous by the legendary Louis Armstrong, fabulous costumes and a string of eccentric characters that will leave audiences shouting for ‘more’.

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
