The Memorial Theatre has an exciting programme planned for May and June.
Coming up first is the Frome Musical Theatre Company’s School of Rock from Tuesday 2nd May until Saturday 6th May with performances at 7.00pm
Based on the hilarious hit movie, this musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night with roof-raising energy!
This is followed by Paul Young – Behind The Lens on Wednesday 10th May at 7:30 pm.
Paul Young will take fans behind the lens in a unique show that will coincide with the publication of his autobiography.
He has been a major star for four decades after breaking into the big time 40 years ago when No Parlez went to number one and spawned iconic hits like Wherever I Lay My Hat (That’s My Home).
More success followed with the number one album The Secret Of Association and the worldwide hit Everytime You Go Away, not forgetting an appearance at Live Aid and more. Paul sustained that success – while having fun in his tex-mex band, Los Pacaminos.
Now, on the 40th anniversary of No Parlez, he’s releasing a remarkable new record and publishing his extraordinary memoir; both called Behind The Lens.
He’s touring the UK, too, where he’ll meet fans, sing hits and tell stories about his incredible career. It’s time to revel in the classic hits and learn the stories behind them as Paul steps out from Behind The Lens.

Meet’n’greet packages are available.
