Following the sensational sell-out success of ‘Grease’ Frome Musical Theatre Company’s Youth Section Spellbound look forward to presenting the hit musical ‘CATS’ from Thursday 3rd – Saturday 5th August at the Frome Memorial Theatre.
With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and based on ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’ by T. S. Eliot, ‘CATS’ is set amongst a larger than life junkyard playground and is alive with favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr. Mistoffelees, Macavity, Old Deuteronomy, Grizabella and Skimbleshanks and features unforgettable songs including Memory and Jellicle Ball.
The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball. One by one they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.
This show promises lots of energy, mysterious characters, mischievous costumes and of course lots of super singing and dancing from the 57 youngsters.
Spellbound was launched in 1989 to offer young people an introduction to musical theatre and provide a pipeline of young people into the main group’s productions. Many ‘Spellbounders’ have gone on to perform in FMTC pantomimes and May shows as well as taking technical roles backstage.
The principle cast are: Old Deuteronomy – Lochlan Apps, Munkustrap – Hannah Stamp, Grizabella – Ella Evans, Bombalurina – Jess Golay, Jellylorum – Lauren Nolan, Demeter – Millie Weare, Rum Tum Tugger – Tom Hill, Gus The Theatre Cat – Harvey Joseph, Magical Mr Mistoffelees – Leo Horler, Growltiger – Alfie Dackombe, Griddlebone – Harriet Cooper, Mungojerrie – Kaylyn Neale, Rumpleteazer – Megan Wright, Skimbleshanks – Nick Rose, Jennyanydots – Holly Davis, Victoria – Izzy King, Bustopher Jones – George Langley and Jemima – Lauren Penney.
