The year is racing on, tempus fugit and all that! Summer is here... and before we know it, the Regatta and Festivals, Henley Music and Fringe, will be upon us. The Boyfriend is over - great fun for the cast and very well received by the audiences - a big hand to director Ray Burton for that and now on to Raffles of Singapore. It seemed such a long way off when we told Ian Senior and Richard Cleghorn-Brown in 2008 that we would take on the show in November 2010, but now, the auditions are upon us and publicity is in the planning. Check out the music from the show on the Raffles page. The songs were sung for us by two professional West End singers and sound fantastic. More about this later.
Because time flies so quickly, it is important to make sure that an excellent programme of shows is in the pipeline for the future and I am sure that you have all noticed on the website that the line-up for 2011 is Follies in the Spring and Little Shop of Horrors in the Autumn. So, I am delighted to be able to announce that Judy Yeates, a long-standing member of HAODS with vast experience of large scale productions will be directing Follies, and Lloyd White who raised the bar with his brilliant production of West Side Story for us a couple of years ago will be directing Shop of Horrors. They will be announcing their production teams very shortly, so keep your eyes on the web site.
Incidentally, the more people who hit the web-site the better as it keeps our profile up on Google, which will encourage other people to click on too!
