 Following a very successful open evening when the author + composer Ian Senior and Richard Cleghorn-Brown along with professional actress Helen Barter, presented the concept of this exciting new musical, Raffles of Singapore, to a packed audience in the Green Room, the vote to take on the show as a project for Autumn 2010 was unanimous.
The trio outlined the story giving tantalising snipits of the dialogue and eight of the 21 songs and won over the audience, among whom were the producers of the original show. This will be an excellent Society show, with three principal characters, eight supporting characters and five significant cameo parts,all with a significant number of musical numbers, along with a good -sized chorus with ten musical numbers! Ages range from 8 to 65, so it is true Society show.
Previously produced professionally In Singapore and Hong Kong in 1979
where it played to packed houses, the author could boast the likes of
Kevin Whately among its original cast. HAODS was chosen by the author
to put on the show after he saw our amazing production of Titanic, and
we have now gained the UK/Europe/Northern Hemisphere premier rights of
the show. So put the dates in your diary and watch out for some more
news about this exciting project!
