Littlehampton Players Operatic Society offer first production for two and a half years
Chairman Simon Smith said: “And after some worrying periods during the rehearsal run, we think we’re in a position to get on stage!
“The stage of Littlehampton’s Windmill Theatre will be transformed into a Provencal village. LPOS is staging this little-known musical from Thursday to Saturday, April 7-9. With music by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell and Wicked are two of his more well-known scores) and book by Joseph Stein, this show focuses on the village of Concorde in the south of France. Set in the 1930s, the villagers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new baker, which will end the seven-week bread famine. When the new baker arrives, accompanied by his younger wife, the squabbles and tension in the village are alleviated – temporarily. Of course, being a musical, things can and do go wrong, and the small-minded villagers blame the baker’s wife for the return of their problems. Will everything be resolved, or will Concorde once again become a breadless village? In order to find out, you will need to come along to the Windmill for one of the performances.” Tickets (£14) can be purchased online at www.ticketsource.co.uk/littlehampton-players-operatic-society.
