Thoroughly Modern Millie

On Friday night I took my mum along to see Newbury Operatic Society's new version of the popular musical at the Corn Exchange. Once again it was very professionally produced and directed. The leads were all very competant, especially Millie (Tonya Walton) who had a huge part to learn and was pitch and word perfect!

I particulary enjoyed the dancing scenes, as there was a bit of tap - and my old tap teacher -Jacquie Trumper had her first major part, as Mussy Van Hossmere which she performed excellently.

The show was performed six times over five days - all sell-outs. This is a massive commitment to all involved so it is great to see the NOS so well supported by the local community.
