Tuesday 31 March - Saturday 3 April, with evening performances at 7.30 pm [Tuesday to Thursday and Saturday], plus an afternoon performance only on Good Friday at 3pm, Armstrong Hall, Thornbury
Set in the same era as last year's successful version of Fiddler on the Roof, yet demonstrating such a different picture of life on the other side of the world, more than 50 young people, who together make up the Northavon Youth Theatre Company, are proud to display their versatility by staging a brand new version of an old favourite: Half A Sixpence, this Easter.
This is the musical that gave star status to a young Tommy Steele, in the rôle of Arthur Kipps, both on stage and screen and NYTC is delighted to be one of the first groups in the country to bring this exciting revival to audiences.
Seats will once again be at a premium for this celebrated group, which is now in its 34th year of bringing high quality youth productions to Thornbury, and has an impressive list of theatrical awards, plus more than 40 successful productions to its credit.
Half A Sixpence is based on the novel Kipps by HG Wells and tells the story of a young man who meets eccentric actor Harry Chitterlow and suddenly finds himself unexpectedly rich. He is consequently transported from a poor existence and a seemingly everlasting draper's apprenticeship, 'All In The Cause of Economy', to becoming 'A Proper Gentleman'. Arthur has three soul mates and close friends in Sid, Pearce and Buggins, plus their female counterparts: Kate, Victoria and Flo and a childhood sweetheart named Ann, but they are all quickly forgotten when he befriends the Walsingham family, especially the beautiful Helen, although he sings that 'She's Too Far Above Me'. He wins her over, however, and in spite of exchanging a lover's token with Ann ('Half A Sixpence') plans to marry Helen! He comes to his senses and realises Ann is the girl for him and they enjoy a blissful wedding ~ 'Flash, Bang, Wallop! with their friends, but then Artie's big plans cause a rift when Ann tells us: 'I Know What I Am'.
To find out whether money does bring happiness to this young man, or if he learns a different lesson, join NYTC for a musical comedy that will appeal to all ages, with an eleven-piece orchestra bringing nearly 30 numbers to life, including some great song and dance classics! With special party rates and Family Tickets available on Good Friday, demand for seats will be high, so to avoid disappointment, either ring: 01454 613172, call into our Box Office at Wildings, Thornbury High Street from 15 March, or post your booking to: NYTC, c/o Jarvis Woodhouse Events Ltd, 19 High Street, Thornbury, South Glos BS35 2AE.
