'Memories from the Musicals'

Halifax Amateur Operatic Society has presented many fine shows over the years - and members will re-visit a selection of the best in the spectacular gala concert ‘Memories of the Musicals’ on April 27 and 28.

Featuring talented local performers and musicians, the group will embrace the magic of such shows as ‘Hairspray’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Chess’, ‘Titanic’, and many more.

With a cast of more than 100 performers, including an on-stage choir and orchestra, the celebration of musical theatre aims to wow audiences old and new.

Paul Addy, chairman of HAOS Productions, said: “With our new show, it’s all about taking a look back at some of our great productions and bringing them to life all at the same time. It has also allowed us to bring together a large number of our members, in the on-stage choir and ensemble, including our junior

group.

“We are really excited about presenting ‘Memories’ to the people of Calderdale and beyond.”

Society members are now hard at work rehearsing for the show and are looking forward to a fun evening.
