Allo. Sorry for spam - style post but some of you might be interested... (The band is chock full of Ceciliany folks, and there's even of couple of former Cecilian board-treaders in the cast, so I hope this isn't too cheeky):

The Eastwood Entertainers are doing Thoroughly Modern Millie next week at the Eastwood Park Theatre in Giffnock. It's about a girl who moves from Kansas to New York to marry her boss - what an outrageously modern notion!

It's a truly fantastic show, full of great music and songs (in a 20s style, including some great dixieland stuff, with instructions in the score like "sock it to 'em!" and "full jolson"), and the choreography is looking outstanding. There's even a real American in the cast. Could be fun trying to guess which.

(I haven't seen the film but I gather that, as with Cabaret, the film sucks but the show is immense, so don't let that put you off if you have seen the film and didn't like it).

The theatre is in Giffnock, here (next to St Ninians high school):

(It's apparently fairly easy to get to on a bus from the city centre on the 38, or you get a train to Giffnock and walk for about ten minutes. Or even blag a lift from me, potentially.)

You can get tickets by calling 0141 639 5361.

If you're not already dialling: how many other shows explicitly refer to Sodom and Gomorrah in the title track? What more do you want?

Aah, but will it be "your big moment in showbiz"...?

sadly no. and i don't get to playa da bells either.

but "now bring it home!" and "piu lento e molto sappy" are pretty good directions to get.

haha, and "full tilt showbiz"

soon as the show is done i'm moving to new orleans and buying a house with a porch, and i'm gonna sit on it practising the sousaphone all day.
