Calendar Girls The Musical - Centre Stage Haverhill - Review

1 month ago | suffolktheatre.co.uk | Georgy Jamieson

Let me start by saying what a fantastic show Centre Stage have put on with Calendar Girls The Musical. It’s not an easy show to do, with a big cast, lots of scene changes, complex harmonies in the musical numbers, every emotion you can think of to convey and of course the grand finale – ‘that’ scene where the girls bare all!

Photo Credit: Craig Fuller Photography Farce is never easy to do, and a farce within a farce is even harder to do. With that in mind, this production of the farce within a farce, Noises Off, is off the scale brilliant on so many levels. We see behind the scenes of a touring theatre company putting on the farce Nothing’s On and meet them at the dress rehearsal or is it the tech? No one seems to know, as lines, props and plates of sardines come and go.
