The event, entitled \u2018Broadway to Bridgnorth\u2019, will feature a showstopping programme of songs at St Leonard\u2019s Church on August 9th at 7.30pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The concert will bring together a 21-piece orchestra conducted by globally renowned musical director Alfonso Casado Trigo, a 40-strong choir, and several leading West End performers, including Jeremy Secomb, Chris and Lucy Key, Jessie Hart and Erica Ann Deakin.<\/p>\n

Chris, director at Yellow Ticket Productions, said: \u201cThis promises to be an evening of world-class entertainment in the heart of Shropshire \u2013 a true celebration of music, talent and theatrical magic.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have talents of this calibre \u2013 backed by an incredible local choir and orchestra \u2013 all under one historic roof, is extraordinary.<\/p>\n

\u201cBonnie Langford and fellow cast member Jeremy Secomb will take to the stage fresh from starring in Stephen Sondheim\u2019s Old Friends on Broadway, making this transatlantic performance quite literally a case of Broadway to Bridgnorth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concert will include hits from The Greatest Showman, Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd and Les Mis\u00e9rables.<\/p>\n

The concert follows a unique training programme for aspiring performers aged 11 upwards, which is being run by Yellow Ticket Productions and is called \u2018One Week More! \u2013 The West End Experience\u2019.<\/p>\n

Running from 28th July to 2nd August in Bridgnorth, the intensive week offers students the chance to train directly with top-tier directors, performers and vocal coaches \u2013 including Alfonso, Jessie Hart of Dirty Dancing and Les Mis\u00e9rables, Chris Key, the Worldwide Associate Director of Les Mis\u00e9rables, who has also played the lead role of Jean Valjean, and Lucy Key, whose starring role as Maria in West Side Story remains a career highlight.<\/p>\n

The two couples from Bridgnorth say they are passionate about bringing their West End experience to Shropshire.<\/p>\n

Alfonso said: \u201cGrowing up surrounded by teachers and fellow students who inspired me was one of the reasons why I became the professional musician I am today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally from a little town near Seville, I remember attending summer music schools in Andaluc\u00eda, where I would interact with other musicians of a similar age and learn and share music and life experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the course, a big festival took place, where students and renowned artists would share the stage and enjoy the music together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently moved to Bridgnorth with my wife, and we both have the vision of bringing this same experience to the town and sharing our passion and knowledge of theatre with young aspiring actors and musicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a young actor, musician or conductor who would like to perfect your technique and be part of this unique week, get in touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The course will conclude with a showcase performance at Bridgnorth Endowed School, where students will share the stage with the professionals they\u2019ve worked with throughout the week.<\/p>\n
