EVERYTHING GOES
Celebrating 100 years of musical theatre
“Everything Goes” is the exciting new 2023 show by the award-winning Milborne Port Opera. It’s a highly entertaining, foot-tapping backstage musical about performing in backstage musicals.
A group of actors are rehearsing their next show on stage. The theatre cleaner (who knows nothing) wanders in and demands to know what is going on. The director and the cast explain by performing their show, and at the same time provide a potted history of Musical Theatre, from Showboat to Chicago, and back again via Hamilton and Les Miserables.
The cleaner ends up wiser and vastly entertained -by their performances, as well as the backstage banter and antics of the cast. Converted!
The show features well known and lesser set pieces from many favourite hit musicals and films. Many of these are ensemble pieces, but with solos from MPO’s favourite performers. All the usual gang (including present and past Horsington residents) are in the show, plus a few new members, who have thrown themselves into the production with great enthusiasm.
Rehearsals are well under way. Here is a preview. Save the date – 12-15 April. Milborne port Village Hall. Not to be missed.
