Wicked musical
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes - in the shape of a new show by Stage Struck to mark the theatre company's silver anniversary. Jane Marie Osborne is the director. She said: "With this being our 25th anniversary show we have decided to combine some new selections with a couple of old favourites." Something Wicked... includes comedy sketches alongside songs from shows such as Wicked, Hairspray, The Producers, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, High School Musical and more. The show is on Thursday and Friday at 7.30pm and next Saturday (May 17) at 2pm and 7pm. Tickets are £10 from 01793 524481.
Step back in time
