Chairman David Gill said: “The audience can expect a feast of entertainment from the very talented Burnley Light Opera cast of 35 members.

“We know that the Burnley public love to come and listen to a varied selection of musical numbers both old and new.

An uplifting, energetic and family-friendly selection has been taken from the likes of Gypsy, Kinky Boots, Dreamgirls, Nine to Five, Parade, Company and Hamilton.

There will also be a medley of tracks from old favourites, such as Les Miserables, Phantom of the Opera, Sister Act, Mack and Mabel, and Finian’s Rainbow.

Anthony Williams will direct and choreograph the entire production and a five-piece orchestra under the musical direction of Steven Mercer will help take it to epic proportions.
