The love story that gripped Paris

A tragic tale of searing passion and memorable music, La Traviata

is Verdi’s outstanding interpretation of one of the most popular

love stories of the 19th century, La Dame aux Camelias.

Based on a true story, it tells of the passionate loves and life of

the consumptive courtesan, Violetta. There are many echoes of

Verdi’s own life in Traviata and he threw himself into the music.

The highlights include the Brindisi, the best known drinking song

in opera, the duet Un Di Felice and Violetta’s haunting aria

Addio Del Passato.

This magnificent production boasts sumptuous sets

and costumes.

Sung in italian with English surtitles.

Cast subject to change.

from the group who brought you sister actanother great musical rompa feel good family musical

The award winning Toads Stage musical Company return to the

Princess Theatre following their smash hit success with Sister Act

in June 2014. They are pleased to be presenting another brand new

release for regional theatre groups - Legally Blonde and will be the

first group in the South West and only the 4th in the country to

present this show. With music and Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe and

neil Benjamin, based on the movie of the same name starring Reece

Witherspoon, this is a feel good musical full of fun and laughter

and suitable for the entire family.

Sorority star Elle Woods doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. So when her

boyfriend dumps her for someone ‘serious’, Elle puts down the credit

card, hits the books, and sets out to go where no Delta nu has gone

before: harvard Law. Along the way, Elle proves that being true

to yourself never goes out of style.

Toads are pleased to have the same production team that brought

you the fabulous Sister Act, and promise another evening of top

class musical theatre entertainment.
