On Wednesday 2nd October Misfits went to Bristol Hippodrome to see Me & My Girl by BLOC Productions – hear what our members thought below!
BLOC Productions have chosen Misfits as their charity of the year! A few of our members came to see the show, received an exclusive backstage tour after the show, and some of our members even danced on the Hippodrome stage!
Misfits member Dave interviewed his fellow members after to hear what they thought:
Liam thought “the show was really good, it was a bit weird at the start, the songs was good and the person playing Sally was good”
Rachael said “It was good. I liked going backstage”
Chery said “fantastic”
Paul said “it was bl***y extent, I liked the dancing girls and I also liked going backstage”
Dave also shared their thoughts on the show:
“I thought it was amazing show Blockis a really good company who do really good and amazing shows, all the actors were amazing the singing and the dancing was really good, it was nice to go backstage and I really enjoyed learning the Lambeth Walk dance. I would love to do that again”.
Well done to BLOC Productions, we had so much fun!
About Me & My Girl:
The production was Stephen Fry and Mike Ockrent’s acclaimed revival version of Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose’s Me and My Girl. Fry’s sharp and fast-paced script, combined with toe-tapping and uplifting music by Noel Gay (including the famous Lambeth Walk, The Sun Has Got His Hat On and Leaning On A Lamp Post), made this a sublime and sunny treat for all fans of musical comedy!
Bill Snibson, a Lambeth market stall trader, is revealed to be the new Earl of Hareford and his newly-discovered aristocratic relations are horrified. Bringing him to Hareford Hall, they attempt to educate Bill into the ways of the gentry and to separate him from his cockney girlfriend Sally. The result is comic chaos that will appeal to all ages! With a host of hilarious characters, catchy tunes, witty one-liners and spectacular choreography, this is a show not to be missed.
