The Musical Theatre Society have just completed their first round of auditions for their upcoming musical, Legally Blonde.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n UMMTS offer another programme alongside their main musical event, to give performers more opportunities to develop their skills. Their Manchester Musical Revue<\/em><\/a>\u00a0runs separately from their main show, and aims to give more students a chance at getting on stage in a more relaxed environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The program has had a lot of success. Their recent show ‘Foolproof’ was nominated for \u201cBest Musical Revue\u201d by the National Operatic and Dramatic Society. They performed \u201cThe Fear\u201d, which was also shown at the Edinburgh Fringe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Manchester Musical Revue is an interesting creative project. The team starts with a Director, Musical Director, and Producer. Once the rest of the cast have signed up, the team decided on a theme for the show. After that, it\u2019s up to the cast to interpret the theme as they want, and the show gets built around the ideas of the members. It a great collaborative effort and means there is a lot of creative freedom. The music in the show is chosen around how the story develops, and can range from charts hits, classical musical theatre tunes or songs written by the cast especially for the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
