Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring 1920s, The Boy Friend is a comic pastiche of 1920s shows.

Once again SWMTC were proud to be part of the 8 day weekend! This year we presented a fantatic collection of Songs from the Shows.

Mr Cinders is an inversion of the Cinderella fairy tale with the roles reversed. Prince Charming is a twenties flapper girl; while Mister Cinders is a lowly servant with whom she falls in love. The show captures the energy, wit and fun of the roaring ‘20s and is full of flapper girls and Charleston dancers and was perfect for SWMTC!

Disney's Beauty and the Beast is the story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial French town,and the beast, who is really a price trapped in a spell. To become a prince again, the Beast must love Belle and win her love in return.

Follies is a cult show by the legendary American composer Stephen Sondheim.

This was the first time that SWMTC have presented a musical by the highly regarded Broadway musician.

The story is set in a crumbling Broadway theatre, scheduled for demolition. It focuses upon a reunion of former showgirls who performed in a Ziegfeld-style follies review between the wars. The ex-show girls are brought together one last time before the theatre, in which they had performed in their youth, is torn down to put up a parking lot. The story focuses upon a love triangle between ex-show girls Sally and Phyllis, and their partners Ben and Buddy.

Godspell is that rarest of musicals - a show that combines Broadway and West End success with chart-topping style.

The cult rock musical was a smash hit on both sides of the atlantic when it opened in 1971. It was also a smash hit for our Youth Group!

The structure of the musical is that of a series of parables, based on the Gospel of Matthew. These are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns.

Blitz! is a musical by Lionel Bart, most famous for Oliver, and is set in the East End of London during the Blitz. Infact the story draws on Bart's childhood memories of London's Jewish East End.

The story focuses on two families, the Jewish Blitzteins and the Cockney Lockes. Mrs. Blitztein and Alfie Locke have adjacent stalls on Petticoat Lane: she sells herring, he sells fruit; they do not like each other. Their children, Georgie Locke and Carol Blitztein, are in love with one another.

Hello, Dolly! has lyrics and music by Jerry Hermanand a book by Michael Stewart and is based on Thornton Wilder's 1938 'The Merchant of Yonkers' which Wilder revised and retitled 'The Matchmaker' in 1955.

Hello, Dolly! was first produced on Broadway in 1964, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical and nine other Tonys.

The story is based around matchmaker Dolly Levi who takes a trip to Yonkers, New York to see the "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire," Horace Vandergelder. While there, she convinces him, his two stock clerks and his niece and her beau to go to New York City. In New York, she fixes Vandergelder's clerks up with the woman Vandergelder had been courting, and her shop assistant (Dolly has designs of her own on Mr. Vandergelder, you see).

As part of the Saffron Walden Carnival, in conjunction with Saffron Walden Ladies Circles, our summer show played to packed houses for its 4 night run.

Dipping into West End shows as diverse as Chicago, The Lion King, Jersey Boys and Mary Poppins, performers from both our Main company and Youth Group delivered hit after hit.
