The curtain is about to rise on New Community Academy’s production of much-loved family musical Oliver!

Director Russell Whittingham hopes audiences will be left wanting “more, please” when the show opens on Tuesday.

“I think it’s going to be our best show yet. We have a couple of people I strongly believe will be going on to much bigger things,” says Russell.

With a lively score featuring such favourites as Oom Pah Pah, Food Glorious Food, Consider Yourself and As Long As He Needs Me, the show runs at the New Bradford Playhouse from Tuesday to next Saturday at 7.15pm. For tickets, ring (01274) 618148 or go to tncaa.com.
