Oh! Snow!
A magician casts the wrong spell and gets stuck inside the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
The narrators soon discover the magician's presence has led to a big glitch in the story: no dwarfs.
The heroine's friends must be enlisted in the dwarfs' place to ensure this fairytale has the right ending.
And that's HYT's latest show in a nutshell: as entertaining, original and quirky as usual, but for once free of deep hidden meaning.
We could simply sit back in Victoria Hall last week and enjoy a fresh and funny tale of good versus evil.
There was a wicked queen, kind-hearted heroine, dashing prince, bumbling villains and a lot of people wandering round the forest.
HYT band member Dennis Dennis Stockden made a creditable job of both writing and directing his first show for the group.
While the action sometimes moved a little too slowly, there were plenty of funny scenes to keep things bubbling along.
Dennis's songs were a particular highlight: tuneful, varied, played well, staged effectively and sung excellently by the cast.
They were strong performances from the principals -- most notably Emma Parker as the queen -- while several ensemble members also stood out.
