Our amazing week at the The Alexandra is over. We are incredibly grateful to Cameron Mackintosh and Music Theater International for trusting us to lead this West Midlands production, in collaboration with Bournville Musical Theater Company, Bilston Operatic Company and West Bromwich Operatic Society.
