This production of
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice has nothing to do with the 2010 Walt Disney motion picture of the same name. It is a show that really needs to be experienced in person: the atmosphere that the staging and music create doesn’t, despite a sterling effort from the production team, come across on screen as well as it would in the theatre. But, at the end of the day, it is better (in the circumstances at the time of writing) to experience it this way than not at all.
Passion) with Tom Bales, Ryan Pidgen, Vicki Lee Taylor, and Kayleigh Thadani.
Penned by composer and orchestrator Richard Hough and writer Ben Morales Frost, the new musical explores the world of a sorcerer and his rebellious daughter, as she discovers the possibilities of her newfound magical powers.
Producer James Seabright commented, âThe latest national lockdown leaves us with a show ready to perform which we are unable to share with live audiences. I have been inspired by the determination and resolve of our cast, creative team to make this possible whilst maintaining the highest safety standards for everyone on and off stage.â
