Adored as it is by we fans,
SCTV was never a ratings grabber, either in syndication or on NBC. (Before moving to its 90 minute slot on NBC, the show debuted in a half-hour format immediately following
Saturday Night Live.) Rick Moranis joined the show in its third season, after it became apparent that castmates Tony Rosato and Robin Duke weren’t clicking.
In Dave Thomas’ SCTV: Behind the Scenes, the show’s vade mecum of abtruse insight, Moranis remarked, “I was the only guy ever to join the show from outside the little Second City world.” Moranis initially sensed resistance coming from Joe Flaherty’s corner. “I think he resented me because I hadn’t, in his mind, paid my dues by coming up from the theatre. We never came to blows or anything, but if you look through the whole catalogue, there isn’t a lot of stuff that Joe and I did together.” Thomas met Moranis at a party where both took to the stage and jammed with the band. “He had a good reputation,” T
The New Wolsey has championed disabled performers by forming a production partnership with Graeae theatre company and then took the lead in helping to establish the Ramps on the Moon project. Both projects were incredibly successful at integrating disabled performers into mainstream productions.

The high point of Ramps on the Moon came with a critically acclaimed revival of the Pete Townsend musical Tommy which then went on a UK tour after its Ipswich run.

Turn back the clock 20 years, and in 2001, the New Wolsey Theatre was doing the same thing. After two years of closure, following the collapse of the previous Wolsey Theatre company in 1999, the theatre was reborn as the New Wolsey and guided by two new, but experienced theatre-makers, the husband and wife team of Sarah Holmes and Peter Rowe, who had been enticed away from Theatr Clywd in north Wales, to run the Suffolk theatre.
FA Cup Final Musical Opens Friday Tuesday, 1st May 2018 15:09
Friday sees the New Wolsey Theatre stage the opening night of
Our Blue Heaven, the specially-written musical celebrating Sunday’s 40th anniversary of Town’s 1978 FA Cup final triumph.
The New Wolsey’s artistic director Peter Rowe has woven fans’ stories and memories into his script, while there is a live soundtrack of chart hits from ’78.
With a hasty wedding, a first birth and missing tickets to contend with, will our mad-keen Ipswich fans make it to the final?
Can the Town navigate the frozen pitch at Bristol Rovers, the rioting Millwall supporters at the Den, dodgy refereeing at Highbury and make it all the way to Wembley?
