This May Grayshott Stagers invite you to join us for a very British celebration as we present the hilarious and touching musical ‘Betty Blue Eyes’.
Based on the 1984 film ‘A Private Function’ featuring the late Dame Maggie Smith alongside Michael Palin and written by Alan Bennett, it has been brilliantly adapted for the stage with a deliciously infectious, toe-tapping, retro contemporary Stiles and Drewe score (the team who also wrote ‘Honk’ and the new songs for the musical version of Mary Poppins).
The result is a wonderful, whimsical musical, full of eccentric characters, and of course, our star, Betty the pig - we can’t wait for you to see our awesome mechanical puppet porker!
Tickets are just £17 and you can get a 10% discount for orders of 6 or more tickets. Find out more and book your tickets today at www.grayshottstagers.co.uk
Set in 1947, the war has ended but people are still suffering under the burden of food rationing, high unemployment, and the coldest winter for decades. Meanwhile, local officials feather their own nests by taking more than their fair share. The only bright spark on the horizon is the impending marriage of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Enter Betty, an adorable pig who is being illegally reared to ensure local dignitaries can celebrate the Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet whilst the local population have to make do with Spam.
We will once again be welcoming Heather Legat as Director, working together with Diana Vivian as musical director. Many of your favourite Stagers are enjoying bringing a brilliant cast of characters to life, such as the odd couple, Gilbert – an evangelistic chiropodist who just wants to keep his wife happy, and Joyce – a nobody determined to be somebody; Inspector Wormold - an obsessive destroyer of illegal meat; Mother Dear - seventy four and ravenous; along with a wonderfully weird assortment of bullies, spivs and snobs.
This is sure to become your new favourite musical so make sure you join us.
