"The
Biz has trained many aspiring
youngsters in all aspects of
stagecraft over the last 10
years. It has successfully
staged a number of shows at
Woking's Rhoda McGaw Theatre and
in doing so has raised more than
£14,000 for local charities.Increased interest encouraged producer/director Erika Vincent and her team to bring this year's Biz Summer School production of Fame – The Musical to a wider audience at the 520-seat Leatherhead Theatre. Their courage paid off to judge by the large, enthusiastic audience at the last of the three performances which were the result of the two-week summer school....
Natalie Bryant shone brightly
as
Carmen – a PA student with
obvious talent ...Her
whole-hearted singing of the
title song really did seem to
"light up the sky like a
flame".....
Anna Walker's creative
choreography made the most of
the available stage area and of
the cast's ability...
The Biz's ambition to fill
The Leatherhead Theatre was well
justified – hopefully they will
decide to come back next year to
entertain with another musical
and to collect yet more for
worthwhile charities.
