When Redditch Palace Youth Theatre decided to embark upon their first musical production they needed a capable musical director who could both teach and inspire the young performers, and so they turned to Michael.
Over a period of just over two months Michael taught the songs (and a little vocal technique) to the cast, many of whom had never sung before in a production. In that short period of time the cast mastered the many musical numbers of Animal Farm, and finally performed them admirably over the course of the three shows, accompanied solely by Michael.
No doubt this will not be the Palace Youth Theatre’s last foray into musical theatre, and it’s unlikely to be Michael’s last time working with the Palace Youth Theatre.
