Hey theatregoers.....

Just thought I would let you know about my current musical that is returing to the stage for a mini Uk tour. It is being performed again by Broadway School of Performing Arts, and judging by the reception it recieved in the summer, it is really worth a look.

CHEAP TICKETS...ORIGINAL NEW MUSICAL...PASSIONATE CAST...EMOTIONAL JOURNEY...NEW MUSIC...WHAT'S NOT TO ENJOY




Northamptonshire composer, Gareth Peter Dicks has created a new musical for the stage. Bluebird, a new WW2 love story. After its successful workshop in July a new version premiers at The Masque Theatre, Barton Seagrave on 22nd November 2008 as part of it’s first UK tour.

Bluebird is a dramatic and passionate one act musical that promises to pack a punch. Although only 90minutes in length, this theatrical telling of life in war torn Britain, strikes a familiar chord with today. The story, set in 1940’s London, is about normal people, changed and affected by events out of their control. Bluebird’s heartbreaking story, spans the whole six years of the war, and tells of a young nurse, Roberta Jones, as she sees her husband called up to fight and her daughter evacuated to the country.

With powerful music and engaging lyrics, this touching musical is sure to draw anyone into its heart; an original story of love, sacrifice and patriarchal dedication. Based on real life accounts, Bluebird, tells an honest account of life within 1940’s Britain. To many this period seems pure fantasy, but to others the reality is strong; close-knit societies of people fighting for their country and a nation joined as one, now artistically brought alive in this tale of hope and truth.

“Roberta Jones is heartbroken when Pete goes to war, leaving his family behind. They keep their love alive by a series of intense letters. As the war begins to take it causalities, Roberta, seeks solace in a US patient, Ben, much to the disapproval of her best friend. But as the fighting gets more intense, so does the connection between them.”

Gareth Peter Dicks’ previous credits include; Escape, the musical and A Million Grains of Sand, both albums available in Dress Circle, London. (www.dresscircle.com).
