TEN YEARS AGO: Christmas comes early in Boston thanks to troupe of 105 children
Christmas came early to Boston 10 years ago in an exhilarating mix songs from the shows and festive favourites.
West End To Christmas brought together hits from London’s famous theatre district and yuletide numbers.
The two-hour show was staged by the Blackfriars Theatre Academy, with 105 children aged from four upwards taking to the stage following three months’ preparation.
It featured musical numbers from Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as classics from the likes of My Fair Lady, Doctor Dolittle and Avenue Q, as well as a sprinkling of Christmas songs.
The academy’s recently formed Glee Club would also be paying tribute to the smash-hit TV series Glee, with songs from the programme.
