MH TODAY FEBRUARY 2018

Every spring, Mill Hill Musical Theatre Company stages a private party for its patrons – the people who support us financially with a (minimum) annual subscription of £15 (£8 for under 16s).

Not to put too finer point on it, the Company would not exist if it wasn’t for our patrons.

As it gets harder and harder to make a profit from the main autumn shows, there is a bigger and bigger reliance on this invaluable type of financial support.

These Patrons’ Parties for the past few years have been in the form of a revue, including 2014’s A Night At The Oscars featuring Academy Award-winning favourites, and in 2017 we performed songs with boys or girls names in the title in Name That Tune.

This year, however, MHMTC is putting on a full-blown musical – and rehearsals of Sandy Wilson’s hit musical comedy The Boy Friend are in full swing. All our members are enjoying the nostalgic, Twenties-style songs including I Could Be Happy With You and the title number, the hilarious, saucy dialogue, Margaret Dewar excellent, tongue-in-cheek musical direction, and director/choreographer Nikki Hurley’s charming, fun dance moves.

MHMTC’s patrons are invited to attend our spring shows for free, as long as they have paid their subscription and have booked a ticket through Patrons’ Secretary Sharon Brandelli.

These performances are not open to the public.

The Boy Friend is being staged on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 April from 7.30pm, at Hartley Hall, Flower Lane, Mill Hill, NW7 2JA. Patrons also get advance booking for our main autumn production along with reduced ticket prices for the gala performances (Friday and Saturday), plus invitations to our twice-yearly quiz evenings and other occasional functions and events.

If you would like to become a patron, and also see The Boy Friend, email Sharon Brandelli, Patrons Secretary, at Sharon.brandelli@hotmail.com or call 020 8449 4943.
