THIS year has certainly been a busy one for five ladies from the Worcester Musical Theatre Company.

As well as producing their own clutch of beautiful babies, the quintet are also in rehearsal for their annual spectacular show which will be staged at the Swan Theatre next month.

The mums and babies are Laura and Jessica Skelton, Ellie and Benjamin Bugg, Charlotte and Maisie Elston, Bex and Jonah Brown and Sara and Thomas Hedges.

Bex Brown and Ellie Bugg, both producers for the show, are confident that, with so many babies born to members this year, the cast for the company in 2030 will be assured. Mrs Bugg said: “From baby production to theatre production, for some us it’s been a very tiring, but rewarding year.”

This year, the group’s production Top of the World features a show-stopping mixture of music, dance and comedy, as well as the Harlequin Stage School, Claines CE Primary School and a 40-strong company.

The production is at the Swan from November 5 to 9.

Tickets, priced £14, are available from the box office on 01905 611427.
