A MUSICAL extravaganza featuring songs from Andrew Lloyd-Webber to the Bay City Rollers will be taking to the stage later this month.

Singers and dancers from the Midland Musical Theatre group are currently putting the finishing touches to their show, Reach for the Stars.

The curtain is due to go up at Malvern Festival Theatre on Monday, November 19 and promises to be a great night out for anyone aged from eight to 80.

"This is a variety show similar to the ones that used to be on television on a Saturday night," said Paul Parker, PR officer for MMT.

"We're featuring snippets of 80 songs, from Perry Como to the Bay City Rollers. It is the sort of modern musical which will appeal to all ages."

The show ends on Saturday, November 24. Details: 01905 425299.
