Opening night of the musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie” (performed by the Really Youthful Group- part of the Geneva Amateur Operatic Society) will be next Friday the 28th August. This youth group work hard each summer to put on a great production for adults and children alike. This year there is a cast of 30 aged from 9-17 with over 50 people involved in lighting, sound, make-up etc. Rehearsals have been taking place three times a week in Nyon and in Gex since the month of July.
The directors, Christophe Desorbay and Stephanie Abbott (also youths themselves) say; “The cast are all passionate about musical theatre. It’s obvious when you see them rehearse as you can feel that they love what they are doing. There is so much talent and commitment in this show, it’s incredible!”
These shows are becoming a tradition in Nyon to mark the end of summer before the youths and children return to school (local schools return on Monday and many international schools the following week). Productions are on Friday August 28th at 20:00 Saturday August 29th at 15:00 and 19:30 and Sunday August 30th at 15:00 and can be booked on line at the theatre in english. These shows are popular and sell out fast!
