Wed 29th May - Sat 1 June The team that brought you "Five Guys Named Moe" was looking around for something to follow that show. Where else could they find such a collection of great songs? Jerry Herman – of course! This year is his 70th birthday, the man who wrote the songs for Hello Dolly, Mack and Mabel, Dear World, La Cage aux Folles, Mame etc. When this tribute show "The Best of Times" played the West End, Time Out said "Revue musicals don’t come better than this!". A toe-tapping treat! A Redbridge Musical Guild Production

Saturday 8th June 2002 A STREET PARTY FOR THE QUEEN (From 11am to 5.30pm) Well, not exactly in the Street, since we can’t really expect to close Oakfield Road on a Saturday. BUT we are planning an open-air party outside the theatre with street entertainment, and an "open house" inside the KMT, with non-stop entertainment, regular laser-shows, backstage visits, join-in events aimed at all the family. And it’s all FREE! This is a Jubilee Treat for our regular customers and hopefully will encourage a few "first-timers" to pop in and see the kind of fun that is always on offer at the KMT. Further details will be available nearer the time. |

Thu 20th - Sat 22nd June 2002
In Charles Dickens’ "David Copperfield" adapted for the stage by Matthew Francis, we follow the adventures of our famous hero through an abundance of familiar characters from Dickens’ original novel. The unpleasant characters of Murdstone, David’s vicious, bullying stepfather, Creakle, the sadistic headmaster, and the ever so ‘umble Uriah Heap are balanced against those well-loved characters of the endearing Peggotys, Aunt Betsey, and Mr Dick. And, of course, Mr Micawber, for whom something will undoubtedly turn up! A WOADS Production Tickets: See PLAY PRICES |

Wed 26th - Sat 29th June 2002 Another Op’nin’, Another Show! This year’s Number One musical, and you can see it at the KMT. A travelling theatre company is performing the musical of "The Taming of the Shrew" at the Ford Theater, Baltimore. The director and leading actor, Fred Graham, has cast his ex-wife, Lilli Vanessi, as the leading lady, and the show centres on their love-hate relationship both onstage and off. Sparks fly in the battle of the sexes. Cole Porter’s score is one of the greatest, with such glorious songs as "Wunderbar", "So in Love", "I Hate Men" and the undeniable showstopper, "Brush Up Your Shakespeare". A College Operatic Society Production
