Brisk sales for 'Oliver, the
Musical'
20.10.08

TICKETS for 'Oliver,
the Musical' in Buncrana went on sale last week and
are selling briskly, according to the organisers.
Box office co-ordinator Elaine Grant said interest
in the show had been "phenomenal". "There is a huge
demand for the tickets since the box office opened
on Saturday and based on first day sales alone, we
would expect the show to sell out very quickly," she
said. The show opens on Thursday, October 30 for a
one-week run. It is the first musical to be
performed at St Mary’s Hall in 45 years. |

Emma Porter, who stars
as Nancy, says the long wait is leading to much
anticipation in the seaside town: “There is a great
buzz about Oliver! and people are getting really
excited as the time draws nearer. It’s a great
community effort for Buncrana and there has been a
lot of hard work to make sure that audiences will
experience a great night’s |
entertainment."
Audiences will be transported to Victorian London
from the moment they step inside St Mary’s Hall for
the show. The organisers' aim is to enhance the
overall experience, bringing people back to the late
19th century to make them feel they are a part of
the story. Anyone hoping to get a seat for the show
is advised to book soon.
The show runs until Saturday, November 8 but there
are no performances on Friday or Sunday due to the
local bingo. Matinees will take place on Saturday,
November 1st, Sunday, November 2 and Saturday,
November 8 at 2.30pm. To book call to the box office
in person or phone 086 2072496 or 086 2072497. |
