We will be performing Anything Goes, at the Tivoli Theatre, Wimborne, from Tuesday 25th June 2013 to Saturday 29th June 2013. Anything Goes is a fabulous Cole Porter musical comedy with great songs such as I get A Kick out of You, You’re the Top, Friendship, and of course Anything Goes!

We expect over 2000 people to see our show and from experience we know many more will read our Show Programme. Our programme is always very popular and this year is no different with some full pages already sold.

Our Show Programme is A4 size and full colour. We offer a range of options to suit most businesses with very competitive rates for full, half or quarter page ads, full colour or black and white and we are happy to discuss your options with you. If you require further information about our audience numbers and reach then we are happy to provide these for you and we can also provide examples of previous advertisements if needed.

Now we are rehearsing for our summer production of ‘Anything Goes’, which will take place at The Tivoli Theatre, 25 – 29 June, and this classic Cole Porter musical comedy, set on an ocean liner, has a great script and some of musical theatre’s most memorable standards, such as “I Get a Kick out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.”

We are still looking for more members to support us in this latest show. We need men and women – of any age – to join the passenger chorus; and we need some men, who ideally can dance to be in our sailor chorus; and we still have some supporting roles to fill.

If you are a budding musical theatre performer, or perhaps you’ve always fancied being part of a stage show, then why not join us – Wimborne’s very own award winning local amateur musical group. Ring Sylvia on 01202 659425 or email her for more information.

A DVD of the show is now available and we had have some great photographs of the show taken. Here’s a selection (click to enlarge), but for more please take a look at our ‘Our Photos‘ page.
