A Man of No Importance is a musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and a book by Terrence McNally, based on the 1994 Albert Finney film.

It tells the story of an amateur theatre group in Dublin and their leader, who is determined to stage a version of Salome at his church, despite the objections of church authorities.

Urdang’s LINK shows, in order to preview the next up and coming West End performing stars.  

At the Pleasance Theatre I saw these budding young performers in the musical of The Man of No Importance. 

Sophie Huggett (Dance Captain) did a good job with the cast of twenty five which, performed to their best. 

The staring roles were all performed very well. The main character Alfie Byme was portrayed by Elander Moore. He was fantastic and accomplished a real sprite of the man. 

Other notables were Adele played by Linnea Lagerqvist.  Caitlin Devlin as Mrs. Curtin, Lauren Wilson as Mrs. Grace and Stuart Henderson as Carney/Oscar Wilde all portrayed strong singing 

We can look forward to bright future with this group of students, when they finish their training later on this year.

Bring It On: The Musical

Urdang 3 rd Year Musical Presentations

I'm attending an Urdang show to the preview up and coming, West End stars. 

I went to see some of these budding young performers in the musical Bring It On at the Pleasance Theatre and this is what they did.

This was a brilliant musical to show off their talents in acting, B- dancing and singing. The show has a good deal of Break dancing, so they have to be real flyers.

Nicolle Matheu (Dance Captain) did an outstanding job.

All the students, in this cast of thirty, performed to their best.

The staring roles were all performed very well.

The main characters Bridget was played by Paige Ellen with her strong singing voice and Danielle played by Somer Scott-Clarkson with matching voice power, were both outstanding.

The role Campbell was played well by Amber Davies.  

Oscar Fonseca is also another up and coming star as he delivered his role of La Cienega at a very high standard.

Chante Ayres was also very good.

The entire ensemble was tight and they all showed their talents as great Break dancers.

We can look forward to a bright future again with this group of students, when they finish their training later on this year.

42nd Street - Urdang Academy

Urdang 3 rd Year Musical Presentations

Going to see an Urdang show is always a real treat. The season has started to have a preview of who the next west end performing stars could be. 

I went to see some of these budding young performers in the show 42nd Street Show at the Pleasance Theatre. This is how they get to show off their talents in acting, dancing and singing. This show has a good deal of tap dancing, so they have to be real hoofers.

Lillian Reeves (Dance Captain) and Marianna Macari-Ferris (Vocal Captain) did an outstanding job in making sure that all the students, in this cast of thirty, performed to their best. Keeping everyone in line is no easy task.

The staring roles were all performed very well. The main character Dorothy Brock was played by Katerina Shadbolt was outstanding and Peggy Sawyer was also delivering to a high standard.

Julian Marsh was portrayed by Ashley Woellner who has a strong singing voice and acted well.  

Lauren Gray also stood out for role as Maggie Jones.

The entire ensemble carried the musical with brilliant understanding of what it was taking to focus on.

We can look forward to bright future with this group of students, when they finish their training later on this year.
