Publicity Quote

Some time ago Richard Stilgoe, co-lyricist for Phantom of the Opera, and Lyricist for Starlight Express listened to songs from Olympus, and wrote back commenting on the music. I have been in contact with him again, and he is happy for us to use the quote he made, in the publicity material for the production.

"Very few people can write good tunes - Ian Rae can" - Richard Stilgoe

The Search Continues

We've had some very good audition sessions over the past week and are confident that we can fill most of the more senior parts from those who have auditioned. This weekend we shall be continuing the process and also looking for actors and actresses to play some of the younger parts. What is particularly gratifying is the number of young professionals who would like to be part of this production.
