A read through with a slight difference for our Summer production, Baby the Musical. We will be using the music from the original Broadway production so everyone can get a feel for the music before the auditions.
Baby has never been performed in South East Wales so this would be the Premier. Last seen in Swansea in 2000 and at the Fringe in 2008 Baby has wowed audiences globally. It is one of the biggest musicals in the United States and will certainly bring something different to the Rhiwbina stage.
The read-through is due to take place on Sunday 25 April 2010 at 7.30PM at Rhiwbina Memorial Hall.
