SUMMARY:Betty Blue Eyes – Stamford Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Following the hugely popular Miracle on 34th Street – the Musical last year\, College Players are delighted to be bringing Betty Blue Eyes (a very British musical comedy!) to Stamford. \nCollege Players Present \n‘Betty Blue Eyes’ a very British musical comedy \nThere’s a pig in the house…! \nFollowing the hugely popular Miracle on 34th Street -the Musical last year\, College Players are delighted to be bringing Betty Blue Eyes to Stamford. \nThe year is 1947\, Britain may have won the war\, but austerity is biting hard\, ration coupons are still in use and there are definitely not fair shares for all. \nIn a small Yorkshire town locals are determined to celebrate the Royal Wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Prince Philip with a banquet. Despite the antics of an over-zealous local government meat inspector\, the intention is to serve roast pork as the main course – at a very Private Function. \nEnter an adorable pig who is being secretly and illegally reared for the banquet\, whilst the locals make do with Spam. \nThis is a story full of eccentric yet lovable characters\, like Gilbert Chilvers – a humble chiropodist\, his wife Joyce – an ambitious piano teacher determined to be somebody\, and her constantly ravenous Mother. All dealing daily with an assortment of small town bullies\, spivs and snobs. But the star is undoubtedly Betty … the most endearing pig you’ll ever meet. \nBased on ALAN BENNETT’s film ‘A PRIVATE FUNCTION’ this musical is a delightful concoction of ‘make do and mend’\, heartwarming moments\, nostalgic songs\, a sprinkle of naughtiness\, and a dash of glamour. It will have you giggling\, tapping your toes and wondering why you’ve never seen it before. \nYou might even fall just a little bit in love …with a pig called Betty Blue Eyes!
