New Committee

After our lively AGM on Tuesday, Santa Claus has been extra kind and brought PBGS a New Committee for Christmas and the New Year!

Chairman – Paula Fraser
Vice Chairman – Paul Kerswill
Secretary – Alice Bridges
Treasurer – Richard Fraser
Committee Members – Richard Dean, Stephen Hoath, Jon Newham, Vicki Rehm, Bryony Reynolds, Barny Shergold

Thanks to everyone willing to stand (and in some cases stand again). And many thanks to our retiring Secretary, David Crew, and Committee member Nicole Santelmann for all their hard work and commitment. 

The AGM was a cause of celebration, Anne and Tony Critchley were unanimously re-elected as our Presidents (no getting away now...) and three long serving and valuable PBGSers were made Honorary Life Members. We don't know where we'd be without Clive Wheeler, Paula Fraser and Richard Fraser, so many congratulations from all of us. You deserve it so much after years of working hard for us all.

Important Pirates Audition Update

A message from our director, Richard Fraser:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, todays Auditions for Pirates of Penzance had to be cancelled at the very last minute.

On behalf of the committee and the production team I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The auditions have now been re-scheduled for Sunday 27th November at 3pm.

If you are not able to make that date and still wish to be considered, then please let me know at soon as possible. We are currently planning to have Tuesday 22nd November as an alternative date when those not able to make the Sunday auditions will be videoed for the panel.

If you have already been videoed and now wish to audition live on the new date, please let me know so we can delete the video. None of the panel have seen these anyway.

In the meantime rehearsals for the next two Tuesday’s will continue as planned while I look at the impact this will have on the current schedule as we will have lost two weeks of principle work.  A revised schedule will be published at the earliest opportunity.

Merry Widow Review

Nova Horley, our Noda Rep, has reviewed our recent prodution of The Merry Widow:
"I was interested that the Director had brought out much more humour in this version, which gave it dimension and interest.

The cast sang well, and the ensemble numbers were lively.

All in all an interesting and energetic version of an old favourite, with some well-sung performances from the various cast members."

A Big Thank You!


A big, big thank you to our audiences for coming along to the Queen Mother Theatre and supporting us this week. Your cheers and applause really made The Merry Widow special. 

Our thanks also go to our Director, Richard Syms, Musical Director Jane Stott and Choreographer Vikki Rehm for your dedication and patience in getting the best out of us. Its been great fun. Not to  mention our tireless Stage Manager, Richard Fraser, for keeping us in line and working against the odds to get get the show off the ground, and the lovely Paula Fraser who costumed us up-to-the-nines in silks, suits, feathers and Pontevedrian ribbons. We all looked fab! Some of us wanted to keep them...


Our next production will be Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance which we will be presenting at The Queen Mother Theatre, Hitchin from the 29th March - 1st April 2017. It's going to be a rip-roaring production with a twist! We look forward to seeing you all again there.

One week until The Merry Widow opens!

Only one week to go! Our production of The Merry Widow opens at the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin next Wednesday and runs until Saturday 8th October. Widow is full of glorious music, intrigue, waltzing and even a rip-roaring Can Can.
"Beautiful Anna’s late husband has left her a very rich woman. She’s so rich that the economy of Pontevedro depends on her marrying a local — so Baron Zeta springs into action with the help of his wife, Valencienne, to find Anna the right husband. It’s a tricky affair because Zeta wants it to be Count Danilo, an old flame, who has no intention of giving up bachelorhood, not with the Grisettes from Maxim’s around. Valencienne proposes Camille (who fancies Valencienne!) Rendezvous are rampant! Complications abound! Reputations are at stake and in the middle is poor Njegus, the Baron’s secretary, trying to prevent embarrassment all around. So who wins Anna’s heart? You’ll have to come and find out…."
Here is a little taster of some of the wonderful music Lehar wrote for Widow. Name that tune!

Merry Widow tickets now available!


The Queen Mother Theatre Box Office is now open for online booking! 

Tickets are £12 for Wednesday and £14 for Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening. Order  early to make sure of a seat for this ever popular Lehar operetta.

Telephone booking will open in September.
"The Merry Widow has been holding audiences spellbound since its premiere in 1905. 

This is the English version by Christopher Hassall and brings a wealth of romance and comedy easily identifiable to modern performers and audiences alike. 

Will Baron Zeta be able to convince the very rich and beautiful Hanna Glawari to marry a Pontevedrian suitor, Danilo, and keep her fortune within the country? Will she be able to convince Danilo, her old flame, that he won't be marrying her fortune as she will lose it when she remarries?
The sumptuous culture at the turn of the century in Europe provides the backdrop to this lavish story of love."

The Merry Widow


Our next production will be Franz Lehar's sparkling The Merry Widow, which we will be performing at the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin on the 5th - 8th October 2016. Directed by Richard Syms, who nursed us through the tangles of Into the Woods with such spectacular results, 'Widow' will be a musical and dramatic feast featuring such well known songs such as 'Vilia' and 'Women, Women, Women'.
"Beautiful Anna’s late husband has left her a very rich woman. She’s so rich that the economy of Pontevedro depends on her marrying a local — so Baron Zeta springs into action with the help of his wife, Valencienne, to find Anna the right husband. It’s a tricky affair because Zeta wants it to be Count Danilo, an old flame, who has no intention of giving up bachelorhood, not with the Grisettes from Maxim’s around.

All this and some spectacular Can Can dancing too! Watch this space for ticket information.

Review of Princess Ida



As you know, we regularly have our performances critiqued by Nova Horley our local NODA rep. We now have the Princess Ida crit and it's very complementary. If you'd like to know more about Nova and what she does in her capacity as our NODA rep, you can visit her website www.n-ovation.co.uk.
PUTTERIDGE BURY G&S SOCIETY “PRINCESS IDA” 7th April 2016 Director/Choreographer: Alison Gibbs Overture Choreography: Gordon Hodges MD: Margaret Johnson

I really enjoyed this production, the overture was put to good use with a nicely thought out and executed ballet choreographed by Gordon Hodges, which got us into the mood of the production. 

Alison Gibbs brought out so much humour, it put the production on another level for me, and I chuckled my way through, with the many topical references and different characterisations.

Being in 3 Acts made it quite a long evening, and it would have been nice to have had a note in the programme as to how long each interval would be – then the audience could have decided which one they wanted to avail themselves of, as there was some confusion to start with, and I think that made the interval unnecessarily long. 

Costumes were very colourful and looked good – a small note for the men – their first costumes would have benefitted from them wearing the tights they wore with their second costumes, as short black socks did not look good! I liked the ladies wigs and hairstyles with their first costumes, and the headdresses with their second, creating a very different look – which helped the plot along. I was a little perplexed by Princess Ida’s dress, it seemed very plain and not in keeping with the style of the other ladies dresses, and just struck a rather incongruous note, it looked much better with the green tabard in Act 3. 

The backdrops were almost fantasy-land in look, but were very pretty and I particularly liked the single blue lighting used in Act 2 Finale, and for Princess Ida’s song in Act 3 which changed the colouring of the backdrop completely, along with Ida being in a spotlight, creating a very good atmosphere, as did the pink lighting in the opening of Act 3. Lighting generally from Alan Bailes was nicely conceived and enhanced the production look and feel. I liked the lighting for the fight too. 

Sound is never a problem at the QM – as no visible mics are used, and the band is heard as is, with no additional amplification that I could see. 

Margaret Johnson had worked well with the cast to get some nice harmonies, and different expressions into the music, which helped make it seem fresh and interesting. 

Paula Fraser again showed her accomplishment and understanding of G&S with her portrayal of Princess Ida – good relationships with the other cast members, and moments of tenderness with Hilarion, which contrasted well with her rather warlike tendencies otherwise. 

I loved Hilarion as played by Gordon Hodges, I am aware that he was working under some difficulty, but it didn’t show, and he couldn’t have done more to bring this character to life. The slightly camp and balletic interpretation worked well with Florian and Cyril, making them a nicely diverse trio. I thought Gordon also showed his very good singing voice off extremely well, with expressive elements and good phrasing. 

Florian was the more mature and robust member of the trio, played very well by Stephen Hoath, trying to curb the eagerness of Hilarion and Cyril – I enjoyed his interpretation and singing.

Joe Emler was a super enthusiastic Cyril, such energy, which added so much to what could have been a rather insignificant character – a good all round portrayal, delivered with gusto. 

David Crew played King Hildebrand, bringing his usual gravitas and understanding to the role. Beautifully sung, and well-acted. I liked the movement in his first number with the chorus.

Paul Kerswill gave King Gama an almost Shakespearean Richard III look – and a very mean character – which sat well against Hildebrand’s very upright stance – again creating good diversity. I loved the trio of soldiers, played by Ian Boughton, Barny Shergold and Peter Johnson – it must have been such fun (although a little restricting in the suits of armour) to have played the parts, and their first song was particularly funny. Their chains needed sorting so that they actually looked is if they were being restrained, but otherwise it all worked well. 

Jo Bigg created a lovely Lady Psyche, soft and interesting, whilst Margaret Snape was the strict and conniving Lady Blanche – I loved the way she manipulated her cloak so that she exited with a flourish after her Act 2 number, the tin hat with the a sparkling ornament also created a good look! 

Lovely to see Emma and Katherine Crew on stage with their father, and creating two charming but different characters in Melissa and Chloe. I liked Katharine’s very warlike facial expressions, and Emma’s delightful smile. 

Nicole Santelmann maintained a good accent as Sacharissa, whilst Ketina Orriss was an appealing Ada. 

The ensemble including the dancers, were very well rehearsed, and their faces showed their enjoyment, which isn’t always evident in G&S, with Alison Gibbs creating simple but effective choreography for the cast. 

Overall a very enjoyable evening – a good production with loads of humour and interest. My thanks to PBGS for their hospitality, always good to catch up with society members.

A message from our Presidents


A lovely message from our Presidents, Anne and Tony Critchley
We wanted to thank you all for your efforts with “Princess Ida”. We felt that it was the most entertaining version we have seen, with some innovative ideas to keep the interest going. The costumes and wigs were fine – even with the problems we heard about later! The singing was with enthusiasm and excellent diction which we felt essential for telling the story. One of the audience said to me “We come to see PBGS because they do not use microphones and you can hear every word that they sing”. Praise indeed!! So carry on the good work! We look forward to the next show and hope you think all the hard work is worth it – we did and gained such pleasure from it and felt privileged in watching it too.

The acting showed good reactions all the way through which is often lacking, particularly with the chorus work, so very well done to everyone.

Very best wishes to you all,

Anne & Tony

Our name's up in lights!


There is still time to buy tickets for tonight's opening performance of Princess Ida. Only £12 for an evening of Women's Lib, sword fights, monkeys (!) and general Medieval Mayhem! Fabulous music, gorgeous costumes and the best of Gilbert's razor sharp wit.

Princess Ida opens next week!


Ida (Paula Fraser) educates her 'Fair Neophytes'
Our latest production of Princess Ida opens on the 6th April at the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin. Produced by Alison Gibbs and under the baton of our MD Margaret Johnson this is going to be a spectacular show full of some of Sullivan's best music.

Ida was G&S's eighth collaboration, opening at the Savoy Theatre in 1884 and running for 246 performances. Gilbert turned his razor wit on some of the major issues of the day - women's education, the rise of feminism and Darwinism. Princess Ida runs a women's university at Castle Adamant and teaches that man is the source of all ills. That, indeed, he is no more than a 'monkey shaved'. But three young men disguised as women have invaded their hallowed halls and one of them, Prince Hilarion, was betrothed to her when she was only one year old. He wants to win her hand hoping she will fall in love with him, but when his father arrives with an army to enforce the marriage Ida decides to fight. But not all the ladies are so ready to go to war...

It's war with King Hildebrand (David Crew)
Based on Gilbert's own earlier burlesque of Tennyson's poem The Princess-A Medley, Princess Ida is the only G&S opera written entirely (and brilliantly) in blank verse and the only opera they wrote in three acts. Sullivan produced some of his finest music, including 'The world is but a broken toy', considered by many to be one of his most beautiful melodies.


Our own production, which runs from the 6th - 9th April, brings all that you'd expect from a PBGS production - outstanding singing, chorus's to lift the roof off, plenty of humour and some spectacular costumes. Time to book your ticket if you haven't already done so!
