✨ WHAT. A. SHOW. ✨

From all of us at BATS — thank you 💛

Thank you to our incredible audiences for supporting If Only and making the night so special. The atmosphere in the theatre was sensational from start to finish, and seeing your reactions to the performances meant the world to us 🎭✨

A huge thank you as well to our NODA North representatives, Helen and Peter, for coming along and supporting the production.

This show has been such a joy to create. Our cast and crew have loved every second of bringing it together — from the first rehearsal to the final curtain call. The talent, teamwork, laughter and passion behind the scenes have made this such a memorable experience for everyone involved 💫

To everyone who helped make if only possible — thank you.

Until the next one…👀🎶
