🎭✨ The full NODA review is in for Ruddigore! ✨🎭

We’re absolutely thrilled to have received such kind words from Ian in his full NODA review. Thank you, Ian, for taking the time to see our production and for your generous and encouraging comments. 💜

“The standard achieved here would not have been out of place on any West End Stage”

Most of all, we couldn’t be prouder of our Wymsies! ❤️ Your hard work, dedication, commitment and passion throughout the whole process truly shone through. From rehearsals to the final curtain, you gave it everything — and it certainly paid off!

A huge well done to everyone involved in bringing Ruddigore to life. What a fantastic achievement! 👏🎭

Now it’s time for a little break before we get ready to do it all again… We’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back and starting the new term on Friday 11th September! 🎶✨

Here’s to another exciting term with the Wymsies! 💜

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our Wymsies on this wonderful journey! 💜✨

First and foremost, to our amazing parents — thank you for the lifts, the encouragement, the patience, and, of course, the endless snacks! We quite literally couldn’t have done it without you. 🥰

To our incredible creative team — thank you for all the hard work, creativity and love you’ve poured into the production. A special thank you to our Director, Alec Fellows-Bennett, for his fantastic direction and for somehow managing to find every single ounce of humour hiding in the script! 😂

To our wonderful Wymsical band, led by Stephen — thank you for bringing the music to life so brilliantly. Stephen’s love of Gilbert and Sullivan was passed down to him from his late father, and we know he would be endlessly proud of the Wymsies and so impressed to see this wonderful music living on in a new generation. 💜

And to Claire-Louise, who somehow managed to play all of those trills, runs and fiendishly tricky bits in the score — you are incredible! 🎶👏

Steve for his brilliant lighting and deciphering Alec’s instructions!

And finally, our fabulous wardrobe team, Kate and Lex — thank you for making our Wymsies look absolutely glorious! From sewing to ironing (and everything in between), you’ve worked tirelessly all week to make sure everyone looked their best. And a special extra thank you to Kate for making the interval refreshments too! 🍰☕

We are so incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful team of people behind us.

Thank you all for believing in our Wymsies, supporting us, and helping to make this such a special experience. 💜

What a night! ✨🎭

We’re absolutely thrilled by the wonderful response to last night’s performance. The atmosphere, the laughter and the warmth from the audience made it a truly special evening — and we’re so proud of everyone involved, both on stage and behind the scenes.

We were especially honoured to welcome Ian Cox, NODA CIO Trustee, Life Member & Former Chairman of Trustees, who shared these wonderful words after the performance:

“To experience a demanding Gilbert and Sullivan work performed with such enthusiasm, musicality, imagination, comic timing and talent in a village hall was a genuine privilege, for which much appreciation. The standard achieved here in every respect would not have been out of place in a much larger venue.

This really was Gilbert and Sullivan at its very best — witty, musical, imaginative and thoroughly entertaining. My warmest congratulations to everyone involved on stage and behind the scenes, all of whom are deserving of the highest praise and all good wishes for the performance this evening and future productions.”

What an incredible endorsement! ❤️

A huge thank you to our cast, crew, musicians, creative team, volunteers and, most importantly, our wonderful audiences for making this production so memorable.

🎟️ Tickets are still available for tonight’s performance!

🎭 Ruddigore is TONIGHT! 🎶

The Wymsies have done something rather wonderful — they’ve rehearsed, learned and produced an entire show in just ONE week, harmonies and all! 👏

With a cast ranging in age from 8 to 21 (with a few adult cameos) it’s been fantastic to see them learning, growing in confidence and, most importantly, enjoying this gorgeous music together. 💛

If you’re looking for something special to do this evening, come and support these brilliant young performers! There’s nothing quite like live Gilbert & Sullivan — and this cast have put their hearts into it.

🎟️ Tickets are available for this evening’s performance — come along and enjoy Ruddigore with us!

Greetings Wymsical Fans!

Our wonderful Alec is directing the Malvern Young Company this week, and lovely Noah (Gaston, Dimitri & Burt Healey) is in the cast!

Alec says it’s not for really young audiences but there is a good nights theatre if you are in the mood for a nights entertainment.

It moves to the Crescent in Birmingham next week.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support yesterday’s performance of Robin Hood and the Sherwood Hoodies! 🌳🏹

We couldn’t be prouder of our incredible Wymsies, who gave their all on stage despite the soaring temperatures. Their hard work, resilience, and positive attitude were amazing to see—not a single complaint, just smiles, determination, and fantastic performances from start to finish. 💚

A special congratulations goes to our Debut and Spotlight groups, who took on the huge challenge of performing an entire show without the support of our senior members. For a cast aged just 8–12, they showed confidence, teamwork, and talent beyond their years. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves! ⭐

And, of course, thank you to our wonderfully supportive audience. Even in the heat, you cheered loudly, laughed heartily, and created such a brilliant atmosphere. Your encouragement means the world to our young performers.

There’s no slowing down! Next up is our Wymsical Prom this Friday, and then it’s straight into our summer project! Ruddigore produced in just one week! !

Here’s a snippet of yesterday’s finale, which I am still singing this morning!!

Thank you for being part of the Wymsical family—we can’t wait to see you again soon!
