“It`s A Girl Thing”
by Brian Langtry
Set initially in 1964 four young women meet in a Liverpool pub to celebrate a
birthday. They intend to round off the evening by going to the legendary Cavern
Club which is about to close its doors.
The foursome, from varied social backgrounds and cultures, are bonded in
lifelong friendship and share the excitement and anticipation of being about to
embark upon their adulthood. In Act 1 we learn about their dreams, foibles,
characters and aspirations. We also meet the strange and sinister `Suleman` a
young man known to them but not befriended by them.
Act
2
sees
the
foursome
back
in
the
pub
once
more
some
10
years
down
the
road.
Life
has
changed
for
all
and
deep
seated,
uncomfortable
and
in
some
cases
traumatic
truths
and
events
emerge.
Each
life
has
been
touched
by
the
unanticipated
and
emotional
scars
are
laid
bare
and,
sometimes
willingly
and
sometimes
forcefully,
shared.
They
all
have
cause
to
wonder
and
consider.
The
play is about friendship, falling out, making up, life growth and hurting.
Funny, Dramatic, Poignant, Captivating.

Written by Brian Langtry
A
new
all
singing
and
dancing
musical
play
with
a
stunning
cast
of
singers,
actors,
and
dancers.
A
foot
stomping,
heart
warming,
toe
tapping,
side
splitting kind of show!
This
is
the
true
story
of
one
Tommy
Parietti,
a
sixteen
year
old
raised
by
his
doting
grandmother,
who
is
plucked
from
the
playground
to
teenage
stardom
only
to
see
his
world
implode
as
personal
and
professional
stresses
and
circumstances threaten to tear him apart.
This
paves
the
way
for
a
musical
which
is
at
times
hilarious,
at
times
poignant,
at
times
uplifting,
adolescence,
friendship,
hilarity,
optimism,
despair and finally happiness and fulfilment.

this
23
unforgettable
pop
songs,
creative
choreography,
a
happy
ending
and
a
finale
guaranteed
to
have
an
audience
on
its
feet
singing
and
clapping
to
the
closing
choruses
of
what
cannot
fail
to
have
been
a
truly
memorable and enjoyable evening of entertainment.
Classic songs you`ll be humming all the way home!
Dance routines to make you want to boogie!
Lines you`ll still be laughing at tomorrow!
Moments that will capture your heart!

Tallulah
is
a
two-act
play
focusing
upon
the
character
and
life
of
the
infamous
Southern
Belle
who
charmed
London
and
Broadway
theatre
goers
from
the
1920`s
through to her virtual retirement in the 1950`s.
Outrageously
craving
of
attention
and
defiant
of
all
accepted
expectations
the
openly
bisexual
Tallulah
found
herself
drawn
to
the
intellectual
bohemians
of
her
era
becoming
a
devotee
of
both
`The
Algonquin
Set`
in
New
York
and
the
`Bright
Young
Things`
in
London.
She
was
reveired
by
her
coterie
in
London;
`
Gallery
Girls
`
who
took
great
delight
in
defying
every
known
theatre
convention
casting
aside
inhibitions
and
stamping,
cooing
and
wailing
at
their
heroine`s
every
movement.
A
uniquely
stylised
actress
Tallulah
would
these
days
inevitably
have
become
tagged
with the mantle of `celebrity`.
The
play
provides
a
frank
and
sexually
revealing
insight
into
the
character,
relationships,
psyche
and
idiosyncrasies
of
this
complex
woman
and
the
world
and
period
which
she
inhabited.
Visually
engaging
costuming,
sets
and
styling
from
1928 to 1954.
The production runs for 1hour and 45 minutes.
Minimum
cast
of
2
men
and
2
women-
9
characters
doubling
or
expanded
cast
for
individual roles.
Use
of
filmic
sequences
and
a
simulated
staging
of
`
The
Big
Show`
Tallulah`s
hit
radio show of the 1950`s which involves musical content.
