 “ARE WE THERE YET?!”
– A hilarious Musical Comedy of the Highest Quality - Not to be missed!!
“Lively and hugely entertaining.” -Robbie
Carnegie Buxton Fringe Festival 08
‘Are We there Yet?’ is the hilarious
musical comedy which gained nominations and reviews on it’s first showing at Buxton
Fringe last year.
Flying cattle class all the way, singers Donna
Wannabe (Diana Sharp) and Katherine Withakay (Dawn Foxall) take a titanic trip to glamour
city Las Vegas for their big break. They think
they are safe in the hands of pilot Ralf Dingo, (pianist David Barnard) but a storm over
the Atlantic has them diverting just about everywhere as they chase connections across the
globe with music from Carmen and the British Airways ad (Delibes famous Flower Duet) to
James Bond to name just a few.
Directed by Dan Marsh and already performed at
Buxton Festival Fringe 2008 and the New Works Season at the Rosemary Branch Theatre
London, the show was highly recommended at Buxton Fringe and won a nomination for Best
Music.
“Musically delightful, and beautifully sung, the
girls also bring great humour and showmanship to each piece, in which they are aided and
abetted by their skilful accompanist, David Barnard, in the role of camp cabin crew from
various nations.” - R Carnegie 2008
Buxton Fringe Festival
