Rehearsal schedule
A musical that has existed for 40 years, hidden from view.............
The Likes of Us was the first collaboration between Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Tim Rice, before their success with Joseph. The show is on limited release to amateur companies in celebration of Andrew's 60th birthday. Amateur rights have been released, prior to professional release and eventual West End production
Reminiscent of Oliver! The Likes of Us tells the story of philanthropist Dr Thomas Barnardo. A medical student bound for China to work as a medical missionary, Barnardo discovers the appalling conditions of the poor children of London and decides to stay in England to care for them. The show is a combination of narration and songs performed by soloists and chorus in a costumed setting.
With a host of catchy tunes and excellent lyrics, this is a show which will delight all the family — don't miss it!
